I like the art, and the palette change is nice! The mechanics feel a bit weird though. I'm not sure why but maybe part of it is because you fall slower than you slide down walls. Or the fact that you can't easily attack an enemy that is close to you: if it is just under you, you have to dash away, wait to fall to his level and then press the dash button fast two times (or dash and press down really fast so you don't go too far away). And if it is just next to you, you have to press the dash button 2 times really fast in order to attack before you reach it.
I agree with the other commenters that suggested to use the down arrow for the down dash/attack. And in that case you could make the dash be automatically an attack, so you don't have to press twice. I feel like that would be more intuitive
I really like this game! The level/game design, audio and art are great and the difficulty is well balanced.
Great music! It felt satisfying shooting the enemies in rythm
Fun concept! Both playing for score (orcs alerted) and time feel satisfying. Especially going very fast when you play for time and manage to avoid obstacles. The only thing I would have liked to be different is to have a bigger field of view so we can more easily avoid/go towards the obstacles. The best method to maximize your time/score for now is to memorize the level. Here is the best time I got when using this method: Capture d’écran 2021-04-29 à 13.03.35.png
I liked the game! The changing graphics for each level is nice and I liked the music (especially the boss fight one), also having the timer be your "life" is a good idea and being able to gain it back by killing enemies feels rewarding. Some obstacles and enemies seemed to deal a bit too much damage though, and I would have liked to be able to see further below me. Also there is a bug where I got stuck when interacting with some white character so I had to restart the game.
Great game! I loved the audio and graphics, and the gameplay was fun. Aiming at the hole at the bottom was a bit hard though (even when slowing down) and it was a bit frustrating to have the whole run be worth nothing if you miss it.
Great concept and addictive game! It is a little bit hard though
