Nice visuals and audio! The character was a bit too slippery, though; it was easy to slip into spikes. I think the spike hitboxes are too wide, too, which made hitting them even easier (and more frustrating).

Project MoonshotQuite difficult platformer, I'd make the spikes hitbox a little smaller and shorten the dash cooldown. Nice audio and graphics anyway.

MoonWitchesReally nice visuals and sound design! Love the animations of the little square guy, he's so cute!
Had some trouble with the platforming and wasn't able to get very far once the spike area came up. I'm usually not bad at platformers but really struggled with this one :( The spike hitboxes seemed to be bigger than they appear and timing my jumps and dashes was really tough, I couldn't really get used to it. Still had fun trying though!

The First WaveVery nice! I'm glad I had my gamepad handy for this one. Still quite tricky. Influenced by games like Celeste or Meat Boy I presume? I liked the simple graphics.
Since I know you like platformers, you might like to try our game.

Lumi and the Dark NightGraphics are nice and I like the level design. I had to be careful with how quickly I pressed the keys, because the key combo of ctrl + w closes the tab (at least in firefox and chrome)

Catapult, cat space programHey, I appreciate the feedback - this highlights that I need to demonstrate the usage of core mechanics more thoroughly in future.
I've added an image below the game to clarify.
You are able to modify the dash using directional inputs to dash in any direction you wish, which when combined with jumping should allow you to clear any obstacle.
Thanks for taking the time to try out my submission and leave a comment. I'll be sure to give yours a try!
