My only advice for this super 'FUN' game is if you hate yourself and love pain this is for you! Otherwise you should keep playtime to max five minutes, appreciate the effort put in to create this 'masterpiece of pure joy', vote for it on greenlight if you feel so inclined and never look back.
Well that was interesting. It was pretty damn fun I gotta admit. Great level design, music and art was really cool, and the land controls were nice and tight. There were some jerkish turret placements that really make the game cheap in later levels, and that horizontal movement in water is literally the worst I've seen, but it was certainly a fun experience. Nice job.
Well... Extremely fun game. It was very entertaining and I will probably be playing it for another month and a half. Its a great time killer. Music is awesome, level design is awesome, game play is awesome. You thought it out very well, congratulations. It's one of those games that would make you rage and give up, but I was happy throughout and didn't stop. I suggest a few things : Firstly, increase the movement in water slightly. Second, maybe up the friction, (close to half of my deaths were slipping off the small platforms, although that does add challenge to the game) Thirdly, maybe make an alternate ending that would be somewhat to extremely complicated, which you could actually kill "Big Square" and rescue your pineapple. I love this game and will continue to spread the word.
Well let's see a square is made up of four 90 degree angles. 4 x 90 = 360... 360 could be interpreted as 3 sixes at zero degrees or 666....OMG Big Square = Satan confirmed!!!
Way to go! Thanks for playing dude. A level creator would be awesome, but it's not in the cards for this version...but maybe another one in the future!
First and foremost, I love this game. It's truly magnificent. I've played it to completion several times in an effort to reduce my number of deaths and/or time.
I'll add, though, that this change to the controls has made it more difficult and less enjoyable for me. The increase in friction makes it harder to move quickly, and longer jumps now require stopping, backing up, and getting a longer run before jumping.
Thanks for the kind words beegee! If you don't mind sharing, what's your best time/deaths? I'm always curious to know!
Finding the perfect balance for controls is always a struggle. By far the largest criticisms I've got to date was that the player felt too slippery and the wall-stick was too hindering, which is why I've continued to work on them (and in the case of the wall-stick, eventually removed it completely). The problem with continuing to adjust the controls is that the levels were designed for the first set of controls, not the newest ones. I have gone back and adjusted some spots here and there to make sure it is beatable, but it isn't the same as designing levels around thecontrols (which is what I originally did).
I have a follow-up 'holiday special' version of Big Tower Tiny Square coming out soon, in which the levels were designed around the new controls - hopefully it will feel a bit better to you!
I don't remember exactly, but somewhere around 18:00, 33:00, and 57.
I can only imagine the challenge of making things mesh when changing the controls after the levels have been meticulously crafted for different controls. I didn't even realize how familiar I'd become with just sliding off of a platform onto another until the controls changed and I couldn't do it anymore. Even so, it's been great fun.
I understand that this kind of game isn't for everyone, but it's an absolute favorite for me. I eagerly await your next release.
I quite like the humor, and the game is solid as a brick, but the controls aren't quite as tight as they ought to be.
I can tell you were going for a Meat Boy/SMB style game, but in those games, very rarely do you feel like you're fighting with the controls. I had quite a bit of trouble in this with controlling the momentum off of wall jumps personally.

but hey, nice game it took me 2 hour to complete... 666 deaths.......I'm being cursed :C
Well let's see a square is made up of four 90 degree angles. 4 x 90 = 360... 360 could be interpreted as 3 sixes at zero degrees or 666....OMG Big Square = Satan confirmed!!!
Then we are trying to kill Santa the whole time!? Thankfully that lava doesn't effect him. :O
it didn't take me that long
oddly enough, i died 333 times by the time i finished :O
Way to go! Thanks for playing dude. A level creator would be awesome, but it's not in the cards for this version...but maybe another one in the future!
------------1.2.2-------------
- Further (and hopefully final) control tweaks.
- Minor level adjustments based on the new controls.
