The Day My Block Gained Sentience
The Day My Block Gained Sentience is a simple puzzle-based platformer with a few levels for you to either despair on or handle with ease. It's my first game jam submission and first full game I finished.
External assets: I used IBM VGA 8x16 font from https://int10h.org/
Music, Graphics, and Programming is mine

I think having some small instructions would be helpful. I wasn't sure how to play at first.
From the get go this is very well put together.
There is cool animation in the start screen, nice music, an options menu!
art style is minimalistic and its cool to see you went with something that fit the game and the scope (and not, lets say use assets that would feel like they dont belong to that kind of game).
One particular level was hard and I kinda brute forced. I got to the final question, wanted to go to the "yes" goal but then stopped and jumped to the "no" to see what happens instead. very cool ending and I loved how there is meaningful player choice :)
I assume you are into 'game design' since your game feels kinda meaningful and designed in a smart way.
Knowing you made the music and art yourself is also very admirable.
What tools did you use?
Hi, thanks for your review and praise! I’m happy that you had fun.
I wouldn’t call myself as being ‘into’ game design specifically, I just like making games and my goal is to make something that gets under your skin; I am still a long way from making my games as I imagine them to be.
For this game I used Godot 4, LMMS to make the music, and GIMP for the art (animated player sprite and background animation is simply done by pushing around squares in Godot)
controls are alittle dificult to use but good game!
They were even tricky for me as I made them :D Hope you had fun!
Pretty fun, ended with 1100 points on a second attempt. The last level decimated my score on the first attempt haha
That is a good score! Thanks for playing!
