Thanks very much, that's great to hear.

Its a retro inspired, colour swapping platformer. Lots of variety and fun to be had.

Fight Club, book is decent but the film seems a more complete package.

Thanks so much.... For the purchase and the feedback. Pricing is another mine field - too cheap and people think it is low quality too much and people expect more than just a simple platformer.

I agree and that was mostly our thinking when we decided to not put out a demo at the start (and also the quite cheap asking price) I suppose the benefits of a demo would be...

Not everyone knows about steams refund policy

The gameplay can make it look quite a frustrating game (which it can be at times, but we have really tried to work around this) so a demo might encourage people to try it out and hopefully show them its tough but fair. (And even generous in places)

Not sure this all adds up to a strong argument either way but just thinking it over.

I think the biggest problem has always been visibility in general, we are terrible at promotion and left it very very late.

Not a bad idea, might do it when we add it to itch properly. (And hopefully a Linux build)

 

It's got cat's....hat's.....and... errr... stats. What more could you want?

 

Give it a try if you like challenging, but fair platform games with a fairly unique mechanic.

Just in case anyone is interested in a challenging and fun little platformer.

Unbelievable, I find this kind of thing so fascinating. Thanks for posting.

If you enjoy UK comedy stuff

Thanks for replying, I've posted it and will see if anyone complains :)

 

Forgive the blatent self promotion, but a game I made with a friend is current on sale as part of the Steam Summer Sale (as is every other game ever made).It's hopefully a fun, novel and challenging platform game made using Godot.

Hi,

Like a lot of people I'm new to Lemmy and just wondered what people thought of promoting/advertising your own game on here. I like it here for its clean / focused content and understand if people are against it as it feels a little cheeky/cheap.

Just realised I have not replied to anything yet, so using this thread to check it works.
