I like a console environment! I think it missing some kind of leading feature, struggled to find out where to go. The dying fx is cool!
Thanks! I tried adding some sort of green line to guide the player, but I can understand how that might be confusing.
Very stylistic arcade like feel to it. Audio was good though some kind more present background music would be a great add on. I found a couple bugs, mostly due to mashing buttons and having multiple screens up (had two blue beans at once one time XD). For just a few days not a bad game. Definitely couldn't find an end either...
I love the style (nice die animation). I haven't seen many people use Makecode Arcade (I had to do some for school but found it a bit fiddly, compared to similar engines like Scratch, but that's just personal preference), but you made a really fun game with it.
Feedback:
The jumping is a bit floaty, maybe add more gravity. It's also a bit annoying that you go back to the menu when you die rather than the start of the level. I also got this bug where I could only move along the bottom and the screen had a white overlay:
With that being said, it's a really fun little arcade game, with a nice story. Good job, and keep making games!
Very cool game! I really like the minimalist art style, the gameplay was really nice too. I think maybe there was some bug because I also didn't find anything but the platforms, I hope you can find the issue but overall this is a really neat game! Good job!
I didnt find a ending of the plataform. that is normal?

I'm bamboozled. What do you mean?
on the left corner there what no ending of the stage that I could find out. It was just the plataforms that you could touch and those you couldn't.
Perhaps you didn't follow the green line, and wen't down a completely different path. If you didn't, that's odd, and I'll look into it.
Quite minimalist game. The art is nice and the physics of the player is good. I was just loose when i arive at the far east of the map. It's hard to figure out where we need to go. I think it miss objectives.
Nice, what engine did you use?
Thank you! I believe the engine is called Arcade, and I used the Python language in it. Its supposed to be able to make games like they were in the 90s or late 80s.
