Dethrone

I love this kind of games, and I loved dethrone. I'm not going to talk about what's good, though, I'll just leave some (hopefully helpful) criticism.

• The wall jump doesn't feel great. I think the height you gain is too little to feel impactful.
• Upon landing, the character slides too much IMHO. Although it adds to the difficulty of the game (which is a plus for me), it feels like you don't control it at all.
• It was extremely bold of you to implement moving platforms in a game jam. I clap you for that. However, the expected behaviour upon jumping while on a moving platform should be, IMHO, a jump with some side speed.
• Also, regarding moving platforms, I encountered a small bug. On the last level (IIRC), there's this moving platform at the bottom of a vertical corridor. Strange things happen if you jump against the right (i.e. in the direction of the movement of the platform) wall, like getting stuck to the platform.

This game is pretty solid especially considering it was made in a gamejam. I think the only thing I'd change would be the friction in air (it's not snappy),  obviously it's up to you but I think considering it's a skill based platformer I think acceleration should be low and friction should be high. Also I'm not a huge fan of how the character kind of snaps to the wall. I think it would be better if it would only slide down the wall if you were pushing towards the wall. Other than that awesome work. I like the music too!

Hey, Dethrone made it on my GMTK Game Jam 2019 Best Of video:  

-QE

Was this game made in Unity? Controls feel a little wonky,  tighten those up and I think you have a pretty standard platformer here! Great work.

Hey, the game crashed on the level with the moving platform and the 3 spikes + disappearing blocks. It crashed when i landed on the moving platform right when hitting the first spike + moving platform at the same time. Great game, though. I enjoyed it :)

beat the game! kinda tricky 10/10

however the controls, 5/10 why cant i jump with up arrow or w key?

I made an account to say that this game is super awesome and really impressive for such a short game jam. I'm looking forward to your next projects if there end up being any. :D

Tough game but I still enjoyed it in the end.

should add some coyote time for the wall jump as well. the squash and stretch is pulled off nicely

this game plays like celeste at a slower pace .also it feels like the dev team made the game's art monocrome and simplistic so they can focus on polishing the mechanics and levels ,which is nice , i wish more devs did that.

the performance is horrible , i can feel the game slowing down when the distortion effect is being applied.

i noticed the kayote time, it helped me finish a level once and it propbly saved me from frustration multple times without me noticing ,so thanks for adding that.but , i sometimes find myself falling of edges of platforms even after decelerating which is frustrating .

anyways , thanks whoever made this game , its fun engaging and impressively long for a game made in 24 hours

i know im being entitled but can you compile this game for linux ?

Great game and interesting use of shapes due to the colour choice.  Unfortunately the level pictured below was too difficult for me. Something that could be improved are the controls. Everyone is used to different controls. So just always let people jump using W, arrow up and space.

Hey, really liked this game!  I share some of my thoughts in this video: 

addictive and very fun... I think I purposely died too many times to brush up on my King names bahahaha

Really amazing level design, the difficulty curve is designed excellently. I'm not convinced it fits the theme however. Regardless I had a blast playing it!
