Back and forth by suppi

[raw]
made by suppi for LD30 (JAM)
My unfinished game.

My initial idea was a game about two world which are a mirror image of each other, one goes forward and one goes backward, and about someone who can move between these two worlds and when he manipulates one world, the other is manipulates as well.

Unfortunately I came unprepared to this jam and was only able to implement some one the core mechanics of the game and it became a random game about chickens or something like that.

---

I used the following tools to create the game:
HaxeFlixel
Vim
Pickle
Pixlr
Bfxr
my guitar


I hope for a better jam next time :)


more ports tomorrow, maybe.

Too bad it's unfinished, the idea sounds cool :/
I liked the music much, pretty relaxing.

Good start ... I liked especially the music. When you jump on other chicken then the character bugs around a bit.

I couldn't figure out what to do, and got stuck down on the bottom with many chickens. Would have been funny if the game was about chickens pecking order or something.

Nice simple platformer. Audio makes everything better.
I reached the end by glitching through a gate.

Seems like an interesting idea but I didn't know what was going on - Probably due to it being unfinished.
I got stuck between some gates at some point and had to stop.
The nice looking things looked nice, and the sound effects were not bad. Not much in terms of game though.

Too bad it's unfinished, but I did enjoy the melancholy life of a chicken :)

Meh, took too long to get used to it! A randomd chicken game where space mixes directions and controls. And when I got the hang of it, I fell so far down, to get back up would have been long long and I aint up for that cause it wasnt worth it.

However, I know how you feel about not being able to do things you wanted to, I felt the same with my entry, I still wish you good luck in the finals! :3 What finals! :>

Pretty weird, I guess that happened because you couldn't finish it. Good vibes, it could have been a great game. Good effort!

The idea sounds really cool but the game seems too random and unfinished as well as the controls being extremely slippery and physics-based instead of under player control.

Hope the idea keeps getting developed though, once I got on a platform and reversed it was really cool to fly up instead of just fall down!

Music is nice, I dig it.

Movement reversal is interesting, and music is top notch as everyone else mentioned. Hope you'll have better luck and more gameplay next time. :)

I really liked the music, made me feel at ease :). I did not quite understand the goal of the game nor I saw the theme in it. Got stuck in the bottom with a bunch of chickens. Great job!
