Hey Prinny, thank you so much for your video review!
You say so many things in your video so i'm not sure if I'll can remember everything, but there we go.
A little of backstory first: The first thing I draw for the game was the halo, the chest and every kind of coin that the chest drops, and then went back to unity and did the whole score system xD the game wasn't planned to be as it is. I was thinking about making a classic platformer and then I had the idea of rhe current game mechanic. But i decided to keep the score because at the end of each section, the player has something that feels like a reward. But it only works the first playthrough as i see ^^"
Another thing I should say is that the score is generated almost randomly, every coin has a different value and then chest spawns them randomly, I only have control over the quantity from the unity editor... So yep, the score doesn't matter, is only there to give the player the thought that he is winning something.
I'm currently developing a menu and a timer as a "New game +" functionality because literally everyone close to me tried to "speedrun" the game xD.
The fact that you tried to click the main screen insteat hitting "enter" made me thought that you're right, if the whole game is controlled with the mouse, why the title screen shouldn't be aswell?
I'll test things with the background, maybe using something like a gradient blue, because maybe it's too bright.
And by the way, the music "pause" isn't made with the volume control. It uses "music.unpause()" give it a check ^^
Thanks again for the video and the review! I'm so deeply grateful

haha no problem, making the video is easier than making a game. The end of sections reward part is a really good idea, going with sonic Inspiration you could combine it with a timer, that way the coins still feel good but also collecting them fast and moving on could be a factor, the end of level time can be converted to more score or what not.
Don't worry to much about the back ground tbh it never got in the way of gameplay. I tend to nitpick great game more since I have many more nice things I could say about the game.
Thanks for the feedback Gladiador ^^
And don't worry I can perfectly understand you.
This time I wanted to opt for a checkpoint system instead of separated levels, and the story could be more complex but I was running out of time and literally had to make the story dying of fatigue ;-;
gotta try your game by the way! ^^

Hey Ogaiht I'm so happy to see you here!!
I'm also waiting for your next game, hope that we can jam together someday ^^
Your rating means a lot for me ^^ and I am so deeply grateful that you enjoyed it!
Excellent game! Movement is very polished and the visuals are good. I'd love to know if you made the music yourself, because it's great! Only minor issue I found is the camera. In a few places you can't see what's ahead.
Here's an example (You can't really see how much further the spikes on the ceiling go):
Other than that I think it's quite enjoyable game. Great entry!

Hey Virtu, the music is from public domain except for the sound effects that i've made using bfxr, sorry for the camera issue, i will try to solve the problem with the camera and that zone after the voting period ^^
