Nice art, this game seems to be a survival horror. Having a story and cutscenes is really cool, it gives off the vibe of a dark, bedtime horror story for children, especially with the art style.
There are quite a few bugs I noticed; I’ll list some of them in case it helps:
- If you crouch and then jump when going though somewhere underneath, the player gets stuck in the jump animation gets locked. This can be fixed by adding a condition that prevents the player from jumping while crouching if the ceiling collider is colliding.
- In certain areas, specifically where the book stacks are used as platforms, if you jump around and spam the jump key, the character can get locked in a falling animation and can’t recover unless you restart.
(When the animation got locked, character cannot do anything other than moving left and right or restart)
Some other areas that could be improved:
- After climbing a ledge, the character feels slightly misaligned, like it shifts position before snapping back into place.
- The enemy’s fireball attack feels unavoidable; you can’t jump over it without falling off the platform.
- The horizontal moving platform doesn’t carry the player along, causing the character to slide off instead of sticking to it.
Having the option to restart is very helpful when getting stuck due to these bugs. Overall, there’s definitely room for improvement, but it’s a solid game with potential.
