I laughed so hard when I reached the end and it just looped again HAHAHAH I had to check your other games and this one is really cool and smart, I’m now trying to get a deathless run :D Is also nice to see the humbling origin of goldiblox infinite, you make really cool games ^^
Oh wow, thank you so much! I am so glad you are checking out my other stuff :)
dude theres a part where the dash cooldown just isnt enough ive tried so many times please fix it bc the other half of the game is very good, the art is not amazing but who needs art when the gameplay is this fun, i think it actually adds a certain charm to it. please fix it i want to play the full game
Hm, I have playtested pretty thoroughly and can get through the whole thing myself. Which section are you having trouble with?
it like a spike drop then dash through to a jump and dash in the oppoi\site directiong and from there im supposed to dash into the first direction but the cooldpown is too short
Ah, that is a hard section. But you should be able to get through it with just 2 dashes. The sequence is fall, dash right, fall, jump left, fall, dash right.
ohhh i've tried it but couldnt jump high enough to there but low enough to not hit the ceiling. i'll try it again today
btw your game is really awesome it reminds me of the hardest game and some of the old games i've used to play when i was ten
OH MY GOD I DID IT! I'VE REACHED THE END! (the real end...) AND THIS GAME IS AMAZING THE GAMEPLAY IS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE SEEN ON A PLATFORMER, THE SOUNDS ARE AWESOME AND THE GAME DESIGN IS JUST GREAT!
i really cant wait to see what games you'll make and im sure i'll enjoy every. single. one.
Oh wow, that is such high praise. Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Also, I will probably add a dash cooldown state to the color of the sprite at some point after the jam. That way it will be easier to tell when you have access to the dash again.
The simple mechanics but super precise gameplay was awesome, i really enjoyed this. would love to tell you my death count but you really shouldve included a death counter lol. the only other gripe i have is how cramped the control scheme is but otherwise this was a great challenging game!
Thanks so much for the feedback! I can probably work on making more options for the control scheme, and I am considering making the death counter a permanent piece of UX. But you can see your total deaths at the credits!
genuinely the most enjoyable game ive played in the jam so far. the graphics are ☹ but the platforming is great
Thanks so much! I am a programmer first, so the art is definitely a weakpoint that I need to focus on improving.
bro this game is so hard for me
i've died like 12 times with out passing the third pine
Haha, thanks! I have definitely tried to keep the difficulty pretty high, so no worries if you get stuck.
