There isn't an indicator/pointer showing which option the player is picking during the dialogue segments.
Subjective but i think the camera going up and down when jumping is kinda disorienting.(it seems to not do that anymore in the later stages)
The main mechanic of the revovler knockback is a complicated one.
The first impression is that it also boosts my speed/ add speed to my momentum like the slide ,but actually it only gives the player a recoil kick in horizontal/vertical,so you cant do things like getting a bigger jump from jumping and firing at the same time.
So far from the level design it feels more like a 6 limit double jump,which means that if you fire it before reaching the apex of the first jump,it overrides it with a fixed pushback.
Level 10 is a showcase of that which if you dont fire the revovler directly downwards, you dont get enough upward recoil to go up.
The AI is probably his wife.
also on a second playthrough the model doesnt revert back to the old one without a gun until a death.
Overall looks good and the story grabs from the start! I do recommend showing the dialogue controls the first time, because I got stuck for way too long on the first dialogue bubble hahahah. But anyways it is a very beautiful game to look at and im very interested in the ways you will continue working on this game! Good luck!
1 bug I stumbled upon is when you backtrace in level 8 where you can go back down my game gets softlocked. because it does not go to the previous level. I absolutely loved playing through those levels again tho!
Please also make sure to give my submission a try. As someone who isnt as experienced as you in pixel art I am very curious what you think about the looks of my game!
Thank you for the kind words and also for the bug report haha I will have to fix that. I really appreciate you trying my game and I’m glad you enjoyed the art and story :)
I will definitely check out your game when I get the time and leave my thoughts!
Thank you so much for playing my game and for the valuable feedback! I'm glad you like the visuals as art is probably the most daunting part of development for me. I will definitely play around with the speed of the idle animation.
Also I appreciate your feedback on the controls. In the future I plan on allowing the player to change the keybinds to whatever feels best to them so I'm glad you mentioned that. Thank you!
