if you use the dioagonal gilitch,you can get stuck in walls
how do you get the secret in the last level?
i got out of bounds by using the "diagonal" bug (click down+left) to get out of bounds in the level 'brige'
idk if this is intentional but if you press two keys to move simultaniously (ex. down left) in a 1x1 green zone you will still move down left.
hey, thank you for telling us!
the bug is known. unfortunately it is not easy to fix :/
Just came across this game and I have to say its really clever and cool! being a beginner game developer myself I was curious how did u do the movement copy system ?
Hey, thanks! It's pretty simple. Every time the player moves inside of a control zone, the following happens: the input direction is saved in an Array and the game checks if the player is still in the zone. If yes, it waits for a new input. If the player leaves the zone, movement inputs are disabled and the game instead cycles through the directions saved in the Array until the player enters a new control zone. If you're interested in a more detailed explanation, you could also join our discord server to reach us (I don't check itch that often - sorry!)
sure, can i have your discord? i would love to know more about it cause i was working on something similar until i came across your game ^^ cool game btw

see you there ;)
Kazoobi kazoos are the loudest in the world !
Really fun little game. Were the box sounds home-made ? They sounded like someone actually pronounced "wshh" and "Pkronk"...
Yes, all the sounds were made by me ^^ I actually did say "wshh" and "pkronk" into my microphone. The piano sounds are also from my actual piano (which is why they sound a bit crunchy)
Found a bug relevent to the last 2 levels. You can keep moving within the green areas even after walking over a pit. You will still die after the animation finishes, but on the last 2 levels, it takes long enough that you can dash to the flag and finish those levels without solving them.
That's kind of funny. Thanks for reporting the bug. I'll fix it in the next couple of days.
i already finished it like that [evi]
How do i do refresh? I can get to the second last green rectangle and then i dont know what to do
you can refresh by pressing R or clicking the refresh button to the right
Sorry if I wasnt clear enough but i mean the level refresh
Sorry for taking so long to reply. For some reason i don't get notified for comments anymore :/

SPOILERS AHEAD
Alright. You are on the green platform before the one with the flag? In that case try to follow the moves you have to do backwards from where you want to reenter the green zone. Maybe if you exit it at the right spot it will work.
Thanks! I'll see if it works
Pressing the start button redirects to the menu. Fix
Maybe I don't get the issue. But pressing the "Start Game" button on the title screen seems to correctly show the Tutorial page before leading to the first level. Any more details on the bug might help us to (understand and) fix it.
Everytime i click it dosent function (Im using Jam WIndows)
It will redirect to menu
Oh, you are right! It should work now.
Post jam works though.
This is an amazing concept! I love the art and sound effects too. It has a lot of potential, and I'll be sure to play any updates if you choose to work on it further.
