Hi, kanatos!

**Hey, fix your description it's "Z" for jump in your game, not "W".**

Rates and explanation:

Fun: 2

Game is pretty, remind me about super old games I played on emulator. You did some level design work, and part of level design decisions are not bad.

BUT your game have no point actually. It's one of the main game design things. Your player just chilling around. He have no exit, and he even not receive any score. He will just die in some time and no way how good he interacts with your game. Making a platformer pointless is a bad game design practice.

With no point in the game, your level become a pack of separate level design decisions with no connections between them.

Also your game have a big bug - you can walk through any wall if you try to.

Innovation: 1

Absolutely nothing new, very minimalistic platformer with a death timer on your character.

Theme: 3

It's pretty fits the theme.

Graphics: 2

No great pieces of art, but your graphics fits the retro style.

Audio: 2 Pretty good retro sounds. Only three sounds for all game, and no soundtrack, but I like this few sounds. They also fit retro style.

Humor: 2

That was funny to meet only one moving enemy in all the game XD

Mood: 2

Controls and level design feels ok. Sounds match visual style.

Overall: 2

The game is pretty. Idea match the theme. And you got the retro

But it's too small with no point, and need a lot of decisions to be done to become better.

Anyway you did some job according to your skills and it's great! Waiting for your game on the next Ludum Dare with a better realization.
