Simple fun game. Could be faster I think, but that's very subjective.

Have you tried the hard difficulty? It's faster than easy. If the game was any faster than the current hard difficulty, it might just be impossible.

I liked the game! For me at least it was immediately clear what the enemies were, but, like the others said, the game would benefit from a design revamp for the enemies. All in all I had a lot of fun, nice retro-NES-aesthetic!

Nice retro game here, didn't really enjoy the other "enemies" looking like the player, I thought colliding with them would give a power-up or something. The wall damage was also kinda of a pain as well but not a deal breaker. I was able to get through hard mode with 10 tries at least. Nice job!

This was pretty fun but a few changes could really improve it. The enemies looking the same as the player is confusing, and I didn't realise they were enemies until I died. Its also difficult to know what will cause you to die, seemingly touching the bottom of the screen means you die but this isn't obvious at all. Aside from this, the movement is good and its a pretty fun game.

Thank you for the in-depth feedback! Although the enemy details are written in the tutorial, I did forget to mention how touching the walls will also damage you. If I update the game I will also try to create or find better artwork for the enemies and player :D

It took me a while to notice that I was taking damage for touching or grappling walls and it felt a bit weird but besides that it was alright.
