The platform drawing mechanic was a lot of fun to play with as well, although I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to take it. Maybe there could be a hint in-game?
Congrats on completing an awesome jam entry!
Also I figure out we had a bug on the deploy and you probably tested a very old version, my bad, sorry! I losted my mind somewhere between 1am & 3am :yum: :gun: !
Dont hesitate to try it again, it should be very challenging normaly even with the drawing function! :)
The crazy music and the artwork fit well together and are really good.
I also like the idea of drawing very well - even if I did not know what I'm doing.
Well done! Nice idea und nice game!
Great job!
Thanks for the reviews guys!
HOTFIX: a bug was making the player start at the last level, i push an hotfixs, dont hesitate to play the whole game and discover the story ! :)
@kristinamay : There is a maximum height of falling allowed, so i think thats what happened to you!
Criticisms/post-jam polish wishlist:
- Giant boulders falling from above are too hard to dodge (at east without 'pausing' using Space every second, but then the platformer section doesn't flow very well), I suggest either getting rid of them or zooming out so they're easier to see coming
- Currently, music stops when you hit space to paint, which is a shame and a bit jarring. I suggest making the music muffled or something instead
- It took me a bit to get used to Space being something other than jump, oops... Maybe an alternate keymapping?
- Add collectibles (perhaps that you get snippets of story with) so you have something to do while trying to avoid death. At one point I finally learned how to survive but I let myself die so I could move on with the plot
- Bug: Sometimes the paintbrush would stop responding until I reloaded the browser window
Great job again!
I love the look and feel of this game.
