[A Hat on Time]

It is a really cool game.
I finished it and I liked how you implemented the mechanics all along the new levels.
There was some issue however that hampered the gameplay and found it frustrating.
I think you arealdy know it, but it's the grace period at the edge of any platform before jumping.
The hitbox of your character is very small, you don't know if it's on the first leg or second leg where you can jump. But I often had to jump while my whole body was on the platform because if I had 1 or 2 pixel at the edge, my character will fall.
This is very frustrating unfortunately and several times I wanted to stop playing. But the game itself made me go to the end :)
Despite this little issue, I enjoyed the artistic side of it, the gameplay mechanics with balloons (it's pretty fun), and the challenge.
Well done.

HI Krappy-Krapo!

Yeah, the character's hit detection can be a little tough to predict. It's based on the character's directional movement - the hit areas being detected are different depending on the direction of your movement - with more tweaking and a lot more computing per frame, I could get a tighter hitbox in the future. Anyway, I'm really glad that you still enjoyed your time with the game, and I appreciate the detailed feedback! :)

It is a great game. Lovely mechanic.
However I couldn't beat level 0 due to a horrible bug that freeze the game :(
Really sad that it hampers the game....

When you keep a 1-up at your mouse, and when you die. The 1-up is used and you restart the level and it freezes.
How can I see the level -1 ? Couldn't figure it out until this bug just made me stop playing ^^'

Hi there, thanks for letting me know. I will fix on monday. (edit: should be fixed now)

[Corrupted Space]

Superb game ! Really !
I loved the glitch at the last level... ;)

[Fade Out]

Nice little game. Finished it and well it felt good.

[Corruption]

This game is nice, and addictive. I felt frustrated however that controlling 67% of the terrain, and the AI just manipulating one block to win over in an instant. Quite not rewarding after all of this effort.
I wish it would be less punitive but it was interesting.

[Arrozoid]

Very nice littel game.
Although after the last level I saw a purple "target" and then after a blank level. Couldn't pass it. Is it a bug or something?

Well done.

[Sala]

Really interesting and really great work. Wish I could continue !

[ANTIDOTE city HALL #1]

Amazing story-telling little game. The sound is also amazingly well transcribed. You really feel the atmosphere and the mood of it. Very well done :)

Vonka responds:

Thank you, glad you appreciated :)

[In the shadows]

I had a lot of fun playing it actually.
There was some glitches on level 101 and level 09 at my knowledge that you can go through a platform, which was annoying when you try to finish the game and really undermine the gameplay.
Also some lag was seen on the first level with spikes which was unexpected.

The story, the sounds, the quality were great, you really made a lovely game. Well done.

mapedorr responds:

I'm glad you liked it. I just released a new version of it with all those bugs resolved. :D :D :D

[Prom GOblin]

I'm not sure if it was built this way but at times I couldn't just move, and I needed to click outside the game zone in order to "reinitialize" the control keys. I could only kiss / whisper while not being able to move. Freezes at times when restarting too (when you get caught).

Beside this, the graphics are very nice and it feels kind of refreshing little game. Well done for that.
