The menu music was nice and the player animations looked good.
I also found out about the wall climing and almost dropped through the floor. Movement felt a bit floaty.
There's a nice "bug/feature": You can run into a wall which will prevent the character from falling. In the second level for example you can wall climb on the right wall to the top :D
Currently it is a challenging platformer. Not so much of the theme actually used. Good concept that can be used for later.
Hey thanks for the feedback! Yeah sadly I didn't get the chance to really show off the lose it part of the gameplay. I had an idea for about 6 levels and some would kinda "force" you to not use one actions more and in the next level you'd need it so I'd have a powerup that grants you a way to beat the level without that actions.
One of the enemies spawned in the level geometry for me and I couldn't finish the whole game. However, it does seem fun and the idea of possibly taking attacks away seems interesting. If you were to add a second attack as a possible way to lock people out without removing their attacking options all together I think it would be super solid!
Oh no I'll go look in on that. Yeah I had a plan for a powerup that would give you a range attacked if you lost your main attack, making you have to figure out a different path forward.
Took a little getting used to how the double jump works. seems you go higher the faster you jump.
Some of the jumps seemed to be a little tight.
Some problems with the colliders, I fell through the floor a couple of times and kinda of cheated at one stage by getting stuck on the walls between colliders I think.
I can see where you want to go with the theme and I think it can work wonders in a platformer like this.
Keep up the work, would love to see this get something more.
Oh no, I will look at that, I've only done 2D once before this and it was pretty much following a tut. I wanted to challenge myself a bit so I went far out of my norm for this game. I am considering continuing working on this moving forward as I had a ton of fun working on it!
