• Good job for taking your first step into game dev! This looks like a really good prototype to show off, but one thing I would definitely improve is the handling when airborne. When the player changes direction while airborne there is an immediate velocity change in the direction pressed instead of a gradual deceleration/acceleration in the chosen direction. This makes subtle adjustments difficult and frustrating to the player (for an example of what I am talking about: open up Metroid dread, hold right and jump, and then hold left while midair. Samus doesn’t jerk toward the left, she slows down first and then slowly speeds up horizontally to the left.) Moving on to the Game Design Document, I have a few suggestions of things to add. The first is a Tools section, which shows the software, languages, programs, etc. that are being used in the game so it’s clear what the parameters are that you are working in. The second is bullet points or a table for your features section (other people call it the primary and secondary mechanics tables) so that it is clear what is in your game. Finally, I would rework your Development Timeline with two columns (finish by date and job category like coding or art assets etc.) so that it is clearer what set of skills is needed and when it needs to be done by in its own column. Other than that I think this was really good and fun to play, all in all, great work!!
