With the dialogue boxes, it says "press to skip/continue" and to me just "press" to me means clicking on the thing (which doesn't do anything). I think saying to press a specific button would be clearer.

I really appreciate your saying this—that's exactly what I was aiming for! Since I'd never coded anything without following a tutorial precisely, while I tried to develop this with care, I really focused on the idea of a minimum viable product. Even with a tiny scope I encountered so many new things and it taught me a lot.
This game is fun and I enjoyed it enough to play all the way through! I think the bosses' telegraphing their attacks could be a little slower, it still felt hard for me to predict it at points. I also think it's not clear on the selection screen that you have to scroll, I'd suggest making it so the up and down arrow keys also work. My biggest issue with this game is that the sound effects for Bullet Bot were EXTREMELY loud, much louder than anything else! And I wasn't even wearing headphones!
I love this game, it's such a good idea! The art style and concept are awesome. The only complaint I have is that after the level with the two whirlpools in it, after beating it, the screen just goes black. I hear music, but there's nothing on the screen. Maybe a congratulations screen or something would be good there?
It makes me really happy that it's a solid concept even though I'm so inexperienced. The glitch with getting stuck is frustrating, hoping the new build makes it at least a little less likely! I tried turning off the "Floating Platform" layers of the player in Godot and it seems that may make some difference.
Thank you for the feedback! I had that issue happen a couple times when playtesting myself, but wasn't able to figure out what causes it (maybe something to do with the code that makes sure the player can slide smoothly against the slopes not working well when there's two or more blocks around them). Once I understand coding more I may make a new version of this with more features like start it easier and then have levels that get increasingly more challenging.
