i can’t hit enemys but good game
While short and simple, this is a pretty good start as your first platformer! The controls felt nice and the jump was satisfying to use. I was even surprised there was a wall jump! Not many try and go for that right off the bat! The enemies moved a bit fast and the sword seemed ineffective but it wasn't too hard to dodge them! And the sprite work itself was also simple but effective! Could immediately tell what was an enemy.
A few bits of feedback! Allow for movement while using the sword, or at least keep the stop as brief as possible to not disrupt game play. A few bits of scenery decor couldn't hurt either! Also the screen transitions seemed to revert any extra health I had back to the start.
A good first step! Good job and completing it for the game jam!
I like the SMB nod at the end with the stairs hehe! The sword didn't seem to work properly, so I just avoided the enemies. Nice platformer nonetheless, good job!
