Maybe I need more sleep but It made me feel a little motion sick, I can't explain why though. The music is great although I didn't hear much of it because I never made it very far before the I died and the track restarted. Which in some ways could be considered a motivation to keep playing but in this case wasn't enough for me so I became irritated the more it restarted and eventually I stopped playing. This was also due to the fact he slimes and the jump are not as well balanced as they could be. I feel as though either the slimes are too big or the jump is too weak. 

I loved the character sprite, the jump animation and the death animation however sometimes after dying I would still be moving and one time it went on for so long I saw the end of the map which made me even less likely to finish playing. 

Overall the game looks amazing and with a few tweaks you have got a game which is really good.

The sprite work and animations of the game is amazing. For the soundtrack, the music was very atmospheric for the gameplay.  Overall great job on the game team Protection of Helm.

This is a real sweet game! Excellent job, very polished.

The sprite work and animations are incredible. Although the game doesn't feel too original in terms of game play, it's still a joy to play. Not much fault to say about this game, other than sometimes it felt easy to keep bouncing on the same enemy and die in one go despite being at full health. The music got a bit tedious after dying multiple times and resetting each time, too, although the choice in music was great and very atmospheric.

All in all, a great game! Good job team Protection of Helm!

Really nice solid movement and the art/music was super nice. Whoever did the animations did a great job.

The jumping mechanic took a while to get the hang of but once I did the game became really fun and inervative changing the regular platforming mechanic of jumping of the enemy to kill them.

Overall the game was really fun  and the art style was amazing well done.

I liked the starting menu but the audio wasnt very nice and the exit button didnt do anything.

Very nice background several layers that gave a pleasant feeling to the game shame that the furthest back image on the first level is a little jittery but I still really liked it. The falling leaves and glowing particles are also really nice addition to the atmosphere of them game. Nice BGM for each of the levels and the breaking hearts SFX is nice however I feel as though there could have been more SFX.

I'm not sure why you fall from the ceiling in the first level but it made more sense in the second level. when you start the game and when you die it's a little strange how you kind of fly off in a random direction. Sometimes the main character gets stuck on the floor and at the 3rd jump if you fall down you don't die and the game has no way for you to reset or quit.

The controls felt responsive and I liked the walking and jumping animations but it was a slight shame that the idle didn't do anything.

The wall jumping was a nice addition but felt a bit over powered as you could spam it and there wasn't really an animation for it.

The slimes felt kind of challenging at first but as I've gotten further they seem to have gotten easy as they don't really move on the third level.

The players hit box seemed an odd size as well as you can put your head through tiles and also how the heart would go behind the tiles on third level.

I didn't like the that there was no pause menu and after you complete the game when you click on play the game closes itself down.

Overall I thought that this game had some nice features and could have been very good but there was quite a bit letting it down.

Such a good art style, everything is so consistent, love it. Only complaint really is that the camera movement felt a bit sudden when moving, some smoothing would make it such a better experience to play.

Submitted

For me I couldn't get the game to run because the archive was damaged. But it looks like a good game nonetheless!

Nice game art is good its fun to play and smooth to play controls are responsive and i enjoyed it.  It did crash once or twice on me but still a lot of fun.

I loved the idea, the art and the soundtrack. The movement was so smooth and easy to control and move around in which I really liked. 


One thing I was confused by is how you deal with the slimes, there is no clear instruction on how to play either

Submitted

Once i understood the jump mechanics properly this game went from annoying to pleasant but hard.

The 3rd level I'm struggling on currently, but the mechanics work nicely.

Some of the platforms are ruthless, and the size of the slime definitely provides a nice challenge


My favourite part of the game must be the music used with it though

Well done :)

Played well, however the enemies often got stuck on each other making the rest of teh level impossible or jumps were too dificult to get done and the  game seemed to jitter when moving backwards expecialy in the first stage

Submitted

The art style of the game is really nice and the sound is great i really enjoyed it!

A few problems i did run into, sometimes i would just get stuck moving for no reason possibly an issue with the collision of the level. I also found it at times quite hard to jump the slimes especially if they are moving away from you, if landing on top of the slime you also lose multiple health rather than losing 1 heart and being pushed away from the enemy.

I did at one point fall down a hole and there didn't seem to be a way to teleport back to the start so i was just stuck running around underneath the level.

Overall a great looking game with some cool features!
