About

We're a undergraduate student team from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. Some of our members are the first time experiencing game development. The game itself may not be very attractive. However, we've tried our best to perform this cute and tiny story to you.

Art and music resources are completely original! Tens of thousands of thanks to our art designer @Nanamaki

Theoretically our game supports Linux and macOS. However, it might require you to do some extra permission adjustment to run the game successfully. As for Mac user, basically you could try sudo chmod +x {path of app}/Contents/MacOS/Space\ Bar\ Porter. However, the solution may be different among different versions of OS.

If you encounter any kind of bugs, feel free to let us know!

Wish all of you enjoy this tiny space journey.


Changes

  • Fixed some bugs to enhance game experience, including
    • Heroine cannot be displayed properly when gravity reversed
    • Background music only played once
    • Sometimes after-game plot cannot be displayed properly
    • My bro broke up with me because the loud bg deafened his ears. So we made volume adjustment back
    • Make SFX great again (?)
    • Modified some details of map

Really well done! I had a lot of fun strategizing to find the simplest path to the goal, all three forms of movement were really well implemented. It would have been nice if the character was a bit easier to control, momentum seemed a bit off, and the ability spaces were sometimes hard to time when you were falling. Overall I had a lot of fun, really creative take on the theme!

I really like this idea. This can be a very good idea for a precision platformer!

Really fun game >///< loved it. The jump was a bit akward, you could easily get stuck on corners or hit your head ruining your jump. Also when you run out of spaces and dont solve the level you have to restart, which ruines the flow because of the loading screen

Very cool and creative idea for a platformer!
But I noticed a few issues: audio settings aren't working, the music is too loud by default(; If I try to "continue" without having a save the game asks me if I want start a new game. And if I click "yes" it doesn't do anything(.

Game is written funny, looks and sounds good too) But controls are a bit unresponsive and at some moment dash broke for me for some reason. Also loved the settings:)

Jumping felt a bit clunky, but I had a lot of fun! I like the limited numbers of spacebars, but having a way to quickly reset on command would've made the gameplay a bit less frustrating

It's crazy to see how few beople actually saw the title "limited space" litterally. We've also went with the same idea, but only made a normal jump and run game, yours is so much more advanced and has a good story line.

"...combine it with the other space's heart and go to the sanctuary to seal the Limit Core again..." - I loved the absurd humor in this game. The levels had a good balance of difficulty, but the theme fitness was a little streched. I liked the music, too bad there were no other sounds.

Congratulations for making it playable three platforms!

Thank you for all your kind comments above! We actually made a plenty of sound effect but unfortunatelly there were some bugs when processing final combinaion. We're planning to get it back soon!

Also, we'll continue to polish the player movements. Thank you for your patience *controlling* sleepy Bro XD

Tons of thanksssss to the commenters! I am a freshman of this university and a first time gam jammer in charge of the setting, scripts and sound/SFX embedding. Due to the lack of experience, I faced some probelms when integrating my fully functioning SFX version with my team members's using plasticSCM, so sorry for presenting the game without any SFX. However, such bug should be fixed very soon.

On the other hand I was actually quite worried that as written by a Chinese, my sense of humour won't be got by others, which doesn't seem to be a problem nowヾ(≧▽≦*)o.Thanks again for liking my scripts.Enjoy the game!!

EDIT - As pointed out by the dev, I completly missed what the game was about - EDIT

Didn't get very far, I kept getting stuck not being able to jump (the circle at the bottom left lighted up, but I couldn't jump). The inertia of the character felt a bit off for a platformer, but I didn't played enough to know if it was a real issue. Graphics were nice. The music was too loud by default.

It is a fun puzzle platformer. I like that there are more elements on the level than you actually need to beat it, really makes you think ahead. Narrative is funny and art is great. Overall, great job!

@fan Thanks, I totally missed that. Since there where a lot of bars available in the first level I didn't thought it was limited, and, well, I didn't saw the counter at the bottom right. Maybe it would have help to have the counter under the character or something like that.

Very impressive work! I had a fun time taking sleepy otaku along. For some reason certain abilities were not working for me. In the 2nd stage, the green boxes weren't working so couldn't unfortunately finish the game. Music and art was amazing :D
hidden61ade
06. Oct 2023 · 08:06 UTC
@gamester1128 Hi, scripter here! Suppose that the problem you face is the green/yellow box near the finish line doesn't respond to your input which is totally possible for the reasons follow: 1, you have run out of the space bar available! on the bottom right corner we have a counter that shows you how many space bar remains for you to use. 2, for the dash function, we set a limit of its max distance so it's not possible to dash too long. A shadow of the protagnist will be shown in the direction that you want to dash once the distance is within reach and there's no barrier at the destination. Once the shadow is displayed, that means you are able to dash! Feel free to try again(if you run out of sapce bars, click the upper right corner and you shall see a restart button to restart the level.) and thanks for playing our game!
fan
06. Oct 2023 · 08:07 UTC
@gamester1128 Thanks for playing!! Not working is may because we have limited numbers of space bar, the space bar count is displayed in the lower right corner. And we do not have "green boxes", there are only three areas: red, yellow and blue. If you still have problem, you can try the latest version of Windows version. Hope you enjoy the game!!!

Bro, the plot and characters are genuinely fun to experience. The cover art is amazing and the pixel art is pretty good too! The gameplay mechanics are certainly tired, but the specific areas you can perform them in is a nice twist! I enjoyed the plot and the fact that you were able to resist making Jumpo a horrible caricature of the real nightmare. Great job!

Hell yeah, this is what I'm talking about! Love the way you're using the theme here, limiting something that isn't literally space.

It could use a bit of tweaking - some of the zones are very precise and you have to fiddle with the character to get in the right spot - but overall you've got a really solid concept here. I love the art and the characters. Really well done!

(As an aside - Bro using that much kaomoji in regular speech makes her come off as absolutely unhinged. This is not a complaint.)

Cool platformer entry with impressive graphic and music!

Nice idea to limit the "space" button, as a very unique interpretation of the theme!

Deserve my 5/5 as a platformer fan!

弱弱的吐槽几句:1有些地面颜色不一样的地方还以为有坑x 2音效存在感稍有点低(不是音量,是说辨识度) 3有时会按键失灵,即使进出几次操作区域也不会恢复,得死掉重开 4“限制能力使用位置”的设定,一定程度上可以说是把过关思路摆到玩家面前了,“解谜”的感觉少了很多 (←偷偷地用中文把美术、音乐、程序、策划通通拷打一遍 XD)
hidden61ade
07. Oct 2023 · 14:31 UTC
@xlores-liang (我就说写双语介绍界面能炸出来国人,哈哈!)音效这边原本是要用wwise搞个随机容器但是版本控制用不了只好作罢,按键失灵可能是极小概率bug(?)也有可能是空格键使用次数用完(标在右下角)。第四点我们在brainstorm的时候确实有想到,所以其实有一些设置了的使用位置是干扰项,或者说通过不同的路径的组合鼓励玩家探索出次数最少的解法(说到这里想到没能实现的通关得分系统T_T)Anyway!感谢你玩我们的游戏!

07. Oct 2023 · 20:29 UTC
Great game! loved how each level had a lot of different potential options but only one (or maybe more than one??) worked, so it was up to player to figure out the correct sequence of moves! great puzzle platformer. The only thing that tripped me up was the game physics of the character, it felt like you gained momentum kind of strangely, which made jumps that at first glanced seemed impossible possible, so i got kind of stuck on a level haha
LDJam user 206001
08. Oct 2023 · 07:15 UTC
I thought it was fantastic, but if I didn't do something wrong, in some parts in the second phase, at certain times the space didn't work when it should have. In fact, when I reached the end of the second level, the teleportation didn't work, neither the one below nor the one on the ceiling. But it must be something here, as others have passed. As for the game, it's fantastic, brilliant. But it got off topic a little I think. Although it's perfect.
Fahim Faysal
08. Oct 2023 · 07:19 UTC
This is a cool take on the theme. Limited spaces where you can press space for a limited amount of time.
The puzzles are simple but enjoyable.
My only complaint is that the character can get stuck on ledge corners sometimes. But it's understandable that it might have been a low priority bug for a game jam game.
The art is cute and story is quite funny. Overall a very fun entry.

08. Oct 2023 · 07:36 UTC
@lincolnsalles Thanks for playing and your feedback! You mentioned when you reached the end of the second level the space didn't work, so I am wondering whether you had noticed that we limit the amout of time of space bar usage. The space bars remained will be displayed at the bottom right of the screen. And that is the tricky thing we do to catch the topic lol. Hope this reply can help you and you may try some later levels if you want:).

Very cute game. The puzzle weren't frustrating and you can figure them out just by looking at the level, which is nice. The caracter does feels a little bit too "floaty" for me though, but it's manageable.

Keep up the good work :smile:

08. Oct 2023 · 13:50 UTC
This was actually a really good game! Visuals could use some polish, but gameplay is solid! I really like this type of puzzle platformer. It feels good to try to solve the problem, and it's challenging but at the same time it's not frustrating at all. Well done! So core gameplay is there, and dialogues were good enough to give purpose to the story. What's left is some polish and juice. For example more feedback on the spacebar counter (at first i didn't understand the spacebars were limited). The way the dash mechanic worked at first was a bit confusing. It was more like a teleport than a dash.

Overall, really solid entry, that is actually really fun to play! Also the unique take on the theme was very smart!

very nice game and surprisingly original. the portals add a surprising playfulness to it and I enjoy the way the levels are designed.

the only thing that bothers me is that it is sometimes difficult to find your way around and find an exit that is not very visible

but I really enjoy the music and graphics and the lore of the game is very funny

Great game with fantastic level design, music, arts and sound effect! The team even wrote a good story in 72h. It is hard to believe that this game is a gamejam submission. With some polishing to tutorial level and special effects, extend the story line, this game even have the potential to publish on steam! Good work!

Neat concept with fairly good level design, nothing too hard and nothing too easy which was nice.

Protagonist is cute and I pretty much skipped through all the dialogue as it seemed to have no relevance to the gameplay.

Theres loads of art on each level which is really cool, a nice vibe and theme throughout all the levels really elevated the game.

A few too many pixel perfect jumps/teleports for my liking, I think most of them weren't really intended to be hard so I think the best way to iron out those clunky parts of the level design would be to playtest more, but this is a nitpick.

Great work, I enjoyed it :)

已经通关啦

游戏画面很完善,音效很完整,第一关的引导思路也做的相当不错,不会有那种一上来不知道干什么的感觉。

主角可爱!本来以为是平台跳跃,结果其实是解谜要素多于平台跳跃吗...不过关卡设置也相当有意思!

一点小建议是把右下角的空格键剩余次数做明显一点(包括每次用空格的时候加一点特效提示,我在第二关跑了很久才发现空格键有使用限制)

以及方块边角上的圆角似乎在物理引擎里也是当作圆角看的?虽然是小细节,但是碰撞箱设置成尖角会更好(x
