Very very cool game. Made it to the end with only 13 years left to use. Thought I was going to have to restart. I could see this being expanded into a full game as well! Really cool concept and take on the theme.
very fun concept implemented in a clear and playable way. I found a minor bug where, after losing and restarting, the movement controls worked but the time controls didn't, so I had to reload the page, but other than that it worked very well. Would love to see this built out and expanded, I think there's a lot of scope here to try more age categories and abilities. Congrats on the submission!
creative take on the theme! i think being able to change ages faster/midair could pave the way for even more different types of platforming challenges.
Fun game idea! For some reason, pressing x for a short time didn't change the age count, but overall it run quite fluently! Congratulations for finishing :)
I like the idea, and it introduces some interesting mechanics. I just wished I could more easily switch between different ages and not having to replay it after the timer hits 0
Love the pixel art for this game :) It took me a hot minute to understand that the old body could push stuff around which meant I had 44 years left by the time I got to the next level, maybe a little more clarification on the ages and the abilities would help. I think the idea is really fun and I would love to see more development with it!
Well done on submitting a game! :)
Nice game and I love the idea here, but it seems like it's too simple. Also when I fell to the hole there was no death screen. I would like to be able to adjust my age whilst walking
Congratulations on making and releasing your game!
It's an interesting concept (and something I considered too for my game initially), but had some difficulties playing. For example, I didn't think to press arrow down to crawl (initial tutorial), and I couldn't get past the big gap with the four white blocks on the ground (I believe it was the 3rd level). As the previous commenter said, it was strange for me that I couldn't make the jump as a young 20-something and able-bodied man, but I could at 71?
Anyway, happy I played it, thanks for making it!
Love the idea but it was a little too simplistic and some of the abilities seemed off (why is elderly age the strongest?) Would love to see this concept built out.
Adjusting Age is a big clunky, it's not based of button presses (or detects it with latency)
