Fantastic entry. I had a blast with this on stream and left a lot of feedback while playing if you want to watch the playback. Bottom line: awesome entry and can't wait to see more from you in future rounds.

THIS WAS SO COOL! You're art style is outta this world! Im super excited to see any more levels that come from this game. I dont really have any suggestions as far as level design (Im not good at platformers) or art (your art is way better than mine).

Developer

Thank you! Just got done playing your level and really enjoyed it!

The mechanics and controls are great, and I love the art style! In regards to the zoom, I personally liked the 2x zoom better.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! 2x zoom seems to be the more liked option!

Developer

Feels great to control, looks awesome and definitely a unique vibe to the location. I would like to see more!

Developer

Thank you!

Really nice mechanics! I liked the sound effects that the left and right click made and just sat there making drum beats with the sounds lol! The movement was very fluid! Great job! Also, while the larger field of view is nice, i feel that having it closer to the player, like the default mode, makes it feel more immersive. Great job!

Developer

Haha the sounds were very last minute, I'm glad you enjoyed them! Thank you for the feedback!

I love the artwork, really unique level. 

Developer

Thank you! I really enjoyed the art and atmosphere of your submission as well! Good luck!

This is sick! Very impressive artwork, I have to begin stalking you online!
Great mechanics and fighting skillset on the character as well, really enjoyed your focus on the world and leaving the player blank, along with your statement against damage etc. Thumbs up"

The colour palette adds so much to the creepy world, with the shading, animations and the dismembered Patrick... wow you sure went for it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I didn't even realize how much the big boy looked like Patrick and now I can't un-see it.

Submitted

i can't unsee that either help

The art and setting for the game is really well done, loving the crystals coming towards the character as well as the enemies

Developer(+1)

Thanks! They were a challenge to pixel up!

Developer

Thank you!

Excellent art! Love the animations and the small details like the swords on the ground. This could definitely sell in the asset store. Full marks from me!

As a big fan of parallax myself, I would recommend you hook it up to your camera position instead of your player position, and also make sure your layers consistently increase/decrease in brightness from front to back to sell the effect. Currently there are a few rocks that feel like they are the wrong distance away.

J is a good scale to keep the game at, you can zoom out to K if you ever have any big monuments you want the player to see.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! I'll try fixing the parallax stuff for later rounds if possible. 

Submitted(+1)

Parallax effects are enjoyable

Developer

Thank you! 

Submitted(+1)

Very nice and well done graphics, you put the effort in for sure! Creepy, intriguing parallax world setting. Can’t help but wonder more about the looming eye.

oh and as requested, on preferred zoom level: actually nothing seemed to change when pressing j or k in the browser? Though after I collected all the coins, I did get a much more zoomed out view that showed the entire stage, maybe that’s what you mean initially (in which case, yes, highly prefer the zoomed in version, so I see all the good art!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Sorry the zoom thing wasn't working for you, I'll look into that!
