Really nice game with cool graphics!

Gameplay is satisfying :D Good job!

The opposite of Jump King, really nice twist to it if you took inspiration from it. The character feels heavy and difficult to control but for the kind of game I think it's a plus. Putting fall damage at the heart of the game is really unique. Some things I didn't really like are level layouts, rooms felt too crowded or too empty, and the resoulution I think it was to big, it made the player look so tiny and the shader look like you had 4 colors. With lower resolution and smaller rooms it could improve a lot.

Hmm a bit stuck with what am I suppose to do. But I like the graphic. What is the technique?

Congrats on your first game!

It took me a while to figure out that this game has fall damage. At first, it just seemed like I was dying to invisible things. The 1-bit graphics are nice, but make it harder to tell what's going on.

There seems to be a bug with the fall damage, it sometimes kills me for very small falls, particularly after respawning at a checkpoint. Perhaps you forgot to update a variable in that situation.

It feels unfair for a checkpoint to force you into an almost impossible section because you missed a secret passage. Unless you can get back up somehow.

私は日本語を勉強中なので、理解の助けになるかもしれないので、これを翻訳してみます。日本語が下手ですみません。

最初のゲームにおめでとう!

このゲームで転落死できる理解するのに時がかかりました。目に見えない物のせいで死んだと思いました。1-bit graphicsがすごいけど、見にくい。

転落死のバグがあるようです。特にcheckpointにrespawnする後、短い落下ので死にます。もしかして、variableを変えること忘れました?

隠し通路を見ないので、checkpointゲットので、戻れないことが不公平ですね。

This was really well made. What stuck out to me was the amazing sound design from this, especially the wall slide. It was so satisfying to hear!

I liked the sound design of this game and the background art is also very nice. I'm not sure what the character is supposed to be haha

I was not a big fan of the screen shake each time the character hits the ground, it made the character feel extremely heavy, and seems a bit out of place with the rest.

Edit: I could not get it to run on Firefox, but it seems to work as intended in Chrome

I enjoyed it!

Really Really Enjoyed this Game. Love how the character feels to play. Great work!

Nice visuals! I think I beaten it but not sure because it got softlocked in a black screen.

My only feedback will be that the ornamental black windows should be dithered too because they are easily mistaken with the black walls and platforms (It took me a little to realize some black rectanlges where solid because i thought they would be background details as the windows).

Cheers!

フィードバックありがとうございます。

1.黒い画面について→おそらく暗転用の解除の処理の不手際で、バグだと思われます。申し訳ありません。(リトライボタンを押すと復帰できるかもしれませんが、望ましい状態ではありません)

2. 黒い窓の表現方法について→同意できる意見です。開発者自身が過小評価していた問題でした。何らかの方法で背景として認識できるように調整する必要がありそうです。

Thank you for your feedback.

1. Regarding the black screen: This is probably a bug caused by poor processing of the blackout release. I'm sorry. (You may be able to restore it by pressing the retry button, but this is not a desirable state.)

2. Regarding the way the black window is expressed: I agree with this opinion. It was an issue that the developer himself underestimated. It seems that some adjustment is needed so that it can be recognized as a background.

Hey, this is a cool game, lots of "juice" going on and the dithering is really nice. I especially love how heavy you feel when you fall.

The character can be a little hard to see sometimes against the background and every time I beat the first stage I got stuck on a black screen.

フィードバックありがとうございます!"Juice"な部分に注目していただけて嬉しいです。

キャラクターと背景:ライティングや明暗差について考慮と調整が足りない部分があったかもしれません。ご意見ありがとうございます。

「暗転バグ」:高い確率で発生しているようです。申し訳ありません。

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you noticed the "Juice" part.

Characters and backgrounds: There may have been some areas where the lighting and contrast were not considered or adjusted enough. Thank you for your opinion.

"Blackout bug": This seems to occur with a high probability. I'm sorry.
