I like the implementation of lives being your countdown instead of time! It's very unique and having one counter be multiple types of resources is really cool!
You know, I like this. It's a very raw game, in the sense that I feel like it doesn't find itself needing to be particularly palatable. There are no checkpoints, there are some red herrings and false paths that lead you to death, even just the concept of the bouncing island is fun, if only ever so slightly relentless. The game is tough, but it's clearly designed with intent, and I like that. It's not really hard for the sake of being hard, you know?
Anyway, congrats on submitting for this game jam! Be proud. I wish you the best!
Thank you very much for your comment, and for your appreciation of what we were going for with the experience. It was fun to discover what the game was and how it would be shaped in short time.
Pretty fun but too hard for me
It was a very fun and hard experience. Nice artwork and narrative. With a bit more level design can be a full game.
I'm glad you found the difficulty fun, and enjoyed the visuals and story.
Sounds like we should think about what we can add later to fill it out!
Very fun little game! i loved the concept, it was very fun but at some point very hard too! congrats, you should make this a full game
Awwww! Maybe we will come back to it and round it out.
Perhaps we could add some difficulty options?
That was nice little game! Definitely felt like more chill Downwell. If you dont know the game you should check it out! I think this game had everything in place. Solid entry, well done! Had fun with it.
Downwell is great, absolutely an inspiration here. :D
I'm glad you had fun with the game, and that it felt like it had all the right pieces.
I had fun trying to figure out how each level should be solved, but some obstacles were placed cruelly right where I had to hit the bosses. I enjoyed how the story was unfolded gradually. Nice artwork too. Great job!
I'm glad you liked the ways and places we added story--its hard to resist adding some narrative to a game, and getting creative with the time we had to make it was fun.
I hear you on some of the levels being pretty tricky!
Fun game, movement was very responsive.
Thank you very much! I'm glad the controls felt like you were in control. :)
The idea reminds me of downwell. it's executed nicely, though I feels like it's very unforgiving, especially with an air jump consuming one life. i think my favorite part was the story, I think thats a funny play on the phrase tech wizard.
Thank you, Downwell was definitely an inspiration here. I'm glad you enjoyed the story, despite the steep difficulty.
Really fun, the movement felt really fluid and the levels are pretty hard but in a good way, you have a center story that tell you what's going on in the first place . Really good job man ;)
Thank you for the kind words and feedback! I'm glad you liked the game and found the challenge appealing. :)
simple and fun game
Thanks for checking it out!
Good concept, and I really like the game, the visuals are cool
I'm glad you enjoyed it! A lot of time went into the visuals. :D
