The pixel art is nice, although the platforming is kind of clunky.

The player is not affected by the physics of the moving platforms, making is difficult to ride them as you have to move with the platform in order to prevent yourself from falling.  

The surprise aspect is interesting with varied projectile strength but can be a bit unreliable for clearing out big mobs.  

Lack of bgm or sound effects is also kind of disappointing but understandable

Fun little platformer. Nice graphics, though it's incredibly annoying that the platforms move out from under you if you don't keep walking. The shooting is pretty good, as are the death animations. A bit of music and sound would be nice.

Hey :)

Visual

Visually, the game is pleasing. The bullets feel a bit weird, but the bg and the platforms look really good :)

Audio

No BGM nor SFX, the game feels really sad without them!

Tutorials

Well, no real tutorial to explain how to move, how to shoot, etc.

Gameplay

  • I liked that sometimes, when you shoot, there are different actions
  • What I disliked, however, is that I have no idea when I can or cannot shoot (a tutorial would've helped)
  • The player doesn't move with the platforms, therefore it's a bit hard to play on little platforms 
  • Movements feel nice, great job :)

Fun

The game is quite fun ! :) I enjoyed it 

Bugs

  • The fire's hitbox is extremely large
  • When you're on a platform, it becomes a bit blurry

Theme

That's in the theme, good job :)

the artwork is amazing, specially the background. The gameplay was fun, and it would be even better if the moving plataform interaction with the player was inertial, however this is just a detail. The game overall is one of the cutest i've seen so far, and when I reached the end i really wanted to continue playing! Great job!!

Solid entry! Echoing some past comments here but some sounds would be nice, and also sticking to those pesky moving platforms!

Good platformer, the animations for santa and the goblins things are quite good too!

Very cute, character controls really nicely. The art is gorgeous, especially the animations! It would be better if you stuck to a platform, I couldn't get past that tiny one at the top because of that issue (it took us forever to figure out how to implement that in our one so I get it). The things like sound that are missing are made up for for me by how polished the control and the art is, given the 48 hour limit. Great job!

Other comments touched the big issues, some sound would be nice, even you just going "boop" into the mic for the shooting sound would've been great. Leveldesign is good but difficulty is inflated by the fact that you dont stick to moving platforms. Well done anyways!

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely would have added some sfx if I'd had the time to get around to it :/

Its a nice platformer, sound department is lacking funds

The game artwork and level design are good. I think it could have some sounds and music and maybe some more levels, since the game is too short. The gameplay is fun and rather challenging when on a moving platform.

I'd appreciate if you could check and give a feedback on our game -> https://hadryans.itch.io/neongon
