Oh damn, I forgot you make games.
The level with turrets requires for you to disarm the turrets as the first step. Once you're done with it, you're pretty much done.
As I said, the pressure and the last level can kill you at any moment no matter that you did previously, that's why I'm not a fan of them. Hope it's more clear now.
Not really. The electric hazard level has very generous timer for the one last electric fence you need to run past. And in the poison bath level you won't die unless you jump right into it. So the electric one is still mostly a puzzle and the poison level is full blown puzzle.
One of the new animations for Sputnik.
This one is just funny, I had to share.

Hog consuming a giant long sausage. Awesome.
I'm not the only one who runs my own game on a retro handheld lmaooo
"Have we gone insane?"
Yes, absolutely.
The type of thing you see with body temperature of 39 C
I don't think the way you enter the rift matters much. You don't need to press the button prematurely most of the time and that's why people don't see it as a necessary mechanic.
The point I'm trying to bring is that you can know exactly what to do, but then hit the wrong timing/cycle and die. Level restarts and now you do the same thing and hope you do it in time this attempt. It's not as big of a problem on the hydraulic level, but it's very noticeable on the last one.
Reminder that you can play the public beta (the better and latest version of the game) on itch io. New beta will also come out soon!

It's been over a year since I released the version 0.2 (New Perspective) of Sputnik's Journey. I tried to play it today just to compare and it's so painful lol. I'm glad I'm improving. Starting to feel like the game is actually getting good now.
8/8
It would be nice if the game asked what type of control you want to use the first time you boot up the game, because it took me some time to realize how to set up mouse/keyboard controls. "What type of control would you like to use? (You can change it in settings)." message would work perfectly.
7/8
In worst case for some people it can trigger a seizure. I also recommend putting a flashing lights warning at least on the game's pages.
6/8
Unrelated to level design, but the tiles on the tutorial still flicker on small OLED screen. Sadly, I can't capture it on camera, but it's very unpleasant for the eyes. I think slowing down the speed of the moving grid would help. Making it static wouldn't be criminal too.
5/8
That's why I didn't even beat the last level at all. I spent half of the time looking at Macky dying and making no progress.
4/8
I wish the level restarted as quickly as it does when you restart from the pause menu.
I do realize you like Megaman, but I don't think disappearing platforms fit this type of game. It's frustrating, cause it's so hard to make progress and figure out the puzzle when it's gets reset so easily.
3/8
You die, you watch the death animation, the menu appears, you manually press the restart button, watch the level title and only when you can continue. Keep in mind, that this happens every time you miss a jump or simply try to figure out the steps you need to take.
2/8
But these two don't work like that. They're both also take your reaction and timings in account. And it wouldn't be too big of an issue if it didn't take so long for the level to restart for an each attempt.
1/8
I did beat all levels on par except the last one and here are my thoughts.
Personally, I don't like the way the Hydraulic Processes and Risky Climb are designed.
The approach for most of the levels is usually take it step by step. If you died, that means you took the wrong step.
Time Foray demo v0.2 is out!
It has new features and improvements over the v0.1 demo.

Concept art of in-game decorations.
I thought it was boring that the tiles and solid meteors are completely flat, so the solution I came up is to add some small decoration elements. Fun fact: they're different every time you restart the level!

Ah, beginner's trap
Good investment
- Added full controller support for the hub and shop
- Added a health bar to Sputnik and the way to restore his health
- Reworked the helmet to prevent the lethal hit
- Added coin bags. They drops lots of coins of contact
- Nerfed Boss's HP
Health and coin bags
