I like the core gameplay concept of needing to slice to jump but having to jump to slice! It took me a little while to figure out how to escape the menu and what to do, but once I got it I had good fun.
I'd say a lot of confusion came from the main menu being an infinite loop whereas in the actual game, the floor kills you.
Once I figured that out, the game is quite intuitive. It plays very nicely and looks great. I like the effects. Overall a great entry.
thanks! Yeah I wanted to go a more traditional route but was running out of time. My thinking was "well, they can't play the game until they learn the core concept". I would have much preferred a tutorial but it was the quickest solution I could think of at the time. Haha. And thanks for the input on the floor. Didn't even think about that! I could probably make it so that when you hit the floor it bounces you back up red for a moment before you begin to drift down again. Thanks so much for the feedback!! I will try and tidy that up soon! :D
Edit: also I got your game on my list for tomorrow!! :D
