Really nice minimalistic art and sound that blend really well too. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'd like for there to be an automatic checkpoint on each screen. Having to go through puzzles you already solved is tedious. I got to the one where you're on a high cliff with a wall of spikes on it before giving up.

The graphics remind me of my old Nokia phone :D\r<br\/>It took me a while to find out, that you had to jump and press down at the same time to shoot down. Probably because I used W to jump at first, which does not seem to work with pressing down at the same time.

The controls were very smooth, I liked the minimalist, old-school graphics style and the tonal audio\/SFX. I also enjoyed the gameplay mechanics immensely. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>However, as an individual who is notoriously bad at platformers in general, ending up back at the beginning every time I failed a jump was intensely frustrating, and caused me to stop playing even though I wanted to continue with the levels.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>For a game with mechanics such as this, you really want to make sure that the player, at minimum, ends up back at the beginning of a new &quot;section&quot; of puzzle\/platforming, and not farther back than what they've already completed. It can make things tedious and wear things rather thin, and you want to make sure that the game doesn't get stale. You want to make sure the player is either a) experiencing something new or b) overcoming an obstacle they haven't mastered yet, in order to keep things moving.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Other than that, this was solid. :) Good job!"}],"images":["ld32\/35714-2b0e4b47355cb9f6bf085dfc53a6da89.jpg","ld32\/35714-9fcf70937d771b4972025358db451770.jpg","ld32\/35714-1c343212be3e70b560eb0069bbcfb07d.jpg","ld32\/35714-7ea79f7adb00490cfc3dec1cdb7b975e.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/cjkimberlin.com\/games\/LD32\/BeepBoop.html","text":"Unity Web Player"},{"url":"http:\/\/cjkimberlin.com\/games\/LD32\/WebGL\/index.html","text":"WebGL (Unstable)"},{"url":"http:\/\/cjkimberlin.com\/games\/LD32\/BeepBoop-Win.zip","text":"Windows (.zip)"},{"url":"http:\/\/cjkimberlin.com\/games\/LD32\/BeepBoop-Mac.zip","text":"OSX (.zip)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"10563","g_author":"35714","g_event":"LD32","g_eventkey":"27","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"10597","g_title":"Beep Boop","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"21","g_commentcount":"48","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/35714-shot0-1429555703.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/35714-shot1-1429555703.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/35714-shot2-1429555703.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/35714-shot3-1429555703.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Both keyboard\/mouse and XBOX Controllers are supported :)\r\n\r\nWell mostly.
