You wanted a honest review and I will leave one. @nam-nguyen already told you about gameplay flaws, so I would like to concentrate on graphics.
It is clear that you wanted to create pixelart graphics, but had not much experience in it. It is totally okay and you would create awesome art if you practice a lot. It seems like you enjoyed drawing assets for you game and this is what really important.
I'll give you some general advices of how you can simply improve your art quality:
* If you are going with pixelart graphics, scale all your art 2 or 3 times larger. Just draw every object 2 times smaller and then scale it. Pixelart often looks better this way. Here is an example:
* All your straight lines has to be, well, perfectly straight. Pixel art is about precision and it is actually realy easy to draw perfect lines. It is small thing, but it really makes your art look more professional:
* Try not to use black for all lines. It works nice for outer edges, but for inner edges you often would not want to go for a solid black color. In this shelf it would be a lot better to use dark blue color or even a light shade of blue, as I used here:
* And the last advice is about your patterns. It is cool that you filled floor and walls with some kind of patterns. But I think they are really dense, I would make both floor and wall tiles at least two times bigger. And wall tiles are too prominent, maybe colors should be turned down a bit like this:
I believe that with enough practice you can achieve a lot in pixelart, my first works looked similar to your ones. And this is my last work, for example:
Do not stop making games and good luck in next projects!
Sorry if I had mistakes, English is my second language.

You managed to cramp a lot of gameplay into jam game, it is very impressive! I really liked this game, but some of your zoomed camera's near clip plane are too far.

Very neat graphics and audio! Your style is on point. Really liked jump mechanics, it just feels good. The only problem - projectiles are a bit hard to spot. Maybe you should have added white outline to them. Overall really solid entry!

Nice game! Realy liked neat graphics and you even managed to add menu with settings! Good job, liked it a lot

Thats just my personal favourite from this jam! You took a really simple idea without ton of features and polished it to perfection! That's exactly what jam games should be! Also music and camera movement reminds me of the game Thrumper, I wonder if it was intentional.

Very cool visual style, but gameplay needed polishing. Controlls feel weird, especially hodling up arrow and down arrow at the same time. Maybe it will be better to add autorun and just restart level at the collision, because stopping feels very weird. Overall I liked this game a lot, especially visual style. Good job!

Nice concept! The game gets hard really fast, but the idea is really neat. I guess, if you make gaps in the beat bigger, it would be much better.

That game is awesome! Photos, art and music are all on point! I enjoyed it very much! Very scary though :( Looks like you are not rating other games and your game is not receiving attention it can. You should rate other people's games and leave feedback and then your game will be shown to more people.

Your visuals are on point! Great game overall, but controlls feel a bit odd.

Nice graphics, controlls and game mechanics are very good too. But the level with 2 archers is very difficult for me

This is 5/5 theme rating from me! I especially liked how the guy walked through glass at the beginning

Really nice graphics and sound! It creates very good mood for this game. At first I was not sure what I need to do, I even thought that light staying on after changing scenes is a bug. But overall - very good game!

Thats a 5 stars in graphics if you ask me! This looks amazing! And your music is really good for guys, who are not musicians. There is one track with very loud low frequences though
Red Snow: The Thirteen Dwarves by undefinist 2020-10-06T19:57:11Z ♥ 1
Liked it a lot! As others said, it is very easy to go to the left or to the right at the beginning. At first I went right and up, and met nothing untill the game said that I won. It was confusing and for the second I thought that this is it. Fortunatelly I read comments here and tried one more time, the actual game is really fun! I think you should create another build with walls at the beginning. Rules allow to fix game breaking bugs after jam end and I think this is it.

Just wow! Very cool idea, awesome graphics style and sound design is on point too! Controls and camera are a bit confusing, I often didn't knew what button to press for character to go where I wanted them to go. But overall I really liked the idea and aestetics!

Wow, very nice! Art, music and sounds are all solid, the game is very polished, I really enjoyed it! But, you have very long seconds, my friend

Graphics and audio are on point! Very cool death shader. You actually polished the game really well and it leaves nice overall impression. Really cool game, especially for compo!

Hey! Nice models for 16 hours! Especially considereing you also created some code in this time. I see you made really nice picture for your post, but the game itself looks a bit worse. Here is my screenshot: screen1.png I just wanted to give your some really simple tips to improve your graphics in a copple of minutes: * Add some ambient lighting to make shadows on trees less black * Decrease main light intensity (grass and rocks are far too bright) * Add post processing (google Post Processing Stack v2). Add some ambient occlusion and fog, it will make picture a lot pretier! * Make lava material emissive and add Bloom postprocessing
Models and movement are very good for a first time! Next time think about what to shoot and you have a solid game
