Thank you for playing! Those are some good suggestions, I think what happened is since I played the game a lot during the development, I got used to the controls and the gameplay, so I accidentally made it too hard for someone trying out the game for a first time... Levels or a difficulty selection would be a good way to make it easier to pick up.
Thank you for playing! And thank you for the thoughtful comments. I hadn't thought about audio fatigue when developing the game, so thank you very much for making me learn about that. I also very much agree about the contrast, I should have made the trees fade out into the background/given them some atmospheric perspective.
This was my first finished game, so I'll make sure to remember these points on the next one :)
Yep, there were different hitboxes for the player and the loot cart, but it seems they were a bit buggy/godot signals were triggered so late that you could both lose health and gain points with the same item. That's something I should probably figure out.
Very original choices! I liked the level design a lot, I had some moments where I had to do a double take and redesign my approach, and those a-haa moments were the best part of my playtime imo. The graphics were nice, and did not take away from the gameplay
The music was original, but after a while of playing I was getting bored of the sound that played once the player was moving. I really liked the chimes before the level, though.
The mood was excellent. The graphics & sound design really played to the abstract & weird aesthetic of the game.
All in all I enjoyed the game and got to puzzle my brain, so great work!
Some quality-of-life changes, if they would fit the narrative, would be to 1) reposition the gameplay elements after they have been placed 2) adjust the player to progress a bit faster, sometimes if I had redone a level for a few times I was starting to feel a bit impatient when looking at the little guy struggle to the finish : )
