Cool concept, I would like to see this more polished and evolved!

Salute to your dedication.

You know, there's a billion trillion platformers out there. People have made every platformer you can think of -- and yet, very few (none that I know of) feature elaborate enemy AI like this. I think there's like a whole genre buried in here. You may be onto something kind of huge. If you just roll it back to a just a normal hero story platformer but have enemies with this complex of behavior routines, it quickly becomes something very unique -- especially if there's lots of enemies with different behaviors.

Very cool. Gets my gears turning :)

I appreciate that, thanks for playing!

Cool idea, would be nice to see it expanded after the jam.

Thanks for playing! I will try and update the game a little according to the feedback

I liked the main mechanics but it's not explored a lot. I had fun playing through though. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!, do you have any suggestions for how I could explore this more? I was kind of stuggling to use this to make good levels

I enjoyed this idea and some good fun playing through. Wish you started with an enemy selected or could cycle through them (personally for game feel). Be proud, you did something cool here.

Developer

I really like the idea of being able cycle through enemies, thanks for the suggestion and for playing!

Quite fun! Good job. I especially liked when you could select from more enemies. And the player jump adds a lot to the fun factor.

Developer

Thanks!
