The controls for Flappo are really smooth and quite fast! I like the variety of different moves they can do. It is a little hard to tell which way to go in the levels though. Good job!

Love the art! Unfortunately though I ran into an issue where I couldn't jump (after the dash part) so I couldn't get too far. Looks like very fun gameplay!

@donut-team Same issue here. But the game is pretty fun to play with! I love the idea of limited visibility which can be toggled to see different parts of the map, something that we wanted to implement in our game as well!

Really smooth and tight controls for such a short amount of time. Unfortunately, I too got stuck after the dash. Seems like it might be a timer issue because I could jump for a short while after the dash before getting stuck. But I really like the premise, and the animation was really nice - good job!

I enjoyed the time I had playing this game although it was short due to not being able to jump after falling off the platforms and dashing, the art is really nicely made and I love the animations that the game has, the only problem I had with it all was that it felt a little too zoomed in, and with the speed it hurt my head a bit because the map was following the player so fast I got a little bit of motion sickness but when I held E I was fine, the only problem was that the only way to zoom out is to hold E, it would be nice if you could just toggle it on and off when you press E.

@donut-team The main game mecanic is, that you have limited jumps and dashs (limeted Space).
Is that the reason why you got stuck or is there another problem?
You can see how many jumps you have left on the top left corner (arrow). And there is a Reset Button(R) to try again.

Thank you soo much for playing our little game! Im glad you had fun!

@congeesetador thank you for the feedback!
Ur totally right, in case we continue to develop the game this will be a change

The animation is amazing! The idea of litteraly "limited space" is very cool! The camera could be a bit smoother I think, otherwise the movements are great

Flappo's animation is really cute. The art and music are nice. But I couldn't jump on the cloud with the purple thing, maybe it's too hard for me.

Cute character! Sadly, I'm not good at jump games and couldn't finish.
I hope you can try our game and give us feedback! Thanks!(〃'▽'〃)❤

The graphics and animations are great, and it's a really nice use of the theme. Good job!

I love him! Finally home! Really strong platforming, in a really short time, honestly that's fantastic.

What bothers me is that sometimes I accidentally press the 'R' key instead of 'E'. It becomes frustrating when I do it for the third time. Rebinding the refresh action to a more distant key might help with this

I really like the slime animations in a classic platfform settings. I also appreciate the E key to switch camera, which balance the detail action and giving route managing information; we also make a platform game but only with the wide camera to stress on manage the route.

Nice game! I like the atmosphere and the animations. Found that I was trying to hold E a lot while moving at the beginning but got used to just stopping to look around first.

Its a cute look, very hard game though with the physics slide and limited jumps

love the momentum that I can build by S + A/D! I have to complained a little bit that the view is so limited (maybe thats also a "limited space"?) , and sometimes I know where to go by pressing z I have no idea HOW to get there lol. Anyway good work!
Sown4 Oct 2023, 05:47
nice game. The physics could be improved as the game feels kind of choppy.

The literal interpretation of Limited Space is cool! We've got a similar idea but our playercontrol is not as alick as yoursXD.But still managed to give more fuctions linked to the Space Bar.Appreciate your great efforts!

I beat the game, kinda ragey, was a bit hard to know where to land as the player travels very quickly but I liked all the mechanics introduced.
Magic_mike4 Oct 2023, 13:22
The litteral interpretation of the theme is good, but the camera control gave me headaches for some reason. I managed to beat the game, but i didn't feel like i was actually engaging with your core mechanics as when i failed a jump i just restarted so i would not be blocked in the further parts of the level. The art is brilliant, great animations

Cool game! It's awesome that you managed to include an intro cut-scene and a clear tutorial in 3 days! I did have a bug that frequently broke my ability to jump unless I reset. Bugs are inevitable though, especially for jams. At least I could reset to keep going! :D Good job!

Lovely art and animations. The dash felt pretty satisfying. It took me a few tries on the vine slide (?) to work out what I was meant to do. The intro cut out before I could finish reading it.

What a great Game, I love the animation and the game idea. Even though it sometimes feels kinda cluncy , I think it is a wonderful game.
