Not bad.  I love your graphical style, but I do think you need a third color to help contrast things.  The game itself reminds me a lot of Downwell, but your one hit death system in this game doesn't fit the inherent flaws that come with vertical falling.  I also think your fire rate is too slow, and the enemies attack to fast.  Not bad though.

As soon as I found out I could wall jumped it took me 2 minutes to see if my character would come back down! I liked the art, but theres quite a few bugs unfortunately that made it hard to play. Hope you make some updates, would love to play it again!

Developer

Wow looks really good ! I think it needs some balace is harder than my game LOL and maybe a score counter to know how far you get.But overall is great!

Wow, it's really cool and cute. You should balance it, cause it's so hard not to fall on an enemy. But I liked it, so many details and enjoyable atmosphere :)

It looked interesting but I was not able to get past the first dialogue. I tried pushing buttons but nothing worked..

Developer

press enter, please

Submitted

Of course I tried that, lol

I like the graphics and the bullet creating particles when you hit something! Sometimes you can fall right on top of an enemy, like I fell on top of the king at the end, maybe you could add that if you fall on top of an enemy you damage it to avoid frustrating the player. A little tip is to also make the button for next text to be Spacebar, as it's the same button used for jumping. Good job dude, I enjoyed playing your game!

Procedural games are really dynamic! I loved the pixel art style in the game and melody is still humming in my mind... well done game!

Looks really fun, but the game got stuck at "Hello traveler"

Developer

you need to continue the dialogue by pressing enter)

I tried that but it didn't work. 🤔

This is a noice game, man. the only thing I'd personally change is when you first fall down to the first platform, have it always not have an enemy. cause I always jumped on stray dogs and slugs. I only got to the bottom once. I didn't beat the boss, however.
