amazing game. absolutely love the movement system.

I love Your Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The graphics are so good! Please tell me how you make the sprites!!!!!! ......... There is a bug 🙁 : > Once I threw the spear on he spikes and I landed on the spear so the room black bars came down but I was able to move upright and wasn't dead and the camera wasn't working🙁.

Fun little game and cool concept! :D

just a few ideas:

• I think it would really help to have "W" as jump maybe this makes it to easy?)
• it would be nice if the R key took you back to the last checkpoint instead of restarting the game
• maybe a sign post as a very basic tutorial and for the full screen option

Really nice game! I included it in my GM48: One Tool, Many Uses compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/xLRwFoQlSuM

Absolutely loved it! The art style, the sound effects and music, those stars were so damn cute!

Your use of the theme is brilliant, the controls are pretty tricky to get the hang of, and real sweat-inducing when you're edging your way up and around some of the ceiling areas, I couldn't manage the wall jumping on the stone but that might be because of my lack of pro-mouse skills whilst using the mouse on my sofa.

You've made a genuinely fun game, I would play a full version of this!

Got all stars and coins!

Pretty cool visually, and fun to move through!

Some parts were very tricky, but doable. From the level design, I assume you are supposed to be able to bounce of black walls? Cause I tried many times but never succeeded. One mandatory trick to handle was the spear bump on spikes, which is pretty tricky (notably because of how you have to be careful where your mouse is) A few bugs, found 3 so far:

• Not a meaningful bug, but often when dying on spikes, you get the sound to repeat itself until you get revived.
• I once was trying to climb up a wall and all of a sudden I had weird collision going on, then I got teleported at the bottom of the wall climb (wasn't able to reproduce it, so I don't know what causes it)
• A funny bug I was sadly unable to reproduce. Once died on spikes and was still in the "death state" as in, the character was upside down and I could bounce a few times during that state. Eventually after about 5 jumps, the character accepted to die.

Creepy face out of ten.

The art was actually pretty good, though. I liked the star in particular. She does lose her arm Rayman-style when you hold the jab button in...

I had difficulty figuring out how to get around the level with the spear. This was mostly because of not reading the description and not understanding how to "dig" into the walls or pogo on the spikes, but I enjoyed jumping off the spear.

I liked the sound design! And you did a good job with this jam's theme. I kind of wish there was something for getting everything, but alas...forty-eight hours.

The climbing is such a cool mechanic. It can be a bit finicky, but it's really neat and takes some skill, so it feels a bit more rewarding to get where you're headed. This is just all really nice and nicely put together. Awesome job!

Sometime you get teleported to nearest ground and death often glitches and kill you twice? Dispite that this is a great game, with a awesome ideia, good controls and visual , I just don't really like the music.

I would have liked to jump with up instead of ctrl, which I found a little wierd, so I used the WASD setup and then I pressed R by accident when I was at 10+ stars and now I'm sad because that resets the whole level :(

Gameplay was a lot of fun, and the art and sound was also very good. There are some weird glitches and the level design isn't crazy, but the fact that it's an open level you can explore anyway you like with multiple path makes up for it.

Make this a full game.

My biggest issues were some sound issues at death. Maybe a skip for the star cutscene thing. 9/10 as a jam game, and it could pretty easily be a 10 if there weren't

I got every coin and star and loved it. I found out that spamming the spear against a wall makes some glitchy results like teleporting.

Had fun with this one, but was frustrated at first because I didn't realize till I almost got everything that you can throw the spear so that it gets stuck on the ground and hop off of it (my fault for not reading the description first, haha). On the other hand, my tools being limited meant I found a lot bugs/features like you can actually bounce up the metal walls by striking straight downwards, and you can go all the way to a top of a wall instantly if you strike exactly downwards.

Controls-wise, I want to let go of the mouse button and then press jump to jump, but that just makes me fall, even after getting to the end I still didn't quite get used to that, but it's still fun to scale walls. Bouncing also feels pretty hard because movement is a bit buggy afterwards.

The level design wasn't as terrible as you make it out to be (though it could be better). The art is pretty good, and the music and sounds are catchy, so nice work on those!

All in all, great job! One of the best entries for sure! =)

First of all pretty good game. And thanks a lot for the game maker tutorial videos. 4 years I started learning game maker by watching your videos. Thank you for that.

Loved the idea that I can use the spear in multiple ways, just for an example I played the starting (which is your gif) by throwing the spear into the wall and jumping on it. I liked the part where I can solve the problem in multiple ways. This kind of remembers me Don't Starve, where there are multiple ways to solve a problem (catching a rabbit). It is just my personal feeling, wall jumping feels kind of weird and hard to control for me. All the best!!!

Totally self promotion for my game. Sorry :P Gravity Shooter: https://gm48.net/g/780 This is my game, go give it a try. I want to know how people are feeling about these kind of different mechanic where you use the gun recoil to move around and shoot enemies at.

Shaun, you have to make a game out of this. The spear stuff is so satisfying. Maybe the normal wall climbing could use some work as far as controls, but when i jumped on the spear for a super high jump and the thing twirled back into my hands I felt more like a bad ass than i ever have playing a platformer. No lie.

Seriously its really satisfying, good job.

I played through the whole game and got every coin/star, the game is fun! I enjoyed the various mechanics, was a good mix of uses.

Noticed some bugs with the sound as others have mentioned, didn't run into any other bugs outside of that. I did notice that the F1 key halved the game speed(debug tool I'm sure). I managed to figure out the mechanics pretty smoothly, some more obvious than others for sure. Tutorial text for some of the mechanics would be helpful though.

Overall a fun experience!

Basic use of the theme, but done really well.

The game is incredibly polished, there are some weird collisions and the death sound plays every frame, but I still consider it stable. Art and sounds are also pretty good, even though the best part of the game the gameplay without a doubt, there are tons of mechanics, all implemented really well. The level design is more of a mixed bag but I liked it overall.

It was a really fun experience, I'm impressed of how many things you can do with a spear without even using it as a weapon.

Hands up who got a Switch recently and has been playing way too much Odyssey? Busted Mr Spalding!

This game is a winner. I got all the stars and almost all the coins. That spear is definitely magical, throughout the game you just keep finding new things it can do. Coding is top notch as always and the addition of a team who can now make Shaun's games look and sound great are a real boost.

Even though there is no menu, or tutorial, it's all about the gameplay, and that's in there in spades.

My prediction as the winner this jam. Awesome entry, hope to see more from these guys in the future :)

so I got 13 stars without evening realizing there was a left click functionality lol. I was definitely playing the game on hard mode. Really fun and something about collect-a-thon games that drive me to try and get everything.

10/10. Got all the stars and coins. Wonderfully fun to play and great use of the theme. Would definitely play more of it if there was more :)
