https://veganpete.itch.io/watchm... Once upon a time, there was an old watchmaker and his beloved little frog. They were very happy until, one day, the frog fell inside a clock. Lost and alone in a maze of metal springs and cogs, The little frog listened for his master's instruction... "Hurry my friend! If the clock chimes, you will be squished by the cogs of time." A physics-based game. Use "Left"and "Right" keys to rotate the clock-spring. Press "Up" to make the frog jump. Collect the key to unlock the gate. Collect the Gem for Score. Collect the Hour-glass for more time. This is just the prototype - a working demo of the training level. If anyone wouldn't mind play-testing it to let me know if the controls/graphics/animations/sounds/pickups etc work or if there are any bugs/Glitches you can find? Have spent a few days on it so far, I expect the full version will be ready in a few weeks for the "Abstract" game-jam. Let me know what you think so far. |

Excellent game VP! I love the style of your game, a puzzle with strategy and time to scape the clock! I noticed after level 3 has no music, maybe the game is not finished yet; The controls are very good, is working great! The music is very good in the gameplay! Thanks for share the ccb file! |

This is a very unique game and very cool to play, liked it very much but for me, all the levels are the same, wish this can be turned into a something more beautiful puzzle game. I liked the physics and puzzle, thanks a lot for the CCB too. |

Thank you for the feedback! Glad it's working correctly and smoothly. This one is just a demo of a single level to test the mechanics and features. I'll be adding around 50 more puzzles with music to make a more complete game. By the way, did you like the death animation for the frog (if you let the timer run out)? lol. By the way, I used as site called "Aiva" to make the music - it's all A.i. generated and free to use if you mention their site. Instead of paying a subscription, I clicked play and recorded in analogue from my desktop - it's slightly lower quality, but it keeps it free and is good enough for my non-commercial games - I'll be down-sampling all the audio to 1q(mono).ogg format anyway, to keep the file-size low. |

Congratulations @Pete, what a beautiful gem you put together! Love it, this is what makes CopperCube really shine, thanks for sharing

Thanks for your kind words hadoken! I'm really glad it works properly and that you like it so far. Hopefully the finished game will be quite playable. |

Really like the game! The graphics reminds early ps2/psx era games a lot:) I wish there is more colorful nice stuff like that. I have a weird issue with controls though: 1. Jump into the key room and pick up the key; 2. Hold down right key, so you hit the wall, keep the right key held until the room turns 180 degrees; As a result your controls and animations gets inverted. |

Thanks for trying it out. Glad you like it. Yes, I noticed the issue with inverting the player too. I think it's gonna be hard for me to fix but I'll try to fix it. Main problem is that it's an optical illusion - the controls actually move the wheel, not the frog - the frog stays still as the wheel moves round him her. I tried to fix it by moving the frog too - but that introduces the opposite problem and makes it really hard to control the player. I'll have a long think about how to fix it and see what I can do. It's on the list of things to fix, if I can - thank you. |

I thought of a way to fix it - I think, if I stop the wheel turning when the frog hits a wall, it should stop the inversion of movement. It'll take me a while to implement it but I'll let you know if it works. Thanks again Okekoke. |

Are "VeganPete" and "VP" the same person? Almost seems like it. |
||||
|
Sorry for the confusion, yes - same person! "VeganPete" is my registered login on mist forums, I sometimes just use "VP" as a guest here, simply because it's quick to type whenever I get logged out from a session. |
