This is a charming game. I thought the art and music worked well together, and I especially liked the background. The surprise element was a little vague, but I did understand at the end. I thought the controls were nice and tight, and the game was fun overall. However, I think the collision detection was a little unforgiving (especially on the ground spikes). Furthermore, restarting the entire game if a player dies is also not pleasant. You could argue that as a design decision, but I do think if you keep it, at least don't replay the opening dialogue every time. Good game though, and good effort!

Developer

Thanks! Appreciate the review.

Collision detection is something I'll have to work on. Nearly everyone complained about the spikes lol. The restart thing was definitely not a design decision it was just the time constraint. Ideally there ought to have been checkpoints.

Thanks for playing =]

Loved the atmosphere! Art and music work really well together ^^

also thanks for the linux build :)

Developer

Thanks 🙂 the lady who did the music is very talented. Her sound cloud is linked in the credits section. I must write to her and thank her.

Nice game, but very difficult. Big plus for Linux version, though the menu was only 1/4 of the screen in the bottom left corner. I could still get into the game, but the terminal showed a number of collision errors such as:

ERROR: body_set_shape_as_one_way_collision: Condition "body->get_space() && flushing_queries" is true.
   At: servers/physics_2d/physics_2d_server_sw.cpp:739.

Following the theme and easy to pickup, good job!

Developer

Thanks very much, sorry about the menu on Linux! I have no idea how that happened lol.

Lovely art style and music! Hitting the jumps right is a bit difficult for me. Nice job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks very much. There was a bug with one of the hit boxes on the fourth frame although I think it was caused by Godot and not me lol.

Thanks so  much! I'm glad you enjoyed the ending. I wanted to have a big boss fight at the end but ran out of time.

Really cool and unique art style, I also like the music.  I agree with the other comments about the hitboxes, however I still really enjoyed this :)

Developer

Thank you. There was a bug with one of the hitboxes on the fourth frame but I have fixed that now.

Great job on this game! :)

Here is a detailed review on how I rate games :)

Visual

I think your game is visually really pleasant, everything fits well together :)

Audio

Nice BGM, it's relaxing and sounds great! There aren't much SFX, but it does its job :)

Tutorial

Unfortunately none :( only a little floating text to say "Use AD to move left and right and space to jump" would've helped! :)

Gameplay

  • The running speed is a bit slow but that's correct
  • The idea of chasing someone made me run without taking my time. Probably unnecessary but I like when the game makes me do things that aren't explicitly needed. 
  • Somehow the size of the obstacles is a bit too huge, I died repeatedly on the same obstacles a lot of times :(

Fun

The game is fun, I always wanted to be a good guy chasing bad guys >:D

Bugs

I didn't encounter any bugs, great job!

Theme

Definitely in the theme :)

Very beautiful graphics, and music is well chosen ! The game is fun and I replayed it a few times ! My only complaint : as there is no checkpoint between each screen, I think the hitboxes could have been a bit more...nice ! But still, it's good !

Developer

Thanks very much! haha yes a checkpoint system would have been a good idea.

Some really nice art.

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Its a nice game but spikes hitbox feels a little strange and I think there's like half a second delay between pressing space and character jumping

Developer

Yeah I think the hitboxes should probably have been a bit smaller and there was a bug with the hitbox on the fourth frame. I fixed the bug on the fourth frame. Thanks for playing.

Lovely atmosphere, was interested in the concept however there seems to be an issue with a jump on the 4th screen between two wheely spikes and could not proceed. It doesn't seem to be from jumping too quickly after the last jump, but specifically from proximity to the spike wheel. Sorry I couldn't continue further, best of luck in the future!

Developer

Yes indeed. There was a problem with the fourth frame although bizarrely only affected a few people. I deleted the hitbox and did it again and now it works. 

Thanks for the rating. Appreciate it.
