Cool game! The controls remind me a bit of the Metal Slug series 👍
A few things I would change for accessibility reasons are:
Reducing the size of the player colliderA few checkpoints along the way
More than 1 health (I died sooo many times) 😓
I like how you made it so that each enemy had to be dealt with in a specific way, while also adding some platforming using obstacles.
Well Done! 👌
Just being mentioned in the same sentence as Metal Slug is a massive compliment for us! Thanks for the suggestions. We are balancing the difficulty for our next release. The major issue with the spikes was that it used a 16x16 collider which took up the entire tile. We initially used a tilemap for the spikes and used the default collision box (which cannot be edited). We fixed that and are now using a custom collision shape that aligns with the shape of the spikes and is more forgiving.
We are now exploring either the use of a health bar and/or the addition of checkpoints. I want the game to be challenging and to give the player the feeling of accomplishment when they pass a difficult area. So, we are leaning more towards adding checkpoints (it's actually the most requested feature among our players).
Thanks again for playing our game!
love the graphics, love the gameplay and love the concept! this game is really fun and challenging to play, but makes me play more and more 😮
We appreciate you playing our game! Thanks for the encouragement.
I lost a lot... in section spikes whit the arrow at the end, I almost all the time touch that spike at the corner.
Still incredible work, feels very polished. I like the player sprites and how simple it is to start and play.
I really liked good work!!
Thanks for the feedback! We are balancing the difficulty in our next update. The spikes are too unforgiving in this build.
Wow love this game will play this all day
Thanks so much! We appreciate the kind words.
It's a pretty good and well-polished platformer game. Well done.

Thanks! I appreciate you trying out our game.
Great game! The game looks great, plays great (even though being quite difficult for my taste) and the music is KILLER. Really nice job!
I'm glad you liked it! Really appreciate you playing our game and leaving us feedback.
Nice project and nice graphics
Thanks for playing our game!
This game is surprisingly good! A bit on the difficult side, but that's easily fixable with a health system or something similar. The graphics and audio are great as well. Honestly, you should be proud of this entry. Great work!
Thanks for the feedback! Really means a lot to us. After looking through all of the comments, we are making some changes to balance the difficulty. We’ll release it in our next update.
Real nice game you have made. really top.with some upgrade, you have made yourself a full game.
Thanks for checking out our game! We are expanding our project into a full game.
Love the retro music! Wonderful game. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks! We're glad you had fun playing it. We are working on making it into a full game.
Waiting to play it too 😊
this game feels really polished , i like it
Thanks so much for checking out our game! We really appreciate the kind words.
Nice game and design! The spike section (on the first gif) is tough and might come a bit too early.
Unlike some comments, I like the music!!
Thanks for playing our game! I think we went too extreme with the difficulty. We are going to address this in our first update after the game jam concludes. We already fixed the collision box on the spikes to make them more forgiving and are now looking into adding a health bar and/or checkpoints. Also, the level will be redesigned in the next release to build up the difficulty gradually.
The game is really cool, I really enjoyed playing it, the artstyle looks great, the music is perfect in touch with the things you see on the screen. This is one of the games I enjoyed the most so far. The only thing I was worried about, was that you were oneshot to everything and had not a single checkpoint(or too less). But as I mentioned before, I really enjoyed the game.
Great Job:)
Thanks for the high praise! Really means a lot to us. We are going to balance the difficulty in our next update. Thanks again for checking out our game!
Great work really captures that retro vibe. I wish the jump didn’t eat away at the jetpack fuel… Maybe have the player hold Space to fly instead ? Also, consider adding hit indicators for enemies, sometimes I couldn’t tell if my shot landed. Giving the player just a bit of HP would help too. Overall, great game!
Thanks so much for the feedback! We actually designed it so that the player could not jump and had to solely rely on his jet pack. However, that’s a great suggestion and we’ll definitely revisit that idea. In regard to the enemy hit feedback, I wanted to implement both a shake and a white flash. But using the tint feature wasn’t working for me. So, we had to settle for just the shake (which perhaps was too subtle) in the initial release. We are working to fix that and should be ready in our next update.
As for the HP, that’s another area we are reevaluating. Adding checkpoints seems to be the most requested feature. Maybe that alone can help with the difficulty. But we are exploring all options, including a HP bar.
Thanks for playing our game!
Great entry!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Retro vertical platformer. Solidly made and polished. The music doesn't suit me. I would have preferred some retro 80s style chiptune, but again, that's just my opinion. Everything else is very well made.
Appreciate the feedback! I love chiptunes as well.
