Pretty fun little game! I thought the art style was pretty nice, and the brick sprite was pretty cute in my opinion! I couldn't complete it, though. I got to a part in the second level where there were two vertical spike patches on the walls and one of those boost tokens. I just could not get past it. When I hit the boost token, it wouldn't boost me up, and the spikes had some unforgiving collision detection in my opinion. Other than that, this was pretty good!
I really liked the graphics, sound, and story, and I think it’s great that John Brick is finally getting the recognition he deserves!
Initially I thought that I was just very bad at the game but now I’ve read the other comments about the difficulty on level 2 I feel a bit better about myself :D I had to just dash past all the initial enemies otherwise I took too much damage before reaching the vertical bit with spikes on the wall, and then when I eventually got past the pit with the two little boost disk things I found that there were even more of those vertical spikes so I had to stop at that point.
But it’s really cool and I’d like noob friendly version so I can complete it :D
I love the idea and story you chose! The brick character is so cute and I love his little anime arms when he's running. I think being the chosen brick to fight for the tower against the construction workers is such a cute idea. I had trouble with the controls though. I loved that you painted on the walls the instructions on how to do different things. I could seem to get past the wall on the second floor with the spikes where you needed to jump up. I think I needed to jump and use the left mouse click but I couldn't be sure. I kept dying there. Maybe put a clue there to figure out how to get past that part or make it a little easier?
I loved the little hammers being thrown by the bad guys. They definitely killed me a few times. lol. The music was lovely and made the game feel more retro and cute.
i really like the idea, but that's one hell of a difficulty spike from level 1 to level 2, especially since it has no checkpoints. make sure you take note of how difficult your levels are, because the jump from one to the next is quite clear. unless, of course, you WANT your game to be hard, but that would only make players scrutinize your game's design even more. still, though, you clearly got a knack for making fun platformers, so keep at it. good job on this. consider trying my game as well!
Thanks so much for the feedback! I realised I got carried away with the difficulty when I had some of my friends playtest it, I'll definitely be more aware of it in the future.
