The first screen with the sawblades was very frustrating--perhaps I was not using the intended strategy. It felt like sometimes when you jumped into a wall, you would turn around, and sometimes you wouldn't...?\n\nIn general I would say my main criticism of the game is that some of the jumps seem too precise given how limited your platforming abilities are. But overall it's not too bad, it can just take a few tries to actually nail the timing on all the jumps.\n\nI like the music, although it might be a little too somber, I'm not quite sure. As far as graphics--I usually point this out when I see it--I don't really like mixed pixel art resolutions (i.e. in one of the levels there was a big block, made out of larger pixels than the surrounding elements). This is of course a personal artistic choice but in my opinion it's better to avoid. :shrug:\n\nI generally liked the game. It has a good amount of puzzle solving, and a good amount of platforming. One thing I like in particular is how many levels there are. Making a lot of levels is quite an accomplishment for a jam game. :smile:","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Honey Pony","author_uid":"1162497","time":"2020-04-22T04:08:29Z","epoch":1587528509,"modified":1587528509,"text":"Also, here's my final level solution! :smile:\n![FrijoleSolution.png](\/\/\/raw\/1ca\/72\/z\/32242.png)","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"RASHEED","author_uid":"1193112","time":"2020-04-22T08:37:10Z","epoch":1587544630,"modified":1587544630,"text":"good game \nand very fun to play\nkeep it up!! and good luck\n","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"defectivemelon","author_uid":"1002277","time":"2020-04-22T11:19:32Z","epoch":1587554372,"modified":1587554372,"text":"@honey-pony Thanks for playing + leaving great feedback! The issue with only bouncing off walls sometimes I only noticed in the last hour before I submitted, totally get how frustrating that is, as well as the precise jumps.\n\nRe: the art and music, I totally agree. I've grown used to the music, but it kinda muddies what the soul of the game is -- is it serious? Is it cute and fun? The mixed pixel resolution was pure laziness on my end to try and add some visual variety, I agree it's an eyesore :) \n\nCool to see your final solution, different from mine in almost every way!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"CodingNinjaJoas","author_uid":"1147409","time":"2020-04-22T12:41:46Z","epoch":1587559306,"modified":1587559306,"text":"This game is really nice, totally unexpected too","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"nanolotl","author_uid":"1002753","time":"2020-04-22T12:46:25Z","epoch":1587559585,"modified":1587559585,"text":"Well designed game and implemented well.

Everything works beautifully well and I thoroughly enjoyed it! You know what, it may not be the best looking game I've ever played but it is a game that was incredibly well. All there is to really do is just polish it and make it look and feel amazing.\n\nSome criticisms:\n- The UI could be improved on. Eg. A better implementation of the text appearing? It could be nice to have a reset button aswell.\n- Would be nice to have a non-intrusive background. Just something to visually add to the game.\n- Would feel better if the art was more consistent. Not only in the pixel resolution but also in a stylistic point of view. It sorta feels like each art piece belongs in a different place. Maybe try restricting yourself to a colour palette?\n\nAll in all, this is a great game. You should be really proud of it!! Can't wait to see an updated version of the game.

I got to the last level but I didn't finish it. The music was great, the gameplay was addicting (just one more level!) I'll be ranking this one high on fun, that's for sure.\n\nThe weakest point is probably the graphics, the stylistic clash between different sprites detracts from the aesthetics of the game. Another small thing I would suggest would be to add a little \"coyote time\" for jumping off ledges. If you aren't familiar with the concept, it's basically just allowing the player jump for a few frames after walking off a ledge. A margin of error in case the player presses jump a fraction of a second too late. Most platformers do it, but the effect is subtle. It's more noticeable when it's not there, because it usually feels like unresponsive controls to the player. That's just a tip for next time, what you have here already is solid and definitely one of my favorites in the jam so far!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"defectivemelon","author_uid":"1002277","time":"2020-04-23T01:58:17Z","epoch":1587607097,"modified":1587607097,"text":"@curtamyth -- thanks for the tip, a nice tool to add to my kit.
