I like the story and gameplay idea is simple and fun. The controls could have been better, and I often got a bit stuck near the walls. The game ended for me, because I for some reason no longer was able to restart the game. But anyway this was okay little jam game.

Developer

thanks for the feedback yea one of the levels you can't press UI buttons it's a stupid mistake thanks for playing

Good game! I like the music! Though the art style could've been more cohesive. The tilesets didn't match, but you could you this toll that I use called tilesetter which takes a base and an outline and makes a complete tileset!

thanks for the feedback i will check out that program

Good job on the game. Other than what others have said below, I think there's a small delay before the character starts to move. Sometimes I can't really jump the full height. It might just be WebGL as someone else has pointed out. Dying from the spikes feels a bit unfair because the hit box seems to be larger than the visual. Hope you get the chance to fix them after the game jam, otherwise thanks for making it!

Developer

thanks for the feedback mate yea I know the jump can be random I don't know how to fix someone helped me with another problem and than the jumps started to be random.

This game has potential but it lacks audio. It needs music !

You should also make the character fall a bit slower, it's way too fast for the camera in my opinion. And remove the fact that it can be stuck on the walls, it's kind of annoying, and easy to do (add a Physics 2D material with 0 friction on the player rigidbody)

You should also make a bit more ennemies, so it's a bit more alive.

And maybe, but that's not really important, add some other audios for the jump, and make them randomize, same for the shoot audio. So it feels better and more alive.


Good submission but needs some improvement ! 

Developer

thanks for the feedback mate  yea I will fix the sticking to walls after the jam

Nice little game with potential! 

The movement of the gun is well managed and follows the mouse well.

To improve it, here are some tracks:

* The spikes are really dangerous! Maybe reduce the collision box a bit

* Don't stay stuck when you jump against a wall, sliding on it would be more pleasant

* I would change the design of the gun, it looks too "realistic" compared to the rest, a little more pixelated and it would go better with the character.

It's a good start, keep going!

Fun game, I like the concept!

The spikes had too big colliders, it is better to make the collider a bit smaller than the sprite so it does not feel as unfair for the player. Also I fell through the floor and died when I fell from a high height (this is something that can be fixed by setting the Collision Detection on the rigidbody2D to Continuous).

Good entry, well done!

WebGL did a number on your game :/ sometimes it gets so laggy that it can't be played. Shame because is fun

Took me a while to fully grasp the range of spikes, and aside for some funny bug like getting stuck on the ceiling, i can say its a funny platformer. In general is a pretty good game for a Jam. Keep up the good work!

Your game looks so awesome! I really like the gameplay  . Also the level design was cool. However this is a good game but in the future for more projects or jams I think you should improve the deaths by fixing  a  few bugs eg. pausing makes  you continue and sometimes it wouldnt even die. Don't get me wrong this is a great game and a super cool submission. If you feel like helping out you could play my game or view other submissions from the low rating category. Its totally up to you and keep up the excellent game development.

Thanks for the feedback I will definitely play your game later when i have time (i havent been rating to many games i havent had time but i will rate more games later)

Just a tip: by putting a 2d physics material with 0 friction on the player, it will stop him from being caught on walls.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback I will try and do that after the jam finishes

Funky entry! The jumping was a bit strange at times but I managed to get used to it, great work!

Fun platformer!

I did find a bug where sometimes you couldnt respawn if you die, and also you can just pause and unpause when you die, and the game will continue as if you never died

Apart from these small little bugs, great game!

Developer

thanks for the feedback I will fix the bug after the jame
