Had so much fun with this one! I genuinely enjoyed it that much that I wanted to play even more levels!

I've reading the comments and most of them complain for the jumping/camera issue. I would say that it isn't necesary to make camera rotation controls but elevate it more so you have a better perspective of whats below the player.

Also, I'd suggest adding coyote timer becuase sometimes you want to jump just in the corner but end up falling.

Anyways, excellent graphics and gameplay. It's a solid game for your first try in 3D.

Developer

hey Hector thanks for your kind words im so glad you enjoyed it.

 anyways, yup you're actually so right, the thing that make the platforming hard is perspective and shadows, i found that shadows indicate where you actually are, but i couldn't really set them up very correctly i will try to do that in future projects, and ill also add stuff like coyote timer and other techniques there's many tutorials on how to perfect the mechanics and move set of a platformer i will spend some time on those.

thanks so much for your review and your encouraging reply, it means a lot!

Good job for your first 3D game! First stage ghost was a bit quick, but once I figured out what was going on, it was enjoyable. Good work~

Developer

yeah first level was poor designed ngl, glad you liked it and thanks for your kind words!

Great music choice, the jumping takes a bit to get used to but its fun. level 3 was hard! I wasn't sure if I'd make it to the end of the game but for a final level it had a good challenge

Developer

so glad you had fun! the music is a banger fr!

The jumping is quite hard to jump in the actual direction you want but in a way that makes challenge even harder :p Great music for this type of game and nice interpretation of the theme well done! :) :) 

Developer

indeed i totally agree but this is my first 3d platformer and i only started game development last month i will try to handle this better in future projects ^_^, and im so glad u liked it the song is indeed a banger!!

Jumping is a bit janky, but that makes for a good challenge! The mechanic of having to die to proceed is really funny too. 

Developer

very glad you liked it! and yep i struggled with jumping and camera mechanics cuz im a beginner but will do a better job hopefully in the future

Good effort! I liked the idea very much ,but it is a little bit difficult to jump

Developer(+1)

it is i agree but i didn't have enough time to learn how to make proper 3d platforming and i only started out last month, but hey thanks!

No problem :) we all enter game jams to learn :) I have been learning programming for a month too, so you are not alone :)

Nice game. A little difficult to jump in the right direction. But overall good job!

Developer

thanks! i will try to learn more about platforming to make it better!

Like the concept but im too bad and the camera angle is making it difficult

Developer(+1)

im glad you liked it! the camera made me waste so much time and then it didn't work so i just made it static, will try better next time tho

Submitted(+1)

good concept. need some tweaks and animations, and maybe camera rotate control? i can't see where is jump in this angle

Developer

thanks! it does and im learning bit by bit, 3d animation is on my radar but it's a bit too complicated and hard for me to learn at the time, but will 100% learn it in the future so wish me luck, and as of the camera rotation, i tried to make it but it was very hard for me since im very new to game development and this is my first 3d game but will 100% add it in future projects
