I have actually not watched Prison Break so might have missed some nuances but I think I still got the gist of it.
Loved the music and sound effects but there were some crucial missing ones like for shooting. The music renditions were flawless with the off-tune pitch bends etc.
And of course the controls could be improved. Always a good idea to add separate jump button too (space) for people who do not prefer to jump with up. Platforming could be improved with more precise colliders and maybe even having jump buffering and coyote time. The game didn't really require too much precision on the jumping parts so not a big deal but still felt awkward sometimes. The cursor also kept disappearing on me which made aiming a bit difficult.
Accidentally found a bit of skip on the skateboarding section. You can actually drop down there early. Doesn't really save much time or make it easier by any stretch but still a functional skip. Well I guess it wouldn't be that fun to speedrun this game. 🤔
Awesome job! 👍
The controls are a bit wonky, I often fell to my death even though the jump should've still triggered on time. And the one-hit-death system gets tiresome pretty quick, so I would suggest to add a health system.
All that aside, this is definitely one of the stranger games in this jam, but it's cool to see how a solo dev managed to switch between multiple game mechanics in each level.
This was the most fun I've had out of any submission this year. The theme was somewhat... Absent... But the audiovisual components were beautiful, in true magicdweedoo fashion. The narrative had real drama and a twist befitting a sequel to Braid. Excellent entry, just the right length too.
Objectively.
Great job!
