This is quite fun!

it took me a few minutes to figure out what I should be doing, but once I got the hang of it..

It's a really interesting concept and you've got the "manage your platforms and timing" down quite well!

Art style reminds me a lot of risk of rain.

Really consistent and nice graphic and sound styling and I loved the shader! It's got a lot of potential

I want to try it, but could not get it to work. Tried in two browsers, just a gray screen for me. Any ideas why and how to fix?

Very funny game!

A interesting game love it!

@wafflecomposite hey sorry that sucks. which browsers did you try? I had a few people test before and didn't encounter this issue :(

@faux-grey haha thanks I love the original ror :D I mean the new one is cool too but i have a soft spot for 2d :D

@peterfiftyfour Chrome and Firefox. I'm not sure what it could be, maybe it's something with my Internet connection. I'll try to fix it if it's on my side, but thanks for making a game anyway!

Very interesting idea, the GUI is very nice.

It seems that the difficulty is too hard at the beggining. You should increase the speed of game step by step, to let the player understant the mechanic.

The background music is very pleasant.

Funny game!

@duck-reaction yeah the time actually loops regardless of when you join the game so it's a bit weird if you join mid way through then it's really hard. sorry hahah it was more of an experiment but I understand it's got some issues!

I think it could a little rest period at the beginning so you can figure out the mechanics, but other than that really cool game! Thank you for making it!

Wow, I love the art style of this game, it's harmonious! The sound effects are also cute.Didn't get the hang of it and kept falling in and trying to jump out of the water, and then I realized I could build a platform, and it was fun

@guinytime @slimmerburger okaaay I've changed the settings so the lava/water wont rise if you wanna try again it should be better now :) It should just count down from 800 and then in 5 seconds it will reset instead of 500/200.

Took some time to get the hang of things, but overall a pretty neat game! Digging the aesthetics <3

Good game, I'm waiting for the sequel

I really liked the art on this game! Was fun building up a large tower. A info/controls panel would be super helpful at the start though!

Funny one, love the concept, though it misses a bit of sign & feedback (not knowing how to place an item at first, and not knowing how to rotate it). But overall, great little game with a great mood! Good job

This is really clean! It takes a bit of time to figure out what you're actually supposed to do, I was fumbling with the controls a little bit, but once I got the hang of it, it was really cool! The graphics for this are simple, but feel really unique with the shader, and the audio definitely fits. Just needs a bit more direction to tell the player how to actually select the blocks and place them.

Liked it, didn't see any other player platforms, but still, looks interesting. Would agree with others that some kind of intro scene with tutorial/explanation would be nice

I really like the simplistic look and the idea of building platforms yourself behind it. The entire feeling. It´s pretty calm and relaxing. I like that you are just kinda thrown in there and find out what to do. Be it get high or far or collect fragments. Some more changes if you get higher or farther would be a nice addition i think.(At least i couldnt find any change) Maybe different collored fragments, sky or different platforms.
Controls are pretty good. Only downside might be the camera movement. Seeing what is underneath you when falling would be nice. But then again you need to know what you build the way it is now. All in all a really nice game

Got lots of potential for a full game (and would love to see it!), the art is simplistic yet effective. The controls are fun once you get used to it, maybe a mini tutorial would be useful. Overall really fun to play and cool sound effects

Simple concept but effective and good polish, well done :)

@wbertrand @tensoplast01 @kwiper @kukurammus @becky-rayner Thanks for playing! Looks like I should have put in more of a tutorial haha. I really ran out of time since the online component took a while to sort out although I think it's a bit redundant in a jam game since you don't get many people playing at the same time. Oh well xD
@tohmis Yeah I really wanted it to be more about exploring and finding people to talk to in random places and have more story so there was incentive to explore! Also the camera thing I noticed too but forgot to tweak it haha thanks for trying out the game!

This is quite a fun little game you got here. The gameplay is pretty fun, and I liked going around picking up shards. So, I have some things that I believe would improve the game.
First, more technical thing: You should make it so that the browser page isn't so huge. I had to use my moniter instead of my laptop to play it just because of how big it was, so that was annoying.
Second thing: This has already been mentioned, but you should have a tutorial.
Third thing: You should make camera controls. It was super unsatisfying to fall down and not be able to save yourself due to the camera controls.

Overall this was a really fun game and I enjoyed playing it.
My score was 31, which wasn't super high, but I think it was perfectly acceptable.

This is such a simple and fun concept. It's so obvious and great that I feel like I should have seen it before somewhere, but I don't think I actually have. The one thing that I really wanted was more of a sense of challenge and urgency. I assumed the lava would be rising beneath me as I built and climbed upward, so I was racing to get as high as I could as fast as I could, but then I fell down and realized I was in no danger the whole time. But this way is more of a chill experience and maybe that's what you were going for. I personally would like to have more of a risk of death and more of a drive to climb quickly, though! In any case, this is such a neat idea and the actual mechanics and aesthetics are really well-done. Cool stuff!!

Really nice game, I love the graphics!

What an immaculate vibe this game has. I love the visual aesthetic, music, and the SFX - they all work so well together! It's also a really fun idea, and building taller and taller is pretty fun. Great work here!

Like a visual and audio part of a game. Interesting idea

IMMEDIATELY caught my eyes with the dithering visuals, absolutely in love with them. I appreciate the audio as well as just the overall general vibe the game gave me. The gameplay itself is fun and I love being able to launch up, build a platform under me, or even launching sideways in the air a la rotating and placing a launcher reallllllly quickly under me. Overall a super nice entry that I'd love to see more of the like sometime!

Really good concept for a game ! I really enjoyed the idea, and the realisation is really nice ! Efficient gameplay, original idea, great visuals and music, non-QWERTY layout support... Congratulations !

This was a really fun game and it was very intuitive to play.

@energizedblast yesss dithering is so cool I love it!

@polymathld yeah it used to but then people kept dying at the very start (the timer is synced to the server so you can join when the lava is just about to rise and then it feels too fast) I think this would work better as just straight single player and have more exploration and all that good stuff!

Cool concept, sadly nobody had been playing when I played it so I was strictly solo. Maybe instead of a hard reset it would be better to have a limit on the total number of blocks, and make the oldest ones decay away? That way it stays fresh but the server won't melt ;)

Nice graphics decent music, I ran out of shinies to grab as I went up though. Shouldnt there be more shinies up high than down low?

Overall, neat idea, I liked it!

@3mpty yeah that was another option! There are heaps really far to the sides :)

nice one

Like the sound, art and vibe

Iloved the atmosphere of the game, the audio adds a lot to the experience and is quite a creative idea

It's a very well polished game. Audio is great, cool visuals, and a fun platformer! I enjoyed it a lot :D

It was pretty fun, with such a unique mechanic ! I like it :)

Fun and unique game:)

Very lovely color palette. I was thinking the water would rise up, but was pleasantly surprised I got to keep trying to climb even after I fell in.

The dithering art style caught my eye immediately, and I love the overall calm and relaxing vibe with the game. The music is very charming and adds a lot of life to the game that would otherwise not be there. This game is very effective in terms of mood. The gameplay is simple, but it works well and I had very little issue with it. The game does feel like it is a little directionless in terms of objectives, beyond collecting the crystals. Maybe it would be interesting if players in the server gained new abilities or tile types the more crystals they gathered? This would add incentive to finding the crystals and would give players more tools to further explore the little charming world you created, as well as add more incentive for cooperation between players as gathering crystals would benefit them both. Regardless of that, in it's current state, this is a very cute and charming experience that is a lot of fun to run around in for a few minutes. I liked it a lot.

I just love simple and neat concept and how it plays and looks. Didn't notice much gameplay changes on the way up, so there may be a place for improvements. Great job!

Nice game!

nice game! I like the audio and the graphic, the calm ambiance makes me want to keep playing

Very simple but pleasant game! I love the visuals, the colors, the diffuse effect. I kinda wish there was some birds or clouds flying by :) maybe i didn't get high enough? Those particles are a nice touch. It feels good to jump around and try to build as high as possible. I played with a laptop trackpad easily enough which is a bonus.

Good game, good job!

Very cool concept. I hope you finalize it and it will be playable!
I liked the visuals and the music. Not a bad hit on the theme!
