  • Wonderful little game, got 58 seconds haha, would've liked to see a little bit more but was great nonetheless, of course I'm sure you've learnt that you must be thorough with your controls explanation otherwise soft locks can occur (don't worry I checked the comments before playing) It's all about the learning experience. Well done, would love to see a few more levels added in future ;)

Hehehe, loved the cat, the big hand dude was a bit tricky but finally I got to the hellivator. Loved the intro and the music as well!

Oh i've been really excited to play this one since I saw it on the discord server!

I loved it! The pixel art and the animations are amazing <3

That transition from the menu to the gameplay was awesome too!

Excellent work!

I really like the polish you added on the game from the intro to starting the game and also included the credits. Good choice of pallet colors that complement the style. Although I got stuck after killing the 1st guy. I can't seem to jump out of that area lol. Thanks for sharing your game!

Developer

Thanks for trying the game and the feedback! Yeah everyone gets stuck there, so I have to make it a bit clearer what to do. Try crouching before jumping and you'll jump higher.

That was a great experience! The game does a fantastic job of teaching you new concepts, and really feels like a small demo of a much larger game. I enjoyed it a lot. Some of the art was very reminiscent of Another World to me.

Developer

Thanks a lot, glad you liked it! I hadn't heard of Another World but just looked it up, and I definitely see some similarities! Looks like it has a big silhouetted monster too. My vision for the game would be to make the level bigger, then add more levels as you go up the Hellivator, and maybe some less linear elements like collecting items and unlocking areas. I've got lots of ideas to bring to it, so I'll see if I can motivate myself to continue with it!

The setting is very beautiful, and I particularly liked the fact that the character is a cat. The jump is super well done, it feels good.

The giant at the end is crazy. I loved running at full speed and getting hit out of nowhere. It's excellent timing.

The final jump between the hands was a bit difficult for me, but that's a matter of skill alone. xD

Thanks for your feedback! I don't know why I went with a cat originally, it just felt like the right character and it worked out well. Glad you liked the timing of the squashing hand! I figure it might catch some people off guard trying to zoom through the level.

The art is very beautiful! the gameplay is also fun!

although I got stuck in the area where the gorilla was, I could not climb, I do not know if I'm stupid or what haha

The only thing I would add is more music!

the rest is great, great job!

Great art and fun gameplay, good work ! Some platforms are really challenging First i forgot to use crouch for higher jump and in boss area i lost so much time because of that :D

The controls and animations are fantastic! the death animation on the skeleton was great as well. and the giant slamming fist guy was amazing.
