whoa so impressive. i find the controls a little floaty, especially when youre tyring to land on these tight platforms. i couldnt finish it on a laptop and gave up around when you + Show Spoiler +shoot the platforms to spin them around
1) Yea I thought everything looked good and I had no problems seeing anything.
2) Compared to other games, the gravity seems strong. But it's not bad, just sometimes it makes me underestimate how hard I'm going to need to jump. The worst part for me was the deceleration. Minor movements to adjust still had big deceleration, making it difficult to maneuver yourself on some platforms. When I landed and I'm sliding towards to edge, it's very difficult to time pressing back the other way, because if you do this after the deceleration has finished you send the character off the other end. Maybe it's the laptop keyboard though, not sure. I'll play it when I have a real keyboard again.
3) Seemed hard. Compared to the normal game I play it seemed very hard. I don't think it's too hard, just it's a hard game.
4) Um, sounds like I didn't get far enough to experience this... now I feel like I need to play more lol brb.

Really awesome:
But please:
- a cute theme + some song effects
- Remap keys
:p

hahah chill, we surprisingly ALSO tried it on a laptop and it felt the EXACT same way you described. I'm curious what your experience is with a mouse + computer. We found that, counterintuitively, it was much easier movement wise when you had the mouse as well.
|
maybe a small amount of cooldown on the gun would be better? it's really easy to just shoot the gun down as fast as you can and hover through most of the level
|
weee beat it its pretty fun
|
btw i think this is a bug but when some of the blocks are verticle and the character's body touches the block you can just sort of jump infinitely while touching the block. its hard to explain
|
you can bug the gun and shoot yourself really far by spam clicking, sometimes like a ball bounces off or something and you go miles. And it's a bit too easy  . It's really good though, and fun.
|
Done...it is awesome Sean. First i wasn't too good with the gun, but then i founf out that you can do all kind of cool stuff with it like almost flying a run so fast. Great game, unfortunately short
|
Sometimes when I do a gun jump it makes me jump ridiculously high and I skip entire sections. Still really nice. I'd like to see more levels, it's super fun.

fun to play. The background/foreground thing is a little problematic, my attention got drawn between the two a lot. Maybe it was just my pc, but it seemed to be moving around 12-15 fps which made things difficult when I was trying to string a number of inputs together. (i.e. move, jump, fire, fire, move). The physics are nice though and the gameplay itself is fun.

beat it on the laptop, took FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREVER though, got kinda mad at timess.

I had a really different experience than chill.
1) I think the character is a little too difficult to see. Probably a combination of small/thin and because he's all black so he blends into some of the background.
2)Gravity seemed all right to me. I guess I sort of agree in that the jumping felt "weird". I think it has to do with the jumping animation rather than the height. Weird arm flailing.
3)Really easy. The "tau jumping" was really intuitive for me from playing Half-life/Adrenaline Gamer. I had to restart a couple times. The reason for that was because I'd click out of the window by accident and when I clicked back on it, it'd shoot the gun.
Also, I just tried the hovering technique someone was talking about and it is sort of silly. You should probably add a cooldown to the gun.
Edit: Just ran through it again but this time in full screen. Would be cool if the saved points would get activated if you go above them as well as through them. The character model is easier to see in full screen but it's still black and blends in with the platforms. Takes away from the nice visuals because of it. There is also some wierd glow from his visor that gets reflected on the platforms.

Ah I gave up on beating it with a laptop... Very nice gameplay though. A little sharper controls and some tweaking on the graphics colours and it'll be a truly epic game.

could you try to explain it a little bit more w/ a SS? This sort of mass user testing is SUPER useful for me because you can find way more glitches than I can. If it's really problematic, then it's definitely something I need to change! :D

The game was really fun, I thought it was just going to be a platformer with jumping alone but the gun made it so much more enjoyable to play!
Played it on a desktop and I think it was a pretty easy because you can spam the gun but that was also a fun part.
|
Yeah really cool game, the rocket jump style was really fun although it allowed me too breeze thrue some areas, using it as a jetpack or runing strate into crates launchers using the gun to boost my speed .
time attack would be so cool !

Yea I get what he is saying. I thought that right away too. So like the place where there is a rocket jump stair and you rocket jump and as you approach over ledge and your jump peaks you slide against the ledge and you seem to prolong the jump (gravity seems to go away for a second) and keep going higher.
actually the spot i'm talking about is right after the SS i posted above.
also, it might have something to do with the time/angle you blast the rocket after jumping. Since im used to quake I wanted to jump and shoot the same time but this doesn't seem to work very well.
edit- yea Seems that if you angle it about man's length behind him tap jump, and tap shoot right after so that you are aiming your body for the corner of the ledge (while holding jump) you will get a super jump. recreated it like 1/15 tries
also, I found this where you can keep jumping off rockets while holding up and shoot
You can navigate the whole level without even touching the ground or movement keys by spamming rocket jumps. Every once in a while one of the rockets (has to do something with explosion angle no doubt) you will get a super duper jump.
Maybe it works a bit like samus's morph ball bomb jumps?
here is me wall rocket jumping all the way up the wall to somewhere I shouldn't be (right after the part where it teach you how to long jump)
also you can super run if you keep spamming rockets right behind your feet as you hold left or right
