This was fun! My only critique is having the text spawn center outwards hurts my eyes (not sure if this would be the same for others) so maybe having it spawn from left and type itself out without the letters moving would be better? And I wasn't sure if it was just my computer or if the game didn't have any, but there was no sound.

Congratulations on your first game! It's SUCH a big accomplishment, especially in a jam with limited time. Overall you did a good job implementing this game, but there are some things that could have been better: The character just going off the edge of the screen is a big one (especially if there's a ledge and it looks like they're just falling into a pit). The colliders also seemed very large compared to the size of the sprites, which made it difficult to judge how to make jumps and things.

Developer

Thank you so much! I am glad that I managed to finish the game. The way I implemented my cameras caused the first issue you mentioned. I'll look into the collider issue soon. Thanks again!

Very nice graphics! Would be good if there were sounds as well. Obviously you need to sort out where the player starts in each screen (they should start on the screen). Personally I would prefer less text

I agree with everything you have said. I couldn't add sounds and music because I didn't know how to make it but it does take away from the experience. I used camera triggers instead of Cinemachine to see if it looked better but it didn't work out too well. Thanks for the feedback!
