I'd love to try your game but is there a way to play it without NPM?

@jag Unfortunately not. We ran into some issues with hosting so this is currently the only way to play the game.

Can't play it either, hope you can fix I at some point cause it seems super cool!

Sorry, I would love to play it but I don't have the option to install the game. If it would just run in a browser ...

It looks like a lovely puzzle platformer. Do you plan to find a way to host it?

@connorses Yes, we are currently looking into it. Due to us having things to do today/it being a monday, it isn't something we have been able to fix. We only have one programmer on the team so when he is able, we will try to get it hosted.

@jag @feesh @connorses Good news! We fixed the issue and we are now hosting on itch.io! A link will be posted momentarily.

I really liked the concept of the game, very different from what I saw so far.

cool art style!

Nice art style. Could be more cohesive. I also designed a platformer but this was my first time. Good game overall with interesting mechanics

I really loved it! The idea of having three abilities that you have to rotate in between was very innovative. The art was cute, and the music is so lovely. Im currently stuck on level 2 though...

Impressive! Just needs some fine tuning!
The input feels too punishing sometimes.

Art is fantastic, the platformer portion needs some work. But very impressive for such a short window. Great job!

Art is superb, jump is kinda weird, it sometimes doesnt jump, even tho i should be jumping in the loop. the idea of an action loop is great! good job :)

I can't get past Level 2. I can't jump to the other side. Either the jump is too low or I'm doing something wrong. I like the concept of fixed sequence of actions though.

You guys did a splendid job with the theme and art. Just some fine tuning in levels makes it more better.
Thank you!!

Great job! I loved the art style and the main character! I think the theme was used well here and the main feedback I'll note is that some of the platforming/input precision seemed a bit tough (unless I was doing the puzzle completely wrong which is entirely possible on my end).

This is such a cool, unique idea! Great execution, too. Well done, team!

Fun little puzzle platformer with good art and music whats not to love.

Great game, couldn't quite figure out how to get past level 2. I'm gonna make a note of this game and go back to finish it after I get to some other people's games. Awesome artwork and nice audio. The mechanic fits the theme well and is fun, great entry!

interesting concept and cute art. I was only able to make it to the second level because of the clunky platforming though.

Nice concept! Can't get past level 2 tho. Oooh and nice art style

The visuals are nice, especially the adorable mage girl you play as, the difficulty really spikes up super high really fast and I couldn't get through the second level
the idea has plenty of potential, if perhaps each level had a different loop of actions there's a tonne of potential for puzzle design, overall nice work!

Nice game idea, I really love the art. Can't get past level 2, already tried several minutes :(
I feel like the jumping could have been a bit higher to make it easier.

Really cute artwork, cute music, VERY creative gameplay, love the concepts you've implemented! Great job.

Great concept, but I couldnt get past level 2. I was able to destroy the first box, but I only got up to the platform it was on once, that jump with up is very difficult. I would have loved to play more!

I will try to @ people tomorrow but i see level 2 is presenting some difficulty! Sorry about that. If i recall correctly it may help to occasionally jump and while in the air use a fireball to help push yourself in a certain direction. Thanks guys!

Really interesting and creative game! Loved the idea and the artwork.

Amazing graphics!.. Really like this piece of art :heart: - unfortunately i had the same Level 2 problem the others had.. but still overall great job :smile:

Unfortunately I am also in the level 2 club :( I'd love to play more but I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to cross the pit!
Very cute art and unique concept, though. The music is light and fun as well!

Magnificent gameplay, art and sound. But controls might be more responsive for a platformer, I mean a jump could be adjusted to match the level desgin and so on. But for a jam -- great.

Love the art, love the idea. Good job!

Friendly criticism: I got pretty frustrated by the level design when I fell in a hole and had to start over, I gave up. I struggled and became frustrated with the cool-down mechanics. When I would know what to do, and try to execute, expecting to be able to jump or fireball but it being locked out and on cool down was pretty awkward and I wonder if that restriction needs to exist; maybe not so long? maybe the completing the loop should reset the cooldowns?

The jump required here combined with hitbox and sprite mismatch added up to feel quite unfair.

This problem happens again later in the stage with a death pit below it, which is where I quit.


The designer in me wondered what this would look like


A HUD like this would keep our eyes focused closer to the character, rather than needing to see my available move all the way up in the corner of the screen. Something to consider. The drawback being that it also looks a little cluttered.

@ismael-rodriguez Thank you so much for your feedback! We definitely had similar thoughts to some of your suggestions for future improvement in the UI department, and you elaborated even more in some areas. I really like the way you have it mocked up for the action loop- ty for that :) Also, much appreciated criticism. We're excited to tweek alot of things post-jam.

Had fun with what I played, the only problem I had was with the timing on on attacking then double jumping. It frustrated me at first but I eventually just played around with it until I got the hang with it but maybe there could be a timer or something to show. Also ran into a bug where he would be permanently greyed out idk if the grayed out was suppose to be the timer or not. Sound was good as well I liked the sounds for the jumping and the attack.

You guys did a great job with quality artwork and music as well as coming up with an interesting game mechanic. The movement was a bit too tight in my opinion, but I would love to see the puzzle-like mechanic fulfilled with more levels!

Glad you got it working! The mechanic of limiting which abilities you have to use was cool. It got easier once I figured out the pattern of launching a fireball and immediately double jump, so that the fireball won't cause me to fall.
As a level designer I feel like a great twist would be a scenario where there's something you can't hit with a fireball. Of course, that means the player could launch a fireball away from that thing. Which is why you either place the object on both sides of the player,
or, give the player a spell that launches fireballs on both sides every time.
It got my brain working on ways you could expand on the concept with new levels, which is great.
