Nice game!! It feels really polished, works really well and the audio fits perfectly. Nicely done!! keep up the good work!. Art and music are really neat!

Nice game! I loved the music. The idea of being inside a music loop was cool to! Game runs very smooth. A bit to fast for my skills at the end. Congrats!

Controls are responsive, art is nice and the music is sweet. The motion blur on the platforms is a bit hard on my eyes though. I couldn't make it very far I'm afraid though.

The pumpkin is so cute. Fun game!

Cuuute. Love the weird spider pumpkin thing. Fun music and Halloween vibe.

Very nice! The audio is good and the game as a whole is very well-polished. I'm not quite good enough at this kind of game to get very far, but it's a good one nonetheless :)

Nice endless runner, it makes me rage a little but its part of the fun.

I liked the pumpkin, verry spoook! The art was great and the game ran smoothly!

Nice job on the game. :) I love the art and the controls feel nice. The stars and notes were confusing. They felt like collectibles, probably because of how they were placed along the path at times and others just out of my reach so that I'd have to actively try to obtain them. Not sure how you'd get around that if you didn't want to make them collectible. However I would suggest making them collectible as that could easily add some dopamine to the gameplay with some lil bling noises.

Rather than starting the game on a timer, I would suggest starting the game when the player presses a button. This allows them to sit and take in the environment, which I often like to do when I first start a new game / level (level not relevant for this game given its nature, but for future references).

I felt a little uneasy from the movement, and I'm not really sure why. It might've been the fast paced camera scrolling. But I started to feel a little motion sick pretty quickly when it started and afterwards felt slightly dizzy. Not a big issue for me, but for someone more prone to motion sickness it might be a bigger issue.

The falling platforms don't stand out enough from the normal platforms. I even had to ask myself "right, so why do these platforms keep falling" before I realized they're somewhat dark. Which I don't think stands out enough for the mechanic. And also the falling platforms didn't impact gameplay at all since by the nature of the game I wouldn't be staying on them for long and ideally moving in one direction constantly.

There were jumps occassionally that felt pixel perfect. Like I needed to jump at the last possible second to successfully make. This was made worse due to the fast movement, causing me to not realize that I needed to make a pixel perfect jump fast enough. Though that could just be a lack of skill issue, but it made my death feel as though it wasn't my fault.

I really like the style and animation of the pumpkin, such a nice one!

jerry-xu 2020-10-06 15:51

This game was really fun! I enjoyed the different faces the pumpkin made when it jumped, and overall, it was a great platformer. Sometimes, the jumps seem almost impossible, but that might be because of my own lack of skill.

Cool take on the theme, pleasant graphics, the controls feel nice, and the idea is original. A fun game overall, good job :)

Had a great time playing, the controls were really nice, but I would have liked if there were more obstacles to jump over or dive under!

ds-nahogara 2020-10-07 10:16

Great game! It is very fun to play, i would add a double jump in air if you are falling without jumping, like a second chance, it happened to me falling from a platform not being able to jump in air.. But no problem! It was a blast to play through, good job :v:

Nice Game! Great Graphics! I recomment to add score so the player will know if he breaks his score after each round.

It was a good platformer. The pumpkin is cute. A few of the platforms are set so far out you basically have to run off the previous platform and hit jump as you leave. Maybe that's intended? I did enjoy the music too, though I kept thinking the stars or notes would be some sort of pickup.

fryer 2020-10-08 08:19

Nice first game. The platforming and collision seem to work without problems, so good job on that!

I thought some of the jumps were impossible, but realised I could double jump, which made it easier. Some indication that double jump is possible would be nice, because if I hadn't thought of that I might've just assumed the game was flawed.

Very nice game and super responsive controls, well done! One little annoying part was that if you complete a loop and then die, you have to start over. Maybe cut the player some slack and start over from the start of that loop. Really liked the music too.

Double jump is your friend! lol Kinda tough putting you back at the start each time but it is supposed to be a loop! Graphics and music blended very nicely. Great job!

Nice job for your first game!
