The First Idea
This game was focused on participating in three different Game Jans: Metroidvania Month #23, Magical Girl Game Jam #9 and Game Breaker's Toolkit Jam #10. The latter, which aimed to make a broken game, was the one that complicated the development the most, and ended up setting the tone for the game.
I researched the most frustrating and annoying events in platform games to apply here, and in the game's story itself I defined that it took place in a virtual world being corrupted, to justify the problems. I also implemented some intentional bugs, however I didn't hold back and put some care into some graphical aspects. On the home page you can find this first version, in case you're curious.
Since GBTJ#10 had a short deadline for delivery and voting, I was able to make some additional adjustments to the game for MM#23 and MGGJ#9. I tried to give it a good polish and fix as many bugs as I could find, but in the final versions there were still frustrating and broken things. Even with these problems, the game had a great final result (ranked 4th in MM#23 and 14th in MGGJ#9).
The desire to improve the game and work based on the feedback received was great, so the opportunity to participate in the Magical Girls FOREVER Continue-It Jam II was perfect, and here is a version based on many improvements, but I continue to make new adjustments that will be posted after the voting ends.
Compare the first version with the most recent one and tell me what you think. Although I'm satisfied with the new one, I confess that some things from the first one still captivate me, heheh.
