Perspectives
Hi everyone this is my entry for the third Blackthornprod game Jam. My second finished game and the first game jam project ever.
The theme was "Less is more", and I went for a simple 2D platformer where you only need to jump over some spikes and get to the end flag with only one level(The less part), but each time you touch the flag you will be sent back to the beginning and you will have to beat the level again but with another perspective(The more part).
So to make it short the idea of this game is less gameplay and levels and more "Perspectives".
All of the sprites, music, and programming was done during the time of the jam.
I am really happy how it turned out and I can't wait to check out your entries for this game jam.
Update after the jam: Fixed the buggy jumping.

<3 this game put a smile on my face no complaints... i enjoyed every second of it =P
irresponsive controls
A very well done game! To me, the only problem would be that it lags alot. Other then that, amazing job!
If you played on browser try to download a build for you operating system.
Ok I will try that. Thanks for the tip.
A very cool game ! This is a creative take on the theme :D
Feel free to check my own entry for the jam <3
I liked it it was polished and short and sweet.but the jump was a bit finicky
Interesting for sure! Video review below: 27:22 Perspectives
Really loved the idea and execution!
It's short, simple, and well polished.
Check my entry also ;)
Best of luck!
Simple, short, and sweet.
Visuals and sounds are very good but game is so repetetive. You would bring up new mechanic with each perspective to solve this problem. Other than that overral good game experience. Well done.
The idea fits the theme very well, and the art, music, it overall feels perfect to the game.
But there's a few things I'd like to point out, 1. Add Jump Buffer, I assume you have implemented Coyote time, but adding Jump Buffer will make it soo much better. Because of this, I died like 6 times XD. 2. Replaying the level would be boring. Well everytime you finish a level, all that happens is that it changes perspective. I doesn't bring that much of an interesting gameplay. I'd suggest implementing things like Simple Weapons or other mechanics, and not just platforming.
But despite these, the game is very polished, and also fits the theme very well. :D
THIS WAS SO!!!!!!! GOOD!
I really enjoyed both the visual aesthetic and the sound design!
The "perspectives" mechanic kept me playing the same level over and over and really loving it! This is GRADE A game design!
Congrats on making something sooooo good!
wonderfully designed, the excitement of seeing what the next prespective would be kept me hooked through all the stages which means its a job well done :)
awesome concept. Enjoyable to play and nice simplistic art works really well. Great job!
winner! winner! chicken dinner
Sick execution! If this gets developed any further, maybe consider adding some music variation. But excellent jam game!
Really cool game and great transitions. I really liked controlling the character and jumping around. The gameplay for a bit repetitive but still a really fun concept! This is one of my favorite games of the jam! :)
This is unique, haha! I hadn't thought of this idea so well done! :)
I already commented before, but this is definetely my favourite game from the Jam. Please continue making it, I would absolutely play it.
the level transitions are so cool! also the art style fits really well. Good job although you didnt include the jam theme of some sort.
Consider playing "A gamedevelopers tale" by my as well! :)
Thanks for the review, and about the Jam theme, i guess we don't have the same "Perspective" which is fine, also your game looks cool with The BTP art style, I might check it out.
Wow, that was really cool :D
Seriously, the concept is clever, the art is very nice, and the music and sound effects are cool. Keep it up, man!
I beat the game, it was extremely fun even though it was the same level, i felt like it was a fresh new level, I did play Geometry Dash so some of the levels were easy. Great Game!
Huge! I love it 👍
This was so fun and nice and I really liked the ending:)
Absolutely loved every minute of it. Everything is fresh in every new perspective. Love that last words of wisdom ;)
I'm really glad you liked it:)
Love the simple yet effective art and the clever concept, but the level seems a little long and can be a bit boring in parts. Consider making the level shorter?
Thanks for feedback, the level is that long because i used to have enemies, power-ups, and lifes, but i had to remove them because it didn't fit with The theme, i just had so many ideas. I don't think i will have time to redo the levels, perhaps after the Jam is over.
