Hi man! Game is cool, but it surely needs fixes on collision points. What's the engine you're using? I noticed that you put squared collision boxes even on spikes, and this makes the game too much difficult and at the same time why should you put collision points like this on spikes? I was really happy about the checkpoints tho, at least I didn't have to go back everytime ahahah

It's hard but i figured out after few... or a lot of attempts xD The game is annoying and i think that's the point xD I like it, good job!

I like the running dialogue you have throughout the game.  I agree that the game is quite hard, but I do like that you don't have to start from the beginning every time.

Hello, I don't want to be too harsh, but the lack of graphics is quite displeasing to the eye, but it isn't a big deal for a 3 day project. Now, let me move onto the main problem of the game. As it is, your game is hard, not challenging, but just hard and the main reason is that the gravity is too low, while the obstacles' velocity is too high. Once the player has jumped, the amount of time it takes to reach the ground is ruining everything, obstacles become hard to dodge and it's a bit annoying. Other than this it's just a simple platformer so I can't offer any more advice, but I really like the music you've got going, I can see that you put effort into this, technical skills like artistry and game design will come naturally so keep making games, sorry for not offering any more constructive criticism. All and all this is a good effort, well done.

I really liked the particles, but I found the jump a bit unresponsive. Still, despite it's simplicity, there are elements to make a good platformer if it gets expanded. Nice work!

Insane game and super fun
