I really think you need to make it so that there are less pixel perfect jumps, add a reset game mechanic, and most importantly, not force players into a speedrun. As a dev you end up testing the entire world at set points so it can be easy to forget how difficult the game is to new players (I too am guilty of this). The wall jump requires insane timing to scale walls, and the timed sections are incredibly unforgiving. Still, if you present your game with a timer I'm going to expect you to have a time that is hard to beat. 6:30 was no challenge at all. Still, I got some enjoyment out of the game.

In the future make the hitboxes of the damage zones more visible. For example, don't use black on dark grey, damage zones require high contrast and visibility. It took me a while at the beginning to figure out why I kept dying .

I liked the levels and aesthetic. I think you have something interesting here. I would recommend to review the jump function. It seems there is a bit of delay from when you touch the floor and when you can actually jump. It feels almost like nothing, but in games for precision jumps, controls must be as responsive as possible. Also, I would recommend to add "coyote time" so it doesn't feel that unfair when you make a jump near the edge and you just fall. Also the wall jump feels weird, because you advance so little while doing it and combined with the jump delay sometimes you just keep jumping in the same place of the wall. Best of luck!

I had fun playing it. It feels like a frustration simulator platformer and I like it. The art is beautiful as well. Well done!

Good job on the sprite you made, they look nice :)

I would have some suggestions for the gameplay because it didn't feel very natural to me. 

Firstly, I was stuck on learning the dash for a few minutes because I heard the sound but nothing was happening. It should only do a sound when it actually does something, or it should dash forward by default if no button is pressed. 

The wall jump was also a little weird. I would expect to be able to wall jump without necessarily having to hold forward. Or maybe you could slow the player's fall speed when it holds toward a wall so that they have more time to react.

The introduction of the jump pad should have been without a thing that kills you above because it's almost a guaranteed death, and you have to restart since the beginning. If you really want the player to experience the jump pad the hard way for the first time, I think you would at least put a checkpoint right before.

It's got a cool art, and plays kinda like Celeste which is a plus. 

I really like the grahics and feel of this game, well done :) I have never been any good at platformers, and this was a bit hard for me, could not get past the jumbboost thing. I recorded my playthrough: 

nice game. My biggest issue was the need to hold right/left to walljump, pressing space when near a wall should be enough no real complains for the rest maybe some unforgiving jumps here and there.

Nice, I'm bad at precision platformers. Wasn't always clear how/why I was dying since it happened so fast and that was tough without checkpoints. Good job tho

It speaks more to my own poor skill when it comes to hard platformers more so than the game itself, but man for me, Ashenworld was HARD. The section with the moving void encroaching from the left side of the screen nearly gave me an aneurysm. Now that's hardly a critique! I'll definitely be coming back to lower my time for another run, as it stands now my time was so poor I'm embarrassed to type it out, haha!

Since you mentioned being fond of your art, I have to say I've taken a liking to the little guy quite a bit in my time playing it. It looks as if though he has a pompadour, and you know what, I dig rocking that style at the end of the world.

Thanks for making the game!

i really enjoyed this game! the controls were too touchy for my taste though, and made trying to be precise insanely brutal. i wasn't able to finish it cuz it was taking me too long lol, but this is really good nonetheless! cool atmosphere and REALLY good level design! reminded me of super meat boy
