How does you game fit the theme?
The theme is It is Not Real. This is a vertical platformer where some platforms are fake! Also it has a dream and nightmare like theme which are also not real things.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
DragonRuby provides a bunch of sample game projects that are very bare bones. I started with the vertical platformer example for the programming side. The assets for music, sound, and art were credited in the game description. One sound effect used for the jump sound was from 8Bit Canaripac which have purchased from itch.io. I altered it by changing the pitch.

Simple fun game. I found the fall speed a little slow when trying to get back up after falling through the floor.

Cool concept and nice graphics! but I wish the monster was A little slower. Since it goes at the same speed as the player, you mistakes are permanent no matter how hard you try.

I love this concept! Maybe a scoreboard in the future would add more replayability. I absolutely love the graphics! Keep it up, I cant wait to see what you do in the future!

Loved your audio and the feeling of the controls! The idea of the game is also well thought out.

I felt it was missing some indication of when the level was going to end, or a scoreboard. 

Regardless, I had fun playing it. Good job! :)

Cool game! I just didn't know if there was an end.

I like the basic concept of the game. The music was good. I would have liked to see a score and maybe a little more difficulty by adding enemies.

The demon noises took me by surprise when I had my first big fall ahaha, got me good I was spooked! I think it'd be cool to add some sort of measurement of how far you got so you can try to beat it the next time. Overall though, it was fun, great job :D

This reminds me of one of the classic game I played before where you have to go up as high as you can and avoid the one below. But this one took a twist of platforms disappearing. Good job! :) 

Very nice and really great sound effect and music: it’s really effective in setting the mood.

Cool game! You did a great job by taking a mechanic that already exists and making it fit with the theme. The only criticism I have is that the gravity felt just a little bit slow. Good job!

Had me from the intro song. Super creepy! I’ve had it stuck in my head all day. Fun game and pretty cool concept. Makes me want more from these guys!

nice game! i liked the art but it lacks the feeling of the difficulty

Submitted

Nice little game. Personally it's a bit hard to differentiate a fake cloud with a real one which makes it hard for no good. Also, its hard to run away from the monster thing, especially when its right next to you. It might be intentional idk.

Still pretty fun!

Great concept and I love the charming art, feel, and sound design! I do think the game is a bit repetitive and would probably also benefit from a score counter.

Submitted

I really like the idea and I think you got the difficulty just right. You can just about tell which clouds are fake without it being too easy. The sound design is great and I love the look of the hands clawing upwards. Good job!
