Dreaded drafts

Good looking game, and some interesting levels, even for a mechanic we've seen before.

But as other have said, the gameplay could use some tweaking. Some of the decisions I'm ok with (fixed jump height or floatiness), but the way it works with the physics can cause some issues. Sometimes I was stuck and couldn't move for no apparent reasons. I was obviously doing something that wasn't the solution, but I didn't know at the time, and being forced to restart the level because of a "bug" felt a little cheap. And the way the blocs sometimes fall or rotate meant you had to be really precise sometimes, even for apparently simple moves.

But the puzzle with the tower of block that can block your path if they fall was a really nice idea, and possible only with physics so I guess that's an acceptable trade-off.

It looks good and the sounds were also good. The only issues was controls, they felt too floaty and collisions sticky sometimes. This is bit annoying when dealing physics objects. Also when you jump, and fall to the forund, player hits the ground bit above, then falls bit more to actual ground level. You can only jump when you are at the ground level, so sometimes you can't jump immediatly when you want. The interpretation of theme wasn't that innotive, seen several with same kind of idea. Because this game is about drafts, maybe something about throwing a draft away? Drafts aren't finished products but something to explore the idea and to show what it could be. This really look polished and well made, just the game controls needs more attention, which you have plenty after jam :)

• I like the tiles!
• Please, never force players into fullscreen in a game jam

Like several mentioned, controls were lacky

• As stated, it feels floaty. jumps are slow, accelerations/decelerations are slow
• When you land, there is a little bounce that prevents you from jumping for like 1 second. That's unnecessary
• It was very frustrating not being able to control the height of the jump, as this is usually needed in any kind of platformer. As a result we don't feel like as much in control with the character as we wish we would.
• The physics were cool, but as Baku stated, not very cooperative. The level design seems to push you to use the physics, but because they're a bit unpredictable and hard to tame, it doesn't feel natural to use them.

Regarding level design, you said to Baku: "or maybe you weren't exactly doing what was supposed to be done, even if the solution you saw seemed logical,". That's usually an issue. I've also had this when people played some of my games. As developers, we're so focused on our own way to solving the levels and the way we intend them to be solved, that we sometimes don't see that our logic isn't necessarily "the right one". As a result, people get confused. It would be best to accomodate levels to perhaps welcome several different ways to solve. Unfortnately, this part necessits players to test the game to properly balance, which is often very difficult in a game jam where time is our greatest enemy. As you said, "you are the worse game tester of your game"!

Speaking of which, got stuck in a level where the only way I suppose I'm expected to win is to push 2 stacked green blocks on top of each others on the right to form a 3 stack. But whenever I try to jump on the platform above, it prevents me from jumping higher. I've tried different other ways, logics but it didn't seem to fit.

Design and theme wise, would have liked something a bit different (using your own corpse is a very common mechanic)

The game is very well polished nonetheless! Jeu plutôt mignon

Looks and sounds pretty good! Very well done on that part. The level design was pretty good too. The main mechanic of leaving a body behind after you die has been done to death before, but eh, clearly it must be a good mechanic if people make games like this all the time...

I thought the gameplay could use some improvement. The controls and physics are really slow and floaty, and there wasn't really enough friction. Made it kinda annoying to play, to be honest. I also ran into some issues where I knew exactly what I had to do to beat a level, but I just couldn't get the physics to cooperate, so I'd have to restart a few levels over and over again... :/

Hmmm. I didn't really like being stuck in the game window and not being able to exit out. It kind of felt a bit cliche to me as well. Seems like alot of people coming from somewhere else and making a singular account just to play this as well. That seems to take the fun out of the competition IMO, but i guess the more friends you have, the better. As far as actual gameplay, it wasn't bad. I'm just not a huge fan of platformers that don't offer alot of "juice" so to say.

Great game! Amazing Art! It kind of reminded me of Super Meat Boy but that was probably only because it was great art and you were trying to get your girlfriend. I absolutely loved it, however I was a little confused on the controls as it seems to be posted nowhere except R to Restart. Other than that the music was great and the puzzles were exemplary. I also checked out xerise and it seems like you guys are going to be going places. Good luck!

Amazing, the controls were a bit floaty indeed but it was nice. I think it would be better if you added some more sound effects but still, it was beautiful in general, and perfect for a 48 hours game (You should mention that in the description so people will know before judging). Keep going ! ♥

Really nice graphics, perfect sounds, nice gameplay... but not an innovative game. You re-branded an already existing game. In any case i would suggest to add more storytelling like "Agry Birds", good luck!

j'adore le jeu ♥ rien a dire MAGNIFIQUE bonne continuation

You created this in only 48 hours! Great work. The music is perfect for the game! amazing graphics, the note sticks are so cute _ .
House WhiteDLM approves.

Amazing game i really.enjoyed it congrats

so cool ♥_♥ great art and great game play GG bro

Very nice music, and cute graphics :)

Everything is well polished! Great job!

this is so original i really had a great time playing it, you guys did an amazing job! keep up the good work

i think for the small time they had this game is really really good i enjoyed playing it . the idea is just perfect and the design is great too <3 best of luck <3

for 48 hours i think it's a good job , wish you the best bro <3

Alright, I really enjoyed this game, I love the overall atmosphere made by the happy music and the cute art. The game play was enjoyable and puzzling. And while the game had a unoriginal theme, it was constructed beautifully

Nice art and puzzles and good use of the theme!

I must say, this concept is a bit unoriginal (there's another game using it called "Zero, Death!"), but its implementation is really good. As with another game called Moebius Well, I find this game's description and summary unexciting. Also, I think that there is a death state, so it doesn't really pass with the theme. Nevertheless, great work.

perfect <3 am in love with the game great job :o -

I love both the idea and execution. It's impressive how much love were you able to fit during 48 hours. Jumping is a little floaty and unresponsive for my liking. Pretty sure this would change in the update ;) 5/5 MASTAPEECE

This is a pretty good game. The graphics and sound effects go together well. The controls felt really floaty, but that was probably intended. I think it fits the theme well!
