Dark Jump - Jump and run in the dark

This is a jump and run game in the dark. Your bodyglow and coins show you the way. The time is ticking. Find the way to the Goal before the time runs out. There are jump pads that catapult you in the air and lava on the ground. Be careful where you jump. Controls are with A D to walk and space to jump, R to restart. 

The Game

Hi,
I played your game but it seems I have run into some bugs.
I have compiled a screenshot to illustrate the problems:

1) The ui seems all over the place. Maybe you have misplaced some of the ui anchors. Try to set the "game" view in unity to "free aspect" ratio and then resize the window. This is usually the quickest way to spot those problems.

2) After the tutorial "level 05" was unlocked for me but I was stuck there. I assume pressing "E" should reveal some info but I did not see anything (did pass right trough that other glowing cube.

3) As a rule of thumb, try to give your text some pace. A good ratio is 20% padding 60% text 20% padding (in the vertical). Give it a try, it will make your ui look much better :-) - If you want to learn more about this, here is a nice video (I am not affiliated with the creator. It's just the first that came to mind):


4) Your pause menu seems to overlap the tutorial keys. Looks a bit weird.

5) Your menu flow is a bit all over the place too. For example: if you go to options then leaving those drops you into the levels screen. That's unlogical. It is convention to put the player back where he/she came from. In this case "the main menu".

Thank you for sharing your first game.
I know it's though to hear such "found errors" feedback but "this is the way" to learn (if you forgive the Mandalorian pun here ^^).


Thanks for playing my game and giving very useful feedback. I was so happy when I saw your post. =)

I tweaked most of the stuff you talked about. 

In Level 05 is nothing hidden. I was trying to teach the player that you they can wall jump. I guess i failed.

I would be very grateful if you could play my updated version and tell me what you think. 

Have a nice day.

Hi, I tried it again today but I can not get past the menu screen. It seems there is a "coins" screen but all I can do is go back.

Well fuck me. Damn... sry. Thank you for trying a secound time :). I'm starting to have a mental breakdown with all these bugs. I'll try to fix it.

No problem, it happens to the best of us ^^.
I usually try to make a clean test before publishing. That means clearing all Payer Prefs with "PlayerPrefs.DeleteAll();" and also clearing all registry entries (RegEdit: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\[yourcompanyname]\[yourgamename]). Once that's all deleted and it still works as expected you can be pretty sure it will work for others too.

Btw.: if you can find the time I would appreciate your feedback on my game (demo) here ;-)

Sure, I'll play your demo.
