Once the issues others have pointed out are fixed you'll have a solid platformer!

Nice Work even if there are some bugs. I really like the graphic !

Developer

Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it!

As others have said, the colliders are too large and having to start over from the very beginning is pretty punishing. The jump sound effect is a bit low while the success sound is very loud. It looks nice and well presented for a first game.

Pretty good for a first game! The movement works well. Since you asked for constructive criticism, though, here are the two biggest problems I found:

1. The hitboxes/colliders are way too large. I could clearly see I didn't touch the enemies when I died, and I didn't touch the flag when I won the level. Usually in good platformers, the hitboxes are a bit smaller than the sprites, so there's no doubt the player hit the object.

2. Having to restart the game all over and redo easy levels just to get back to the harder level causes needless frustration. I'd rather just start at the beginning of each level when I die.

There's also a lot of little things that would improve the game, but those two are the most important in my opinion. Good luck with your future games! :)

Thank you so much! I will most definitely fix the problem with the hit boxes and restarting at the beginning of the game.

Physics are good here, I agree with the others that there should be some kind of checkpoint. At least at the start of the current level that you're on. Also, it may just be my browser, but the menu buttons are shifted all the way to the left side of the window, upon a death. Regardless, you've got a fine platformer going on, so keep up the good work.

I never even noticed the issue of the main menu. When I went into full screen it fixed the problem. Do you have any idea how to fix it when your not in full screen? And thank you for the feedback!

Like some others have mentioned, waypoints would be nice, but it’s a good looking platformer. Good work.

It was a little annoying that I had to start over from the beginning each time I died :p

Was a fun game but checkpoints would have been nice.

Those tiny platforms over the spikes! xD Really fun platformer, very challenging and the art is nice too!  Great job on this!!

That was a last minute decision that I am so glad I added. lol

Fun platformer! I really liked the main character sprite. I could go for some check-points, but otherwise I enjoyed it a lot!

Developer

Looking back on it I agree it is a bit too difficult.
