i love smuglu's design
cool name.

there is a bug by the way
on one level I got two equal numbers.
nice game .
also please rate my game if you haven't .

I really liked the animation and music. I think this is a very impressive project as the first project not following a tutorial.  I also would not at all beat yourself up for having to look things up. More than coding, understanding how to research a topic and distill the relevant knowledge into your application is a valuable skill. So I would congratulate yourself for diving into the unknown and learning something new. 

I ran into an issue where I was moving at mach speed in the 2nd room template and this would allow me to clip through the wall sometimes. But not a huge issue. 

Excellent job!

I like the character design

I'm scared to ask, but what does Smoglu do with all the numbers later? There was a possibilty to leave the bounds of the level in the upper screen, but the game continued if you left at the right spot nevertheless. Smoglu looks really scary, very well done.
