Didn't finish the game, but it's got potential. The level design is interesting and sprites fit together nicely. Only thing holding it back for me are player controls, which could be easily improved by rebinding the keys and adding a lil bit of feedback for the player. Other than that, pretty cool!

Welcome... thank you for yoru feedback. Yeah, I think the fire could be faster. The game already felt so short and easy to me. Maybe it's not for others :D
WASD was intended, I think in my last game I had both ^^
Where did you fall of the screen? Last Level? I think there is something odd close to the end q.q
Thank you for feedback! Stay tuned after the jam please :)
The exclamation marks are a bit of a visual tutorial pointing out important or dangerous things. The main reason for their existence is that they existed tho! I have some other signs which simply didn't make it into the game yet :D
Yeah, walljump was intended to be used where double jump is not enough. In the end wall jump is quite easy, a bit to easy...but it could be harder later on with spikes at the walls or so.
My first sidescroller in Godot. Yeah, the physics do their sometimes. I'm okay with the result for now x)
I had a jetpack on w in my version, that is mostly why not just space for jump, more like moba conrols hehe
The UI would be an idea, ofc time expensive q.q
Friction gotta be done! SFX are a time question ofc, so is music.
Finishing the game without climbing isn't that easy! some levels can be annoying that way o.o
that aesthetics are great, ambience, tasteful use of lights
it’s short and simple, with very quirky controls… never saw anyone do E and Q for the purposes you used them.
the movement feels fine, it’s a type of slower, more puzzley platformer with the very specific type of wall jump… I think you picked a lane for how it controls and executed it pretty well (many flavors of platforming, matter of design, not better/worse - you can check my game for a completely different take)
I have a few points of improvement:
-
some platforms were quite hard to see because the background happened to be also darker in a color that was very similar to the platform itself. I know you are going for an aesthetic but might want to make some adjustments for gameplay… maybe make sure there’s light next to moving platforms
-
the fires take foreeeeeeeeeeever on and very little off, it’s so much waiting, could tone those times down a bit
-
in levels where you are close to the bottom of the screen, if your character is even partially off screen, you die… that feels very unfair. could probably make it so if you are at least 75% off screen
-
it’s missing some “life”… some animation/sound when you die or when you press a button.
Nice that you like the graphics... the score is counting death tho. First place is currently a negative thing to achieve! hehe :D
But let's see how long you will hold it. I wonder how 3 people rated the game without making it to the end. Until now the game is not rly hard or long... at least I thought tho q.q
Come by after the rating if you would like more compled and polished levels :)
