After the deadline of the Ludum Dare jam, we started to work on some extra levels, and some bugfixes, here you can see some of the funniest bugs that we had. The new version can now be played since the ratings are in. you can play the game here. https://cptfinn.itch.io/untitled-phoenix-game

No jumping on moving platforms

Few hours before deadline, we realized that on a few platforms, our little phoenix couldn't jump. This was a fairly by problem since, a lot of our levels were build using moving platforms, we ended up having to remove all moving platforms that weren't important, to make sure that any player could finish the game. The bug came from us having written our own simple platformer physics for the player and the platforms, and that the call order for the platform and player messing up, and making the player think that it was still on the ground after jumping.

Flying with egg (That's not a bug that's a feature)

We realized during the jam that if we threw the egg, then we could grab it in air, while the phoenix would start using the walking animation, we didn't remove this, because we thought it was funny and actually liked the gameplay that came from it. Our little friend now has an animation for flying with the egg, and in the new levels we have experimented more with this.

The future

We have found it very interesting, to work on the game and plan to keep experimenting with the mechanics. If you want to see where the game goes then you can follow us on twitter or itc.io
