Wow, this looks very impressive for you working on this solo!
Here’s my two cents though:
- Got stuck here in the tutorial
- Movement feels a bit too floaty for what you’re making, if it’s a parkour thing, then you want more precise controls, but still floaty enough to your liking if that’s your intention
- Turn speed might look fast but is too slow.. feels weird on wall jumps, but honestly what makes or breaks it in terms of movement
- Consider coyote time, good for every platformer
- Dash -> Immediate Jump is very satisfying, hope you can make use of that!
- It’s a parkour game, no one will bat an eye if you just keep run always on, unless you have a reason not to use it.
- Although I love that you have sprint as a toggle! Kinda jarring that it’s been kept on revival or on restart…
- Combat feels weird actually. There’s no feedback (except for the boss) when the attacks hit and I just keep spamming attacks.
- It did feel like the enemies die for some time than from my hits after spamming attacks on them a bunch…
- Replace the ledge grab animation with a jump, that way it can be used to dash immediately and not awkwardly break time and momentum from movement.
- Losing 10 seconds from falling is already too harsh in a parkour level. In fact, you already lose time going from a checkpoint and back to where you were already, that’s enough punishment. I can see it being totally fine being used during a boss fight though.
- The box lights feel like breakable objects to get more time since the small orbs are used to recover time… consider changing the design so that doesn’t happen…
But either way, it looks impressive and can definitely be improved a lot to make it a much better experience, so I sure hope you continue this post-jam, as you have a good game full of potential on your hands!
