This is awesome!! I love the incredibly unique vibe this game has. Movement is fluid as heck too - in order of the stages, I managed to get 9.36, 15.59, 17.47, 28.82, 31.65, and 77.40 :3
Awesome! I think you hold the WR in all rooms currently (not counting my runs, you still gotta beat mine in Castle haha), I'm glad you enjoyed it
- Awesome visual style and separation of mind world and acid world
- Great gameplay loop with short bite sized levels inside of a larger level.
- Cool ways of playing with the movement (Jump Pads, Sliding, Zipline)
- Awesome music
- Played in my browser great which is pretty cool (Firefox)
- Main issue I ran into was the jump pads seemed to need me to jump on them directly instead of just jumping when sliding over, which led to a softlock after a while where I couldn't carry enough momentum into the jump. If that were fixed I would totally pick this up on steam for a couple bucks, reminded me a bit of a more relaxed and movement based Post-void or something
- Some of the visuals were a little intense especially when combined with the gravity flip it could be kind of disorientating.
- Sometimes when leaving one of the minds I would kind of lose track of where I was facing / direction I was going and that would slow the pace of the game down in a way that didn't feel great.
Hey! Thanks for your feedback, I've been wondering how I should go about improving these aspects cause its a pretty common sentiment. If I continue this project, I have a few ideas which might make it better. Only time will tell! Thank you regardless :)
Very unique style, the music makes it exciting and the different jump mechanics are interesting. I like it.
I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for playing :)
Really good concept ! I love the speed run mindset of this game !
Hey thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed :)
Lots of fun! I love the art style and the gameplay was very smooth and fun, i just sometimes got lost after leaving the enemy mind but beside that very impressive!
(Question: is your hand on the game?)
That is my hand believe it or not! I took both photos and a video of my hand and cut it out. I then used it as a mask for a shader material, it was pretty funny haha
Awesome, I almost feel like my preexisting cs:surf knowledge got in the way
Hell yeah, that almost feels like a benefit tho. Ecesis CS:Surf when?
Really cool game, I love the style.
Thanks! :)
Incredible execution and concept! It was really fun, and I loved the stylized graphics! The website version of the game was quite laggy for some reason, but when I downloaded the gamefile it ran smoothly!
One feedback I have is the narrator's voice a bit too jarring for me and surprised me
I appreciate it! I spent a lot of time trying to optimize for WebGL specifically, but due to a shader I wrote for the palette swapping its a bit unoptimized. I'm new to shaders so its to be expected, but I hope it wasn't too bad haha. At some point I'll figure out how to make it better.
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
very cool concept >_>
