The black and strong red color is straining on eyes... The idea of scaling yourself up is nice, but it's hard to enjoy it with current controls (as was said before, jumping and climbing stairs are hard when you can't jump while touching a wall). Given more polish, this could turn out to be quite a fun mechanic!
Yeah. I definitely agree with your points. I didn't work on it for long and I just barely got the prototype map in before I realized I didn't have time to actually finish it. The movement was a nightmare to work with with the scaling mechanic. Thanks for the feedback!
I played your game and I think it is a really cool concept. I did have some issues completing the jump after the second size lock. I also had a lot of issues climbing stairs at any size. I think with a little more time this could be a pretty good game. I would also really appreciate if you could play our game, any feedback is appreciated.
I like the concept of changing the size of the character in a plateformer. Maybe adding a reset button directly in the game and some checkpoints coud be a good idea, having to go to the menu to reset can be frustrating. Sometimes the scale locks hide the text and it becomes harder to read, and simples stair treads can be hard to climb.
I agree with a lot of those. The scale lock blocking the text can’t be fixed (I think).I think it’s just a unity but. The stair treads I agree with. The easiest way to climb them is scaling all the way up and moving slightly side to side as you go up. I kind of wanted it to be a rage game, then I realized it’s more of a puzzle game, but that was when I had to submit it. Thanks for reviewing it
