"Jump around to turn on the sun, sounds fun doesn't it?'
Sunless is a puzzle-platformer about small planets with minimalistic and captivating graphics, the game manages to maintain itself fun by using simple puzzle mechanics and presenting itself in 3 completely different levels :) This is our first time participating in a Jam and it was blast! Thank you all for tunning by and making this even more memorable for us! :)
That was a brilliantly designed game! very well done. The art style worked seamlessly with the level design, I could instantly tell as a player what needed to be done once I figured out how everything worked. Only negative was the collision loop between cave position changers. Thanks for making this.
I really like the Minimalistic graphic style. Making a platformer during the jams is something I don't do. Because me myself is a very bad level designer. You did a well job for that. Good luck.
Nice simplistic game. I liked the puzzles and the variety of powerups and enemy types. Instructions would have been useful at the start, I kind of had to figure out through trial and error and it took me a while to figure out that I could jump on enemies to kill them, or even that I was trying to kill enemies. Like the art style!
Excellent, loved the visual style and fun level design, finished all three levels. There was one place where the platform was the same (at least to my eyes) colour as the background which took me a bit to figure out it was there. Nice fitting music and sfx also, great job.
I loved this game! From the simple yet innovative game/level design, to the basic shapes/base colors artstyle, and music! "It has what it has, and what it has, it has it good" haha
My favourite part was the ability diamonds, limiting basic abilities like jumping higher or attacking to specific locations, locations designed/chosen to be part of the level design! Really great stuff, although seemingly simplistic! This kind of thinking should be in every game, period!!
The art is simple and cute (love that look the character gives you when standing still), the colors are good, the song loop works and has interesting instrumentation and potential...
I was impressed by this game, and I would love to see this concept developed in the future! Congratulations!
nice platformer with great art style, i liked how each level introduces a new mechanic, although you mostly have to die first to find out you need to shoot some, while you can jump on others. very good first entry..contratulations!
Nicely executed puzzle platformer. No controls info, but I figured that out quickly enough. ;) Alas I don't usually have enough patience to repeat levels too many times when I fail. 'savepoints' could alleviate that a bit.
The control was fluent and the art is super cute but as @joror said, a long level with no checkpoint got me to rage quit very early in the game. But the art is worth mentioning once again. Very Nice Arts. Good Luck!
Cute little platformer. Finished all three levels. Took me a little bit before I realised I had to kill all the things to proceed :)
I think the only thing that annoyed me little was accidentally going through the doors when I didn't want to, and having to remember to jump over them. Especially on the last level when on a timer :) Maybe a button (like up for instance) to go through doors?
I was going to say something abut the doors, but it seems everybody has said it already :p.
It was more fun than expected. The visual were very cute and I loved the extra details, like your character looking at you when you are not moving (n_n).
I also liked how you "discover stuff", specially when you find out what the diamonds do and then try to find out everything.
Oddly enough, the music makes the game creepier than I expected. It was odd, but interesting, makes you think there is more to it than what you are looking at, story-wise.
I have to say, A+ all around. The art is eye-catching and calming, the gameplay/controls are fluid and easy to learn. Congrats on such a polished game in such a short amount of time, I enjoyed playing and love the style!

i'll try to improve that cave collision later :)

Not bad for a first jam! Keep up the good work!
