Legend of Song

:) i’m glad you enjoyed it. and, yah, can seem hard at first but that’s part of why i made Restart so handy. thanks for checking it out :)

thanks for playing :)

rage can be a good thing if you let it ;)

ah, rats. i need to make the amazing quadruple jump more obvious then!

now that you know, soar high!

pretty awesome hitting top 3 so fast; some skills you have!

and, it seems you’re using a controller to play? i shouldn’t tell you this as i like being #1 on the table but after hundreds of plays, keyboard > controller (at least i think so).

then, #2: i don’t see you using DESCEND as much as i think you could. LoS isn’t a “be like mike” michael jordan hang time is king kinda game as TIME is so limited here.

so, to fly higher stop soaring so much, not matter how fun it is (/my 2¢)

truth is i want competition and someone to chase back up the ladder. please continue your trajectory when you have a minute to play ;)

meanwhile, AWESOME vid, as always. not just saying that because it’s my own this time. i’ve always loved your vids :)

thanks for taking the time to play, make, and share it!

thanks for playing, and your feedback.

i did want Jump Count in but struggled with how to go about it. initially i thought to fade a # out @ each jump instance but thought that would clash aesthetically so left it out (and honestly didn’t revisit the notion until you brought it up here). i do have an idea to make each jump play a higher-pitched/different SFX that we’d subconsciously keep track of? i can try that out easy enough but will definitely think more about the notion so thanks for stirring it up.

re: Floaty Fall, it’s something i hear often in some of my projects/WIPs that i share. honestly, i prefer it over alternatives most times so it’s not up there on my things to address here (sorry :) ). i did include “stop ascension” via [Down] to add more control, tho, which i think was necessary.

with that, something i tried to focus on was a balanced challenge. i continually tweaked mechanics to a point where an entire level could be cleared in 20” for max points sometimes while feeling natural and fun (early iterations were a bit less so). a couple of testers offered “that feels just right” and i agreed so here we are.

on the Restart question, i’m not quite following. yes, [LMB] does restart (i forgot that i left that in from when i was testing level generation and it didn’t carry into the Controls instructions here) but [Shift] also Restarts. i’m using [Enter] to Refresh the High Scores and i wanted to be able to still run and jump @ the Main screen “just for fun” but i’m not understanding “change the text” in this context?

finally, yes. i did pour a lot into this while there’s always room for improvement but i do appreciate the results :)

i’m not finished with this project just yet so thanks for the Feedback. i should have Controller support in soon and more so keep your fingers nimble :)

thank you, NoobLoper! folks like you are the largest motivation for me :)

thank you, DTP, and congrats on cracking the 20k mark. we’re in good company! :)
