I can't even make the first jump :D

crazywulf 2019-10-07 18:16

@los TRY DOUBLE JUMP ;-)

Actually fairly decent platforming design aspects here, good job!

crazywulf 2019-10-07 18:29

Thank you very much @radgegames :-)

It was an enjoyable game to play. I enjoyed being able to fly around by holding double jump against a wall rather than using the level editor. Designing your own level to get over obstacles is fun though. It's a neat concept overall and it was fun.

I died so many times on that first jump, then I discovered double jump. I couldn't get passed that part where there's a huge wall though. Nice platformer!

Made it to the second level but couldn't get past the first jump. Controls took some getting used to, especially the double jump speed (which seemed significantly faster than the initial jump). I liked the music track. Not bad!

Neat Game :) Does great with teaching the player through level design

Had a little trouble with the first jump but once I realized it was impossible to make with a single jump I figured out I probably had a double jump and it all went pretty smoothly from there. Also liked the music its a simple loop but it helps break up the monotony of when I fail a jump for the fourth time.

@swordishmage, @starvingindie, @toxiccomputer, @theseusinabottle : NICE THANKS!!!

@evilobjective Did you catch the stars on the top left? :-D

Definitely fun, good learning curve!

It's OK, art is so-so. Not sure how it fits the theme, though. Cheers

Suggestion for the art, for backgrounds and what not, lower the contrast of the colors or throw a transparent grey/black over it as it allows the platforms to pop out better. Physics are a bit janky, usually momentum carrys through when youre moving, so you dont suddenly stop etc. I suggest going for some acceleration/deacceleration!

Has potential!

importance of play testing! Have a friend or two play it before submitting, couple hours to give you time to balance it. Number one mistake is making the game too hard to complete, people are more likely to give it worse ratings.
