- zip the game folder, not the files (correct: Game.zip/Game/Game.exe, wrong: Game.zip/Game.exe)
- I appreciate the 4mb download
- add [Alt+Enter] as a fullscreen toggle
- would be nice for the analog stick to work for movement too
- [Down] to read is unusual, most games do [Up]
- camera pan is way too slow, make it no more than 0.3s, ideally 0.1s or customizable
- I think for a skillcheck game, the camera being so limited is unexcusable, missing shots and losing is fair, but having to memorize out of sight walls for optimal play feels terrible and removes value from physical skill
- hat dropping as health is cute
- "press up or down to look around" even you admit tiny boxed vision is a hindrance, just increase the view sight by 4x and have the game improve dramatically
- toggling line enemies should reset after you die / wait enough time, otherwise you're forcing manual resetting for optimal play
- air movement is pure hell with this camera, clearing sections feels more lucky than rewarding
- don't know if it's intended, but the optimal play on the enemy next to spikes and metal wall is to hit yourself against it, I hope it's not intended, otherwise the only "life" you have being used as a mechanic makes you have no lives and too scary for casual play
- I think it would be nice if you had some leeway, an extra time delay, after the rope pull ends that allows to still jump
- I am not a fan of mob priming (setting up their correct position for a jump)
- I also despise mountain-climber sections (failing a jump lands you few jumps backwards), but I recognize it's a popular setup
- same wall multi jumps with odd-metal plates is just bullshit and you know it with how tight the rope jump timings are
I enjoyed the game quite a bit, but I think I would have enjoyed it much more if not for the artificial resolution and camera limitations, which felt cheap. The frustrations I had weren't the "damn I wish I could clear this" type, more like "damn, I can't wait for consoles to improve, so I can see more of the screen". I cleared the game in about 50min, most of it spent on 4 and 5 bullshit parts. Instead of feeling good about doing it, I hate you as a person.
zip the game folder, not the files
Why though?

Yeah, I didn't have that in mind. Until I added that enemy the levels were completely static so I just reset then player when he dies. Resetting the level makes far more sense of course.

The intended way was to first hook onto the enemy and the onto the ground behind the metal wall while falling. Way to unintuitive mechanic and as you discovered, damage boosting is actually easier in that spot. I'll make it non-mandatory.

Jk, I already have plans to remedy the low resolution and camera issues.

1. when I click download on your zip, the zip shows up at the bottom of the browser
2. when I click the bottom browser zip, 7-zip shows me the contents of the zip
3a. if it's a single folder (correct), I can drag that to wherever I put demo day games
3b. if it's a bunch of garbage files (wrong), I have to now create a new folder for your game so the files don't mix with other demos, which is (click target folder, right click > new folder, give name, click back on the zip window, drag your garbage to the folder) much more inconvenient, and a waste of time that adds up over many bad zips. If you think that's very little work, then do it for me by zipping it right. Or you can keep doing it wrong and I'll just not bother with the game the next time, since now you're doing with full awareness.
