What I liked was the calm music and the overall mood of the game. Some other aspects weren't as polished. Graphics are alright (I can't do better myself:sweat_smile:) but the movement felt a bit too rigid before I found out that you can jump mid-air (not sure if that's a bug or not but I would almost be tempted to leave that in then I felt floaty and nice).
I missed some kind of indication of how to move, it's easy to figure it out but a simple small message on the first screen would suffice, something like "Move using WASD". And the other thing I missed is indication of that there is nothing else here at the "WASNT YOUR FAULT" screen. I would add a small message like "Thanks for playing" or what not.
Personally, I think this is a fine addition to the jam. :thumbsup:
I enjoyed exploring this idea in your game.
BTW I read about music from other comment, but I haven't heard any sound (Chrome).
Ps: I didn't heard any music on my end either - playing on Chrome (even tried to see if my settings were ok).
A little about the problems noticed:
- Web version doesn't work? I was unable to launch the game in either Chrome or Firefox. **But this is not a big problem**, because jar works fine.
- Jar version on HIDPI screen in a very small window. There is no full screen or resize window. **But this is OK**, because the text is still perfectly readable.
- As noted above, the platforming mechanics are a bit awkward. **But this is not so important**, because the essence of this game is not about jumping on platforms.
Haha, it looks like а boost of optimism from the game influenced my feedback!
Thanks for the game!
Unfortunately I didn't hear any sounds or music on browser. Good job!
The only thing missing is a bit of ambient sound.
Nice entry overall
Cheers
Either way, I liked the message of the game and the way levels were presented. Though the movement was a bit clunky, but that's okay as it was a compo game. A great entry nevertheless! :)
I know a few people don't like that it doesn't say "Thanks for playing" or something like that but that was kind of the idea. I wanted the player to feel like that was their new 'loop'. Their is a defiant argument to be made to put at least a message saying it's over but I felt like that took something away from the original idea.
