Nice game, was happy to finish it. I think the visuals were very nice, along with the SFX they conveyed a really satisfying feel. I especially liked the effects for dying, and the screen fade.

I have a couple of feedbacks:
-It feels like the CTRL has to be used to perform any kind of platforming. There is not a strategic element to choosing when to spend your energy or when to rest, so I feel like it should be just the default movement.

-The key binding is a bit awkward to hold, it could be instead a key that is easily pressed by your second hand. It's also good practice to give the option for the player to also move with the arrow keys if they are not otherwise used.

Keep up the good work!

Smooth ziplines and cute graphics, a recipe for greatness. Well done with this, great choice for the music too super smooth, along with some nice crunchy SFX.

thank you so much!

The character is so cute, like Kirby !

The tutorial was well made. Movement and jumping are really smooth and feel good.

I really liked the ziplines. Very fun platformer.

The artstyle is really nice. All the background elements are really cool, even if sometimes, you can get confused if it's solid or not because it's 1-bit.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to play it until the end, because of the keyboard controls (try to stick to WASD, Arrows, other letters, and mabye Shift + mabye offer 2 possibilities for the same action like WASD & Arrows or Shift & Z).

Good and cute game !

Thank you so much!

The game was lots of fun and the zip lines were fantastic. Loved the tutorial. Well polished game and I agree with the other comments about a rebind, or optional controls because my hand was cramping by the end.

Nice work.

Developer

yea XD thank you so much

The movement and overall feel of the game are great, it’s really fun to run around and use the ziplines. I usually struggle with platformers, and the last two levels were no exception, my hand was actually hurting because of the controls used in the game. A rebind option would be really appreciated. 

The music also fits really well,  really liked the game, nice work!

Developer

Thank you so much XD yea i agree i should add a rebind XD

The movement is awesome!

Ziplines are very satisfying.

Love the fact that if you just hold the "run" button it runs in place, dont know if its a bug or not, but I would keep it, feels like he is "getting ready to run" in a cartoony way.

Only missing key rebinding and a visual cue to tell when the energy is running low.

Awesome game!

Developer

thank u so much! i agree

Honestly I really loved this game. It reminded me of messing around with online versions of Sonic when I was a kid. The button layout was a bit weird, I would have appreciated the option to use arrow keys and Z and X personally. So overall well done, just a few minor nitpicks that could add some extra polish to the game. Like an animation to denote how we get to new levels and such.

thank u so much for the feedback!

Super awesome game! I really like how you've done the movement, the momentum you have really separates itself from other platformers. I REALLY like that you added checkpoints at each power box too! The level design is really good too, it was quite fun going around especially with the ziplines, I bet you could add a timer and make a speedrunning mode. The visuals and music are really good too, everything fits very well and it's just a good, fun vibe! Really great work, this was very fun!

Great game! The ziplining felt a bit stiff, but it was fun anyways!

Developer

I had a bit of a hard time with the Ctrl key, I kept closing the game tab and other stuff when I pressed the wrong key. Would be nice for the right hand to press some keys too.

I'm not sure if not being pixel perfect was intentional but that gave me a bit of a headache because of  motion sickness.

But still, the art is very nice and the music fits it perfectly.

thank you so much, the not being pixel perfect is intentional to make the movement much better, still thank u so much

Developer

I loved this game so much, the gameplay is fun andit's polished up to a point where I don't know if it's a skill issue on my part but the ziplines sends you to the wrong side

Developer(+1)

thank you so much,  I will check it XD

Sprint CTRL key bind is such a pinky torture. But it wont be a problem once the player or the game could have a way to rebind keys.

Overall the game seems fine, each levels weren't  so vast, so it didn't take me long to get back on track after getting lost.

Developer

Thank you!

Very cool ganem good art assets and cute visuals, with a bit of challenge (music is good too), well done, good game, deserve more comments
