Very fun, simple gameplay, making it easy to get into. The animations, especially of the attack and specials with the short pause when doing the ground slam were incredibly satisfying. Well done!
i like the game but it makes me mad also i would like some other things added but other than that really good game 4/5
damn man
really fun, and a good time waster, It fits the theme quite nicelly
Cool game!! I liked the music and loved the art, and the game controls very well! I would have preferred different keys to play with (z x & space were a bit cramped for me) but it's well made and good fun. :D
amazing work, I saw it yesterday on the submissions page and I thought I need to try this and I was not disappointed
great work:D
Good job! The game made me feel very nostalgic! A bit more control would be really nice, but that's just me! Love the way the xp bubbles pop, and follow the character! The sound effect is so satisfying!!
Hi, thanks for the comment. What do you mean by more control? Did you reach all the upgrades? They give you many more options for vertical movement.
Yeah, I don't think I got all of the upgrades, but I got a couple of them and it was really nice. I was thinking more about the horizontal movement - like I would appreciate a bit of control over that so I can land my jumps more efficiently. But I understand if that is the opposite of what you are trying to do here! :)
Really nice game. Liked everything about it. One thing for me was that the positioning of enemies or certain jumps meant that the obstacle couldn't be avoided. But then could be just me being bad at the game.
All the obstacles and enemies should be avoidable, but in some cases it's very hard and requires precise timing, or using the upgrades. It's something to further refine after the jam. The platforming also gets progressively more difficult as you go on.
This is one of my favourite games of the jam so far, it looks, sounds and feels great and I geuinly had a lot of fun playing it. The only thing I would add is a reset button. Amazing game!
GG
That was all kinds of awesome.
Looks and sounds great. You really nailed the controls and the feel and the special abilities kept me playing again and again :)
Be cool to add a bit of persistence, maybe you get to pick one ability to keep after dying?
