That's a big map man. From the level design, that's amazing.
Visually - and when it comes to the use of assets - 5 stars.
However, the take on the theme isn't that much clear (except for alien symbiosis in the flora of the map) and gameplay mechanics aren't tied much to the theme. It was frustrating when i died a couple times and I was at the start with no checkpoints, there is no life system too. Audio is fine, just needs some polish here and there.
Good job, this submission was a lot of work.
Woah! For a 1 month project, this is awesome!
I like the color scheme, it give it a unique alien feel. The art for the player character and crashed ship were well done.
The platforming mechanics are great.
The slug was too easy to kill from the wall. The gun mechanic needs work.
Overall awesome platformer!
Heads up that your asset links are all pointing to your music despite the text being correct and everything is listed with “tiles author”. Great stuff, visuals are wonderful!
At first I really liked the visuals. I like the colors. but after some time I noticed how the colors were kinda a strain on the eyes. But maybe that's just me. Hitting moving enemies while jumping is a little unintuitive. There were several occasions where I thought my gun definitely lined up with their sprite and they didn't get hit. I don't know how it works, but maybe it's just that you shoot one "bullet" despite what the soundeffects and the animation say. And if you don't hit with that one it doesn't matter when you line up with an enemy during the rest of the animation? Feels like something like that.
Overall this is a really fun game. It has a good mix of difficult precise jumps and just walking through it casually, depending which route you take. But it invites the player to collect all the crystals and shoot all the enemies. if you aim to do that, you're in for a challenge, which I quite like.
I definitely see the potential for when you keep working on that and implement several new features. (Especially some kind of reward system for collecting crystals.)
Cons:
I would add a background filter to match the color of the blocks.
I use Linux, I don't know if it's a global shortcut, but pressing W + CTRL in the current tab closes it, making the game quite difficult. I also didn't like restarting everything; I could simply go back to the beginning without having to collect coins again.
Some enemies are unrecognizable (but I think this is more due to the graphics). I jumped on a creature and didn't even notice because it blends into the background.
Pros:
The design is well done, and I didn't encounter any notable bugs (apart from the gunshot, whose design isn't visible).
The scenery and collisions were well utilized; I found it quite fun overall. I think it could be further expanded with space mechanics, like slower gravity and the like (because of the space/alien theme).
It has a lot of different elements, and I liked the variety. Honestly, it has a lot of potential, but it needs to make the most of the space style
thanks for playing, I am responsible for the graphics XD in my defence I rushed them a bit and should have had some playtesting and adjusted accordingly, but for a Jam I think its fine, although a lot of colour/ fx animations are missing, like a subtle glow around enemies etc etc a lot of things that could have helped out for sure, again thanks for playing and for the feedback.
Coool! It has a lot of different platforming elements and is well designed. Nice difficulty also. Really enjoyed this. It was well put together overall.
Black screen, the game won't start ;(.
I'm not voting so as not to penalize you.
