In Peak, you control a dimensional rift, or "peek," connecting two worlds. Your goal is to help Scout, a lone child explorer, ascend the side of a mountain by transporting him between the two worlds.
Interesting concept. One thing that would have made it less awkward is if the lines were clamped to not go beyond the edges of the screens I found myself leaving the A/S line way behind.
Beautiful music, very relaxing to play. I forgot that I could make him stop for a while, and that made the game very difficult ;) After that, I was doing a bit better, but it still felt awkward at times. Also, if you stop during a jump you fall to your death! I guess that makes sense, altho I expected it to work more like a pause or time freeze.
I really like the concept and the mood of the game. Good work!
I had a few issues with falling through the ground which was visible, but other than that I like the game a lot. I found the AS/KL control scheme to be surprisingly intuitive. Very nice job.
Thanks for all of the feedback, everyone. This was our first Ludum Dare. During the development, we were recognizing many of the problems that are being addressed here: the lines going beyond the bounds of the screen, Scout not keeping his momentum when paused in midair, etc. However, I'm glad that everyone likes the mechanic of manipulating the dimensional rift.
I really like this game, cool concept. It was a little buggy, sometimes the player fell through the floor, but I am sure you know that. For your first ludum dare, this is a fantastic entry.
Awesome entry! I think the only thing it needs is some polish on the difficulty curve. It starts off as being VERY difficult. Graphics, sound, mood, all do the job, but it is the mechanic and the team that truly make this game great.
Once I fully understood the stop feature, (that it prevents the scout from falling down) it got a lot easier. Nice game and the music was really calming.
Nice job, guys! I really like the mood of the game and the soothing color palette + music. Your game is HARD but it's truly fun once you get the hang of it. Your take on the theme was perfect! Looking forward to see what else you make.
Very interesting concept and potential features to add. But its a pity that you didn't have enough time or whatever to create a real personal atmosphere and good graphics.
