Challenging platformer. I included it in my Wowie Jam 2.0 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

It didn't feel too great to be limited by such a low jump, but I think there is a lot of fun to be had if you get used to it, but also I found that I got the game to the point where it became unplayable due to what I shot. If there were secret hidden no-collision walls, they were not telegraphed so, not sure what to look for. For the sake of learning experience, I'd say it's never a good idea to put your player in a position that they feel locked down so, if you have alternatives, there has to be a way from them to be prepared what to look for at the beginning of the game, perhaps some very subtle sparks of flickering of bugged areas?
The controls feel extremely nice in my opinion and the shooting has some impact behind it. Good job :D
I like this game very much, it is very fun. I would only adjust the jumps a bit since they don't feel very natural. Great game!
Good game :D. but it could use better controls as the jump feels very unresponsive. other then that its an alright game. :DDDD
if you would like to test my game:
I must be a little rusty lol, took me like 20 tries to get past that first jump section with the lava haha. Fun and challenging for sure! I like the look of the game with the fixed wide camera too. Perhaps add a bit more linear drag/friction on your player character or lower deceleration, feels a bit slippery like walking on ice. But maybe that's intended, but many think slippery controls are taboo haha. If you make it look like it's a snow world that would sell the feel for sure too. Great job making a cool platformer game! Please check out mine if you have time.
Some more checkpoints would be nice, but nice controls, feel snappy and sharp. Had a good experience ;-)
I thought my "W" key was dying :(
Also, I liked the little tune you had but didn't like the moments of silence.
Otherwise a nice little game :)

Neat platformer game!
my main complaint is that the movement is not that tight and so seemingly easy jumping parts are very difficult. I think the easiest fix is to increase the deacceleration and acceleration of the player, this will make the game less momentum based tho, but alot tighter to control. Also sometimes the jump button didn't seem to trigger and at other times I couldn't double jump.
The movement was a bit hard for me to learn, but I liked the simple design and the sounds. Nice one
FUN GAME! Tho the movement was not that tight, the player is a bit heavy altho moving left and right is smooth so sort of un cosistent but overall fun game to play would love to see more :D
