Stuck Until Discovered by newbieDev

[raw]
made by newbieDev for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

Gameplay 1.PNG

You are late for work but you're stuck running around in a loop because you forgot that your office was moved to another part of the city. Luckily, someone left you some clues to help you find the end of this endless loop and move on. You also have to dodge the blue boxes (supposed to be cars but had no time to finish).

Jump = Space Down arrow = confirm the end of the loop

Currently only has two levels, not much UI! If you lose, the game will keep looping as well so you have to refresh the browser to play again! We are our proud of our creation and I hope you are able to enjoy some part of the game!

i like the music and the graphics
the jumping is kind of slow/moon like, considering you are in a hurry to get to work

The graphics and music in this game are really well done. Jumping is little off but overall really nicely done!

Good job there.
Quite simple game and liked the visuals, the jump, though is reeealy floaty and unstable.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll have to make an updated jump to make it less floaty and more urgent haha!

It was not registering my deaths, the game would just keep going with me invisible. Anyway, nice graphics and music. I did not have the patience to finish the game though.

The music and visuals is funny and good. But I don't totally understand the gameplay idea. I do understand the idea with the jumping over the box, but I do not understand the down key to "confirm the end of the loop". And the jumping mechanic don't always workers, and I did not see anyway to restart the game when you run into the box.

I do agree, it seems that the game is a bit confusing.. thanks for the feedback. We needed more time to implement clues! Thanks for playing!!

I had some problem with the jump now and then for the rest it is a fun runner idea. Also fun upbeat music even if it was(seemed) a sort track

Nice character animation.
The jump is too slow, make it fast it will be more fun. Also add a gameover screen with a restart button.

Good job !

Haha, I liked the game. Its simple and does its job. Its also very frustrating, which is cool in a way. I had a lot of issues with the first jump lol. Thanks for sharing.
I've uploaded a game aswell, check it out!

Great job on this! Love the artwork. It took me a second to find the clues, but they were a nice surprise and paying attention to them added to the difficulty.

The visuals and especially the music really immerses the player and keeps me wanting to play the game more. Like others have mentioned, I do think the jump needs a lot of work considering we are a person running late for work, but aside from that, great work!

Charming graphics and fitting music. This game needs a reset button or auto reset once the player runs into a car.

Nice idea, you have the beginnings of a game, it just needs to be fleshed out more. The visuals are very appealing and the audio is great, the objective wasn't very clear, I ran around the loop about 10 times before I realised I kept going past the end haha.

When I click left button, my dude disappears, I play web-version on windows, but at all it looks so light and funny. Love games like this

Like @funemaker ... Space didn't seem to work for me either

Im kinda confused, space doesnt work.

Sorry guys, I think the space bar issue relates to not clicking on the play area before you start.. I have reproduced the issue and just press on the play area screen with your mouse and start pressing space. Try that!! Thank you for all the feedback!! We will definitely take all this in and update it when we can!!

I had no troubles, it all worked for me, but I don't think I found the end of the loop. I tried about 10 times. What am I missing?

Good stuff :8ball:

@oddballdave the first loop is between the 4th tree and the building after it haha! The clues are kind of hidden in the background and they're hard to see.. thank you so much for playing!

Graphic and music is great. But seems I met a bug that when I run into the box.

The graphics and music are good, however I didn't really get the idea of the game. Furthermore, sometimes the player disappears from the screen and appears again after some time.
Nevertheless, it was fun.

I really like the artwork and music. I think the jump could do with a little fine-tuning as it feels a bit floaty at the moment. It may also be worth moving the first box a bit further away from the start point so the player has an opportunity to hit jump a couple of times and get a feel for the movement. I like the idea of providing clues to the exit point, and that puzzle element may be worth playing with if you keep working on this idea.
