I couldn't manage to control the movement at the beginning, but than I got used to this movement.
Such an interesting idea with random generation of starting position) It adds a motivation to play more)
Also the music is good
1) The environment was kinda dark to see
2) This game is very addictive :)
Besides these problems it was a very fun game Cheers !!
I wish the movement isn't that slippery, and sometimes it's difficult to see the hole on the floor. If not because of the movement, I would love to challenge myself to get to many levels as possible.
That procedurally generated map is also great, it feels fresh even though I restarted from level 1. But, sometimes I got a level that is pretty difficult to pass (the floor is too high to reach).
But some things I found very frustrating:
- can't see the flag (add an arrow showing the direction or make the flag visible through walls)
- too many holes in the map (maybe different level generation algorithm or make vertical and horizontal surfaces of different colors so you can see where the holes are)
The environment is nice, and the FPS gameplay is quite good and polished.
It was too difficult a game for me because of the speed and the slippage.
It feels more like a first-person racing game to me rather than a parkour feels.
Still a great game, loved the physics by the way, even if it seems many had trouble with it.
It's really awesome to have the pressure to get to the flag while trying to find weapons, additionnal time, more lives. It would be nice to be able to plan the route a little bit, but it might be too overpowered.
Also ... why are red triangle so angry against you ?? They even ambush you out of nowhere!
Great entry, good job!
The mood and the music were far more compelling than you would expect for the genre. Well done!
➕ many levels
➖ moving too fast
➖complicated
➖ the ability to extend the time breaks the concept a bit
