I like the bright colors used in the game but i feel i have to tilt too much to control the character i like the music too.
i like being able to play this awesome game for free and dont like that the lite version ends so soon....
Thanks for the (very fast) feedback wubbs - code has been PM'd to you! As for your tilt problem, did you try changing the sensitivy settings on the options->controls screen? Maybe you can tell me a better default value (currently Horiz/Vert are at 50%). cheers, Steve.
Hi i downloaded the lite version of this game and loved it! the only thing i would say is that like someone else said the tilting thing... I tried what u said but it didnt help a ton But i love the way you play the game!!! thanks for a cool and awesome game
What I like from the lite version was the tone of the game, the graphics and the music/ sound effects gave a feel of the Beatles and there movie yellow submarine. However I hated that movie, but I think this type of style works very well in the game and gives a nice trippy feel, which is an art direction you don't see that often. From the lite version I cant really pick a thing that I disliked per say, more then something that I felt I would have liked added, which would be the ability to reverse. I know I can turn around and move back but I felt wanting a button Ii could hold and tilt back to just hop backwards at some points in the levels.
I'm a big fan of the trippy style of the game. Not sure why this hasn't found more success. I think the screenshots don't really do it justice. You really need to play it to get a good feel. I have to agree about the tilting, though. I much prefer d-pad/joypad/touch controls for platformers. Just my opinion.....
I loved the way the lite version gave me a full sense of what the game whould be like and what I would be buying. Needless to say, I bought the game. I dont really have any qualms about the lite, only the fact that I spent..... wait no it was free, and I guess perfect!
Thanks Drkdstoyer - PM with code sent. Did you try the virtual joystick? I'm wondering if we should set the joystick to be the default control rather than the tilt.
Thanks Autilian - PM with code sent! Did you try holding down the stop button + tilt backwards, and then quickly release/hold the stop button again to hop backwards a tad? If that doesn't work, any ideas on where such a back button would go? Also - did you know about the virtual joystick control option?
Yes i did i just tried it and definately like it a little better I think it would be a better deffault
I definitely like the music and the unique concept of stepping on all the panels to win. What I don't like is the controls. It could be improved.
Thanks for the feedback Kevd - promo PM'd. As for the controls, did you know about/try the virtual joystick?
Thanks for the feedback shishio99 - promo code PM'd. Wrt controls - do you have any suggestions on how to improve them? Did you know/try the virtual joystick?
I went and try'd the stop button, but once i let go he runs back when i'm tilting back rather then a small hop. The joystick control didn't exactly do what i felt was needed either. I suppose what i mean is i can tap to jump and tilt and direction and once i land ill be facing that direction. What i felt was needed was to be able to jump like that, but still be facing the same direction you were before the jump, so that u can jump back avoid an enemy and then tilt forward to run on. It's that there is a slight delay to turning around that would not be there if this was implemented. As to where i would implement it, if its possible to tell the difference between a tap and hold, then maybe a tap could be to jump as it is where u face the direction you jumped, while a hold could be a hop where you keep facing the direction you were before the hop.
Ok I understand what you mean now. That would be really tricky to tune due to the small time delay window for tap/hold etc. What's interesting is that if you ignore the direction the character is facing asthetically, you'll find the character always moves in the direction you tilt (or push the joystick). So maybe I'm missing something else that you are trying to do?
I've got 4 more codes remaining, but I have to go offline for a few hours. I'll check back later to see if anyone else plays the lite version and answers the challenge questions! thanks, -Steve.
