I’ve to say a lot so I’ll make a list:

Idea: How does it fit into the theme?

Art: Do I have to say something about the art… the animations are awfull! And why does the player not flip? Then the hearts are a bit bright, a more red-ish tone would be better. You can definitively improve here!

Audio: The soundeffects are really good but the music is annoying, mostly because it restarts every time you enter the next level or you die.

Gameplay: The controls are a bit… * meh* Anyway mostly it’s smooth, maybe a bit to smooth at some times. Collisions are fine.

Polishing: Post processing or a few effects(I think thats how it’s called in Construct), then screen shake particles could help to let it look polished

Originality: It’s a simple default platformer, so nothing special.

Then I’ll give you a few tutorials that helped me for good game feel and etc.

Art and animations:

And music:

And These about polish and game feel:

Hope I can help you improve. Can you play and rate my game too?

hey atleast you made one

Don't beat yourself up, it doesn't suck and like Mehcro said, you at least made one and dared to submit it for the whole of itch.io to see and evaluate.

I do agree with some of the feedback here, it is very unpolished still and feels unfinished. So perhaps you made some bad choices here and there, but the platforming itself works quite well. It plays fluently, gravity feels ok, so playability is quite ok.

I would say it's a very good start! Don't let negative feedback put you down, but take it as lessons and improve the next time!
