It is really compelling to explore the different island and the puzzle are not too complicate that you get stuck and frustrated. The game, even though relaxing is well paced.
I loved playing this one, thanks a lot!
(You can see me playing this game for the first time on the vod https://youtu.be/lXUmif8KKxM?t=4h3m21s )
Big thank you to you, Togis! Stream was awesome, loved all the games you played! Definitely appreciate the shout-out. :smile:
And thanks, @samlo! Monolith is incredible, you should be super proud.
One of the only things I can say is that the collision detection when you grow can certainly be much better. I have no idea how you would go about doing that, but it's something that you should certainly look into.
For a ludum dare game, this entertained me for a surprisingly long time! It took me just over half an hour to find all of the treasures, and I don't regret any of it. Thanks for the great game!
I only found three coins, but felt motivated by the exploration setting to try and find the last one, but had to give up in the end because I couldn't find it.
When it comes to atmosphere, your game is spot on, with the exception of the "buddy"-tone of the statue's text which I found was clashing with the general soothing atmosphere of the game a bit.
Gameplay wise, I liked how you changed the speed of the player depending on its size, but I would have preferred to have the larger modes make bigger steps so they would get faster from A to B. Maybe a more pronounced ambling animation in the camera with a slight pause between two steps would have worked well here.
Overall a very impressive entry for 48 hours.
Technically I'll have to mention that you are not allowed to add anything to the game outside of the allotted time, even if you opt out of that category. If you want make changes afterwards, please create a separate post-compo version of the game in addition to the original version and mark both accordingly. If you haven't recorded the ambient music yourself, that is also not allowed for the Compo. However, in the Jam you are free to use any external assets and you also have an extra day for adding them. You can even switch from Compo to Jam in the middle of LD if you feel time is running out for you.
Just in case you wondered why you received only a few votes: You need to rate and comment more on other games to appear higher on the games list, which in turn will increase your chances of getting exposure and thus more votes for yourself.
I found only 3 coins but overall really enjoyed your game!
But somehow shrinking and growing doesn't work for me ... :-/
