This was quite fun! I really like the pixel art aesthetics and the sound effects. The Phoenix character sprites and animations are especially great. The jump and dash abilities were smooth and felt great to use - though the ability to technically jump and dash indefinitely is a bit too free in my opinion.
My only real complaint was that shooting pushed you too far back. This cute little Phoenix recoils like a rocket launcher when shooting - which is honestly great to implement for something like a super attack, however I feel it's too much for a regular attack.
Overall: great stuff! The ending said "To be continued", are you planning to expand upon this in the future? If so, I look forward to seeing your progress on this.
Great platformer game! I really like your visuals as well as the UI. Audio is pretty decent. Congrats on making this one!
If you have time, please play our game too! I'll also follow you guys to see your future games! Goodluck! :)
I absolutely loved the artwork for this game! Really nice aesthetic imo and also uses good contrast between the player and the world.
The whole unlocking abilities and such as you progress really gave off a cool metroidvania esque vibe, which was really cool to see, and the dash mechanic was a nice feature.
Although the game didn't have a super apparent rebirth twist, it's understandable that you guys had to cut some parts out due to time.
Overall it was a nice game! Wish there was a bit more to play because it was pretty fun.
This was a really beautiful pixel platformer! The artwork is stunning, and looks very polished. The music/audio is really good too, and together they gave the game a nice retro vibe. Classic gameplay, perhaps not that original, but implemented in a way that was very fun and satisfying. I enjoyed dashing and double-jumping around the guns in the last section, my only complaint is that the level was too short lol.
There were a few pain points in the gameplay for me - it would be nice to have a few checkpoints because I kept dying and having to repeat a lot of stuff. The ‘spiky’ walls didn’t look like hazards at first. And there wasn’t much of a reason to use the shooting ability, though it certainly had a cool animation :).
I didn’t see how the ‘Rebirth’ theme was involved in the game at all though? The main character is a phoenix(?), but that seems to be about it.
Great work overall :). Personally though, I’d have liked to see a rebirth-related twist in the standard platformer mechanics, to give it a more original spin.
I love the bird character! I really liked the audio sound effects too. I do think the movement and the shooting is a little clunky. But I think overall, this was a fun game to play.
Such a lovely cute game!! ; ㅡ; I love the little bird so much! I also really enjoyed the interactive tutorial you had around the map, it's such a nice way to introduce the player to the mechanics surely (and then design the level so they can use those newly gained mechanics!). I'm unfortunately not very good at games with a lot of spikes (low-key get anxiety issues and then wham myself right into the spikes HAHA), so I couldn't get very far, but this was absolutely charming!
Awesome gameplay and mechanics. I love the dash jump mechanic and the shoot and move backward motion. So interested on how you did that. I am expecting some checkpoints in the game until I reach the end and realize that there's only one level :D But still, I love the game.
Just some technical feedback for the game, the collectible sound effects are too loud for me and was surprised that after collecting the power-ups, a sound was played and did not expect it to be that loud (and yes I played it with 100% volume hahaha). As for the instructions, there are cases when I was about to dash until an instruction suddenly popped-up and I can't control the character leading to its death.
Overall, I love this game and yearning for more. Awesome.
Lovely music, outstanding art, really solid controls (the most important thing for a platformer) that made me think of celeste. Lovely progression with the additional abilities throughout time. Really too bad that the game was so short, I would have loved to see more! Awesome job
