I abandoned the game because of the spheres. I couldn't manage to get them to there slot :(
The piano puzzle is also a great idea but waaaaaay too long. I managed to have like 6 notes in a row, and it wasn't done yet !
I would love to see a more polished / balanced and a little bit easier version of this game, which is already really cool.
Small things I noticed:
- The music duplicates after a few minutes of gameplay
We kept the jump system that could launch you into orbit because we thought it was fun and it can be usefull to move quickly across the planet (or catching the fox).
^ I got stuck here in permanent falling about 3/4 through my play, unfortunately.
Good job on a fairly polished 3D platformer, must have been a lot of work! I would've loved to not have to install a C++ dependency and reboot my computer before being able to play, but I went through that hassle anyway because I was curious enough to try this one out. The art style is pretty cool, everything in the environment feels pretty cohesive except for the mushroom house and the piano. If there were mushrooms around the planet, it would have been a touch more immersive and made sense why it could be there. I was really bummed that the piano didn't seem to function properly, because I thought it was a great little puzzle. I'd also recommend not putting something with a door within reach if the player can't interact with it, but I understand the desire to add more scenery and decoration to an already somewhat-barren planet. The compounding music loops (which I know you're already aware of) became increasingly distracting and took a lot of fun out of the experience, not to mention making the music puzzle nearly impossible as time went on. Still, there's a bucket of love poured into this so I encourage you to keep that up whether you update this game or move on to the next one.
I think this game needs a little more polish on its mechanics. Sometimes it's a little tricky.
Anyway, it's a very impressive game for a 3 days jam time.
Congrats!
A small note note on game feel, when platforming on flat blocks, you can have gravity change to face down instead of radially towards the planet. Then change it back when the player runs back to the planet's surface.
Really awesome game!
Unfortunatelly i couldn't finish because of bugs but the game reminded me the Little Prince so i really enjoyed)))
Almost finished it though. Good job!
