I did have a usability issue where I had a hard time reading the text on the ground. It just wasn't super visible to me. But overall, great job!
:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:
@turegrappa What browser are you using? Sometimes, clearing the cache and then reloading the page does the job.
@purpledartfrog Do you recall what kind of wall it was (runnable, basic, ...)? In any event, thank you for your feedback! :smile:
Levels are not too long et very differents :-)
@mrchip Thank you for your feedback! I probably should avoid going for FPS games in the future. This isn't the first time I have those kinds of issues. ^^'
@darthboseiju Thank you for your feedback! I recall encountering this bug. I probably should fix it for v1.0.2. ^^'
@purpledartfrog Oh! I see! I think I encountered this a couple times while working on the game. I believe it's possible to get unstuck pretty easily by walking backwards but I hope it didn't ruin you experience too much. ^^' Anyway, thank you for your help ! :slight_smile:
The jump sound reminded me of old school shooter games which was a nice throwback and I am always a sucker for caves so that drew me in awesome game!
It put me in action pretty quickly! I liked it! The game was a bit simple though, I mean it wasn't difficult enough. The mechanics are good and the music hectic. We are running, we don't know why, but we run, because of the music x)
Solid gameplay too!
Great entry overall!
The music was also good!
Good job!
- fullscreen in Firefox was practically unplayable as the mouse controls were pure chaos. Small version works well though
- after dying 3 times or so, everything turned way brighter than before
- the restart menu with the two buttons was glitchy, I usually had to hit the Restart button twice, sometimes one button would remain after restarting and only fade away later while playing
- the first 5-8 levels roughly worked OK, then weird things started to happen and I often won the level very unexpectedly
- which ultimately made me win the game apparently :D
Good work though
Thank you all for your feedback ! :smiley:
I'm actually surprised you encountered so many issues. This is the first I hear of some of those bugs. O.o
In any event, thank you for reporting all that! It's really helpful! :smiley:
I hope those bugs didn't ruin the game experience too much. ;)
@m0dsat Thank you for your feedback. I have a few ideas to make the controls better. 😉
- It's a bit too dark to anticipate the hazards (especially the pits) properly
- To be honest the sound effects (running speedboost, jump) were rather annoying and kind of worked against the mood, maybe tune them down a little
- wall jumping was very hard, I often missed the wall :D
Apart from that, I had fun, especially when I could chain-jump several platforms in a row, I like that feeling of flow. If you want to expand the game the flow is probably something you can explore even more.
A solid entry!
@daniikk1012 I actually haven't tried to finish the level that way. I'll have to try. :laughing: Thank you for the feedback!
@flogames Good job! I totally agree with your feedback. There are a couple of audio clips I made in a hurry to submit the game in time. So the audio clips don't all fit well together. =/
Other than that the game is amazing and I would really want to finish it but some time later :)
Ground crumbling sound is hilarious, music is great!
Thanks and good luck!
