Yeah, the art is quite acceptable, even pretty good. The low resolution is Exactly what you're looking for in this jam. In terms of improving the art, I would not even change things, but rather learn about scrolling backgrounds, also called a "parallax" effect. My game uses that.. and my game is also very low resolution for the most part

I actually managed to finish the game. part of me felt like it was a bit tedious .. but, mostly I was happy for just a kinda meditative experience. 

the controls were a little challenging, once I got the sticky boots. Mainly because when standing next to a wall, you will grab the wall and maybe just wait until you can slide down it before you can regain traction. Maybe there's a way to check-if-close-to-the-ground, and if so, de-activate the wall. If doing it in the code isn't easy, you can also do it by having a wall tile that looks the same, but, doesn't "stick," and use that tile only on the bottom parts of the walls. Other than that, I also kinda would get jump and dash mixed up, but that's pretty minor.

The level is kinda easy to get lost in. For one thing, the checkpoints stay lit even when you activate a different checkpoint. Have it so that when you activate a checkpoint, it de-activates all the active checkpoints, including primarily their "burning" animation. I would die and then go back to a different checkpoint than I expected. 

If you're like me, you probably won't do a lot more to this project, but focus on the next one instead, but in that case this is just feedback to apply to that next project. 

Oh, and it's kinda minor, but the music was irritating sometimes. I know it sounds wierd, but, the music was Too cheerful haha. It's good though, really good first game!

wow this is the best feedback i have gotten yet. Everything you said makes 100% sense and i agree. The parallax, the sticky shoes, the checkpoints. I might fix those stuff just to gain some experience. I really appreciate it. Btw probably i didnt communicate it correctly but if you press down while sticky, you will drop from the wall. For the parallax i tried clouds but they arent working as i hoped 😂 and for the checkpoint, my idea was that i would keep them lit so you can kinda know if you have already been there previously or not, but the active is only the last one you engaged with.


I will keep in mind the things you said and find a way to fix them and make them more enjoyable. I really appreciate it that you took the time to go through all of that.

No problem :) what are your plans after the jam?

So sad about the spawn thing. I tried to get to the start, but I got lost in the map xD.

Can't believe you did all of this solo while learning pixel art and godot though, the art is impressive for a first timer.

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much. I thought its not enough because of the low pixel amount (16 and 32) but im glad people think it was okay. And yeah, all my effort gone cuz of the spawn xD it is what it is. Thank you for giving it a shot.

Developer

thank youu

Submitted

Good graphics and music. But there are really a lot of bugs like spawns

Developer

yeah the spawn is incorrect sorry about that. What other bugs did you find? I would love to fix them.

Submitted(+1)

Its unfortunate that the spawn is messed up because it's a pretty well made game. The movement feels good and the art and music are really nice, especially that cover photo. 

Developer

Thank you very much my friend. It means a lot.

I REALLY love the graphics. The sounds are a lot of fun and the gameplay is also nice, but the graphics are REALLY good. 

Developer

Awesome game man! This looks and feels very clean if not for the wrong spawn!

Developer

Thanks a lot man. Cant wait to be able to upload again so i can patch the spawn.

This game is sick!

Its so unfortunate that the wrong file was uploaded. I still had a blast exploring the world and the controls feel great! When backtracking, it's easy to see that time and dedication went into this, and I respect it. The mechanics felt just felt good, the wall jump is my favorite because feels so clean.

I'd love to come back after the Jam if it ever gets patched! I still had a good time, even if I played unconventionally.

Developer

Wow you manages to get to the wall jump ability. Thanks for giving my game a chance, it means so much to me.

Submitted(+1)

seems pretty fun, but is wall jumping unlockable? because i tried to go to the start and got stuck on a high wall. also you took his shades away!

Developer

hahah im not good enough with godot yet to implement the shades in sorry 🤣 yes there is wall jump and dashing. To get to the wall jump tho you have to unlock the dashing ability first. Hopefully after i can upload the correct version you will have a chance to try it

Submitted

thank you, i saw your progress on the server, really excited to play it through

somebody transformed sonic into a chicken ... love the scenario btw

Developer

HAHAHA yeah the inspiration was there. It just sounded funny in my head CHICKEN WITH SHOES but Metroidvania.

The game seems really well put together. The art, the music, the gameplay, all of it really flows together nicely! I tried making my way back to the beginning and noticed how much effort was put into the game. Very unfortunate that you start at the end, but I would enjoy playing the game once you are able to fix it! Still, awesome job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for putting all that effort to give my game a chance. I appreciate it a lot.
