Dino Dash

Really love that dash. It's very satisfying.

Really liked the game overall, level 8 took me a rather long time to figure out, I think that there should be more space at the start of the level to help people figure out they need to invert the gravity down there.

I just wish there were more levels.

Here is gameplay video which you already followed during stream, there are most comments https://youtu.be/QJG0bZJKyJU?t=1791

Now what I want to point our which others have also done is that sound effects were bit harsh, maybe try making recordings (like hitting pillow for 'thumb' sound, can be creative ^^ ).

Nice game, couldn't get below 35 seconds :(

My biggest gripe with the game are the sound effects, some are pretty rough and don't really go with the artstyle. I also noticed what I think is a small glitch. When dashing against the ceiling, it seems like it goes to max velocity right away. I noticed that in the last level, I kept hitting my head and the gravity change didn't have the time to make me change direction before hitting the spikes. Overall I felt that the gravity acceleration was a little slow when changing side, but it made for nice platforming before that point.

That was really good overall, definitely would have played a few more levels!

Great art!
The controls felt really good and were really responsive.
As others have mentioned, the dash sound was really harsh to the ear and I had to turn the volume down quite a bit.
But Overall a great entry!

First of all, thank you so much for the gamepad support. The platforming in this game is really solid and resoponsive. The art is great and the music bangs. Literally, my only criticism of the game is the dash sound. It was jarring and felt out of place.

Really though, that's the only thing. Great work, and I would love to see more of this.

I really liked the style and it was a well made game with some solid mechanics, the gameplay was smooth and the concept was great. The difficulty ramped up really quick but I liked what you'd done, hopefully you will expand on this as I'd like to see more! :)

That was fun! Short speedrunnable platformers are my weakness so I couldn't resist spending some time to get a good run. My best time is 00:24:37 with zero deaths. https://i.imgur.com/Z8a0foa.png.

I appreciate how self-explanatory the game is. Starting up the game and seeing the first level made it very clear what the game was going to be about - it's a platformer and there's a timer and a death counter. The game mechanics and controls were introduced appropriately and clearly one at a time. Often jam games (including ours!) end up just dumping a screen with all possible controls with the hopes that the player might remember them later.

I played with a controller and the controls feel pretty responsive and smooth. I had really only a couple of issues. The first one is that there's a bug where the player can get stuck in a floor/ceiling when swapping the direction of gravity right at the edge of the collision box. The second issue is that you can walk back to the previous level. This is very distracting in the case when you die while moving leftwards because then you probably end up accidentally moving back to the previous level and get lost for a second or two.

Overall I liked it very much! It's got a minimal set of core mechanics which are implemented well and the scope of the design is concise. The levels are appropriately challenging and clearly designed around the core mechanics.

Level 8 was particularly tricky, as you have to use the little tiny bit of block at the start to flip upside down on before you can complete it.

In all honesty, this felt really good when playing with a gamepad. Best platforming character feel i've tried yet this jame. I like the puzzle concepts the dashing and grav flips introduced. Good job!

Definitely nicer with a gamepad. Figuring out the diagonal dash was key. Tough to acheive a deathless run.

I also got stuck on the same level as the previous commenter, but I'm also horrible at platformers! Using an xbox controller, the gameplay was very smooth and enjoyable. Loved the controller shake while dashing! Very cute platformer! I wasn't able to beat the game, so I'm not sure if this feature becomes important later, but quite a few times I died while moving left, and then found myself back in the previous room. I might have preferred if access to the previous room was blocked off. All-in-all super fun to play!

Cool game. Like the idea of mixing the gravity change mechanic from VVVVV with Celeste dash. I totally got stuck on one level, managed to get to the first platform but not the spike section in the middle, actually seems impossible to me but I am probably too dumb to work it out. Would love to see how its done.
