Hey Guys!

This was my first jam ever! I worked alone on the game, but i learned a lot from it.

1. Timeframe, i lost like 2 days, to take some time with my friends, and i didn't know i'll lose so much time with it, my game hasn't got any sound or music beacause of this. So next time, i'll do a normal time frame, and try to do all the stuff the game is need.

2. Tried to implent and work stuff i didn't know perfectly, or not did long ago, only with tutorial videos, so i got like 2-3 feature that not got in the final game.

3. Someone rated my game and said that the "tutorial" is very long and can't skip it... i didn't realized it too be long, but yeah, it's lacks a skip button, i thinked about it, but didn't get in the game.

I'll be better prepared for the next jam, got so much to learn from.

But i had so much fun working with this game, and that's what's matters :) I hope, you guys had so much fun like me working on your games.

I did a lot of things that I haven't done before:

- camera shake

- unity particle system (I heard about all the hype. Boys and girls, it's REAL. It's easy to use and incredibly flexible)

- making a platformer player controller with custom physics, all from the ground up

- made a web build

- checkpoint system

- cute art. It turns out even I can make something look cute even though I'm terrible at art.

- a volume slider. Even though I couldn't implement music in time, now I know how to do it.

- squash & strecth animations

- button navigations with the arrows

- I can't make an easy game. Even if I think it's not that hard, its hard

- One week is a short amount of time. I started really working on my game at about the 4th day mark. Before that I just worked 1-2 hours max per day. Thats not enough with the scope I was aiming for. I thought a week is longer than this... For my 2nd jam I will know better

Anyways I had a lot of fun during this jam and I hope all of you did too. If you wanna check it out: https://itch.io/jam/vimjam/rate/768008
