Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- I loved how the mechanic doesn't have any issues, you don't feel the lag between stopping and moving or jumping, normally in lots of games, you could feel that, but this one is much more responsive! Improvements could be made such as tweaking the speed, adding more objects to the game, making the levels a little complex, etc. I would suggest you keep up this work, don't think of this as a jam project only! As for the style, the character and background seem a little different from each other. Changing the character art would make it much more beautiful. Getting the attention of the player is so important, at least once every 20 seconds, try keeping the attention in-game!! Players have to try playing with their best gamer skills. Overall I really enjoyed it playing! Keep up the good work.

Selected Challenges!
Theme - Minimalism
Alone - Player is alone in the whole game setting. There is no other live creature.

Edited after Judgement:
------------------------------
Planning on adding a lore to the game.
Lore - You are a researcher working in a top secret research facility. You job? To create a drug to cure a highly deadly disease. You were successful in creating the drug but unfortunately, it had side effects. The entire population takes the drug and because of it, they all have died. You have been hiding in the sewers under your lab for months and its about time you get out of here.

Nice job! The controls feel quite smooth! I think that with some expansion/updates/polishing and some lore (as you already wrote in some comments) could be a nice platformer!
In the comments, you seem to appreciate critics/feedback and reporting bugs so (as I usually test games) I try to break your gameplay code and logic...I couldn't find almost anything strange. Only 3 small details:
- (I don't know if is intended, it seems too precise to be so) you can actually perform a kind of double jump (gaining only some extra height not doubling the height) with precise timing of double SPACE-BAR (not too fast, nor too slow)...although not easy to always replicate and use it
- I think is a bit strange that I can move the player before it touches the ground when he is re-spawning/spawning at the begging of the levels (especially if you are going backward)
- On my screen (on chrome with 100% of window scale, full screen or not) I was not able to see all the text of controls, At max (going as far as possible to the left) I see this:
Anyways nice work!

Hi.. I am glad you enjoyed the game ^_^. I definitely have some ideas for its expansion although it will take some time as I am going to start working on it after the judging is completed.
Yes, I appreciate any sort of criticism and feedback so I definitely appreciate this. As a developer it feels nice when someone doesn't find much bugs in your code even when they intentionally try to break the code XD.
As for your 3 observations:
- I didn't know that can happen. But since its not double height, I don't think it will matter much. Although I think what is allowing that. I have added a jump buffer which allows the user to make fluid repetitive jumps rather than them having to time a pixel perfect jump to jump again
- I'll be honest with you. I never thought about this but now that you mention it, it does seem a bit strange. So definitely a point I'll work on.
- This one I am aware of. For me personally when I go full screen it shows the information, but since its not showing for some people, I definitely have to fix this.
Thank you so so much for playing the game and for this feedback!

Hi.. I am glad you enjoyed the game :D. I purposely made that particular level a little challenging than the rest XD.

Yes. There is a lore and backstory that I am going to implement once the JAM judging is finished.

Hi.. yes, that background music does over powers the sound at the end of the levels so will take care of that later. I do get why you feel that the game is kinda empty overall. I do have something planned for it. Instead of going for variety of movements, I plan on implementing a lore for it after the judging is finished.
I am glad you enjoyed the mechanics and the level design of the game :D

Hi.. I am glad you liked the audio. Our Sound Designer really did some great work. As for the art style, unfortunately, I had to use free assets and from different artists at that.. Thanks for playing the game :D

Hi.. Thanks for the feedback. Yes I agree with the character not exactly matching the background. I had an incident with my artist and didn't have anyone to draw the artwork. So I had to use an asset. I used this particular one thinking about the lore but unfortunately wasn't able to implement it in time. I am planning on implementing that after the Judging is done.
