What I liked
I love zipping around at mach 5 and jumping off walls, it's incredibly satisfying. The music opening up as the character runs is a really awesome idea and it gives even further incentive to keep your momentum going. The rocket jumping mechanics are incredibly fun to mess around with, and when you get them right, very satisfying to use as a method to traverse the map. The minimalist aesthetic is both refreshing and conveys information very quickly and easily, I can tell a bouncy playtform from a regular one, the bold white outlines on all the weapons makes them stand out against floor textures and enemies are easier to spot than my ex girlfriend's red flags. All of this lends to a very fast paced, cinematic playstyle that I can see myself easily getting lost in, but that leads me into-
What Could Be Improved
The current map design is, understandably, a little lacking. As I said earlier, it feels wonderful to zip around all over the place, but when the map is so spread out and objects to jump off of so sparse, it breaks the momentum very quickly, and I find myself wishing there was another wall here or there or that platform was just a little closer or what have you, as a lot of them are sometimes inaccessible without a shotgun or a rocket jump. And with that, comes my-
Suggestions
Here are some things I think would be great additions to the game, as well as a few things I saw some other users suggesting:
- A ledge climb feature would be amazing, there were so many times I jumped into the side of a platform instinctually, thinking my character would climb up, but then I'd jump off and have to make my way back up again.
- Add more opposing walls to jump off of in the sandbox levels. Plenty of platforms, not enough walls
- More awesome synthwave tracks to keep the blood pumping
- Make the weapon pickups slightly larger
- Make the character jump a little higher (a variable jump height would also be nice)
- Quick retry keyboard shortcut
- Slowmo keyboard shortcut
- More milk pls
