Loved the art, keep up! Some gameplay aspects could be tweaked but the game itself is enjoyable :)
Thank you!
This is a bit of a long comment but I feel like the feedback could hopefully be useful. I will start with saying I liked the art. the music was a bit too loud and a audio slider would have been nice (but even just lowering the volume by in general would have been nice (not that big of a deal). The countdown seems very loose but also sort of detrimental to the game itself, like if it changes mid jump near spikes you just die but also for one of the sections after a checkpoint each time you die you just have to wait a prolonged period of time to turn into the negative mode just so you can be small which makes dying just feel too punishing. I also got tripped up a bit with the moving platforms due to a combination of 2(ish) reasons.
1. the player not keeping the velocity of the platform.
2. a mix of the fact the platform moves back when you aren't on it and the background making it so you don't really immediately tell it is moving backwards.
I was at the front of the platform at the first part and was very confused how to go further as the game just made me think the platform just goes backwards from there.
hopefully this feedback is of some use and sorry if it comes across as overly negative, that is not my intention.
Actually, thank you for leaving this comment! You have given me full incentive to continue this project. sorry you didn't enjoy. Will make it so the shrink happens sooner, thanks again for feedback!
don't be sorry, whilst it wasn't something I particularly enjoyed, you still done a good job making a game. I'm guessing you made the platforms go back when you aren't on it to avoid the player being stuck, whilst there may have been better ways to fix the issue, the fact you saw the issue and fixed it is great . If my feedback helped you want to continue the project then that's great to hear.
Actually a really cool idea. Well done!
Thank you!
I love the animation, it has such a cute hand-drawn charm, can imagine it took ages to make! Music was very fitting as well.
If there was more time it would have been great to see the controls finetuned a bit more. There was a point where I trampolined super high randomly. Would also be nice if there was bigger narrative/goal objective I am trying to save my boy from. Otherwise, I'd happily let him run into hell lol
If i ever expand the game, I will fix that bug and the controls, but thanks for playing!
I love the character animation!!!!!and the idea if very cool! but im stuck at the part where you drop down and need to follow the moving block, I suddenly die out of nowhere?
Thank you! I think you hit a hard to see spike there.
