Nice. I like the hand drawn animations and assets, and the music goes well with the gameplay. My only complaint is that the player speed increases a bit too much. It's kind of impossible to control near the end. Otherwise it feels like a very well put together game.

I personally am not into this type of game. It's a lot of reading. However, I understand there are people who might like this more than me. The only real complaint that I had was that the sounds are a bit harsh. A softer or quieter negative sound would be better. Otherwise, the game is well put together and the art is well done.
Ok maybe I'm just a noob but I never would have guessed using shift to sprint. I get that the point of the game is to learn how to play it by playing it, but perhaps you could mention the controls but not say what they do. That way the user doesn't have to press every key on the keyboard to see if it does something, just the ones you tell them to use.
You can't even walk across the platforms because the tiles aren't lined up and the player doesn't have the ability to walk up any height difference. You have a good intro with instructions for the player but forgot to mention the double jump ability. The moving platform that moves under the other platform leaves too small of a gap, so the only way around is to fall off and use a mid-air jump to get back on the platform. Definitely not a beginner friendly maneuver.
The description says it's a game about Persian culture and symbols, but those things aren't explained in the game or given emphasis.
You have a good starting point but would get a long ways with just taking the time to line up the tiles.
No instructions on how to do anything. The jump from the yellow pillar to the next across the lava might be impossible, I couldn't make it. Perhaps save a hard jump like that for a higher level, rather than level 2 or whatever it was.
I do not like that the camera turns with the player when they flip, it makes me feel sick. Also is there any point to flipping? I thought it might give an altitude boost but it doesn't appear to help in making jumps.
This game is a good starting point, but it's barely even a prototype. It's not clear how to play or what the objective is.
