Great music! Fun!

Nice level design! A good amount of modifiers, but I think the game was easiest just avoiding all the chests :P

The visuals for this game are absolutely stunning, but I really, really hate the death sound. Especially since one of the main gameplay mechanics was to keep dying to get the right boost...


Who did the art assets on your team??

Hey ! I really liked the game, good job! :)

Here's a more in-depth review:

Visual

I love this artstyle, it works perfectly! So far the most pleasing visual experience I've had.

Sound

The sounds work really great, only the sound of death is a bit unpleasing imo.

Tutorials

Great job on that, you know what you have to do. The only negative point imo is the lack of explanation about the boosts you have. No big deal though.

Gameplay

  • Simple but effective gameplay with a decent pace, I liked it!
  • Hitboxes just feel a bit weird sometimes, and I've often been killed with the enemy I killed, maybe a little latency between the hit and their death?
  • The idea behind the surprise bonuses/maluses is awesome, it makes the game way funnier!

Fun

5/5 on the fun aspect. I laughed a lot while playing!

Bugs

I encountered a few bugs while playing, with the hitbox as said in the gameplay part, but also with the malus "enemy popping" when in the mine, the enemy stays above the ceiling but may kill you when you jump. Also a few problems with the positioning on the platforms, making it extremely hard when you're invisible as you're somtimes stuck in the platform. And a visual bug when you die, sometimes your body keeps moving.

Theme

Completely in the theme, good job for using it to create a nice mechanic, that was lovely :)

Thanks for the review. 

There is definitely some work to do around the hit boxes, and plenty of other things to I would love to clean up if I had more time. 

I'm glad you enjoyed.

Good escalation of levels! I definitely got a few laughs out of some of those pick ups.

So good! Love a classic platformer, and this one's a lot of fun!
