sorry, didn't have time to make the volume settings work. will be fixed after the jam

glad you liked the game, and thanks for playing. the ai is wonky since I had to spend more time on all the other content but didn't have enough to fully polish the ai especially in level 1 and 2, where they either can't jump sometimes or rarely do jump. I should make it automated using a package next times so I don't have to worry about it as much.

the speed/slipperyness/acceleration is something people already mentioned. it is kind of a preference but more people want it gone than not so next time we do a platformer in a jam were gonna make it less slippery. and yes theres a lot of bugs, if we had time to fix those the game would probably fare better.

thanks for playing. a few others noted the difficulty in controlling the player, including the slippery walking and how there's no coyote time for jumping. the more major issue I think is coyote time since it makes jumps a lot more annoying but I didn't have time to fix it up for the jam.

the amount of content is since I always set my scopes too high. should've just stuck with 15 or so effects instead of the nearly 30 in game and also worked on making levels longer since most of them despite being large, the game can be beaten in under 3 minutes and some levels under 30 seconds. I'm gonna try making a random level generator tool in case something like this happens again so I can just use it and get on my way.

many people hate the clouds and I get it. I should've made them give levitation (which is an unused variant of the effect they give that's like slow falling making it less annoying) but I forgot to check when I was dealing with those two effects and now one is unused and one is used for multiple attacks. sorry about that.

thanks for playing. about your issues:

the reason for the rng on the last level is due to us planning out 25+ effects and having no time to give all of them a unique way to get. I always take a specific route which lets me win most of the time since you can get all the needed effects and have them for enough time but it depends on if you get really bad effects or slightly bad effects since they can vary.

if you're talking about the slight slipperyness of the movement, that was to try to make the movement more fluid, but some people prefer more instant movement. from now on we'll try to make controls way less slipeery and more instant/reactive unless he game requires it.

most of the effects being called the opposite of what you think can be explained for most of them. slow recovery, although it extends your debuffs which makes it slightly easier to beat levels, having extended debuffs for so long makes you take a ton of damage and leads you to get killed easily if not paired with many positive effects, and quick recovery will cause you to take less damage from effects due to it making them all last less time. those ones make sense to argue against since that was my original argument but now I somewhat disagree. about the ascension/floating effect, that one was a bug, sorry about it. and blindness usually doesn't work due to fog related things in unity.

most of our team couldn't work on the game during the jam  and thus I worked on it for a lot of time, but I think I got burnt out and didn't have the time to check for bugs. I think to prevent this happening we're definitely lowering our scope next time. sorry for the bugs.

falling out of the map is also a bug. it's because I forgot to add the ending cutscene to the scene list so it never loads. i completely forgot to test if the cutscene loaded which is completely on me, sorry. probably one of the more major bugs since you technically can never beat the game, sorry. thanks anyways, glad you enjoyed it.

sorry about that, the game is meant to be chaotic but I made it way too chaotic, specifically the shock and ascension effects are just super annoying especially paired with some of the other movement effects. I always have much higher scopes in jams than I should and it goes wrong every time. there also is just a lot of bugs due to me putting alot of time into random things I shouldn't have. thanks for playing though.

glad you liked it. i tried adding a punch cooldown but like a lot of the other QoL features i added they all bugged out after i added stuff later on and i never noticed. also, the moving platforms bug i had no idea about, since i ported them over from another project i worked on a while back and usually they automatically stop to prevent crushing but i don't know what happened. sorry about the bugs and thanks for playing!

I also want to point out that it's funny that you can find venom before poison yet the description for venom directly refers to the poison debuff as if you've read it 😅

thanks for playing, and I get what you're talking about since all the other debuffs are solely debuffs. and I'm pretty sure lava making you jump higher was unintentional. the thing that was supposed to deal with that was how you often get positive effects from enemies that will damage you while giving you the effect but usually the effect is more powerful. also if you're talking about the Shock debuff I kinda agree but we already put it in game and has nothing else to do with it. either way thanks for playing

Thanks for playing! The issue with the background and foreground contrast is understandable especially on the later 2 levels, so thanks for pointing that out. Glad you liked the game.

thanks for playing, glad you liked the music!

the coyote time was implemented at one point but somewhere during development something must have caused it to stop working or I may have accidentally turned it down during testing. I probably will release a massive patch after the rating period since it's too late. glad you liked the idea and the music.

I too never wake up on time

There are probably tons more out there, you just need to look for them. We've seen many platformer submissions already.

Thanks! We're glad you like the game, we put a lot of time and effort into it.

thanks for the feedback! after the jam rating period ends we will likely release a patch with a few quality of life changes including reducing the slipperyness. glad you like the game and music
