This was a cool little open world platformer, and I had fun with it. I think the platforming movement itself felt good, but the level design felt a bit constricted - I liked that it was super vertical, but it would have been nice to have more variety in platforming instead of just jumping up and around those little protrusions to climb up. The hacking minigame was neat, though it would be nice to have some more difficulty/variety with it too. The sound design of the drones was great, the player jump was a little loud and grating but that wasn’t a huge issue. It might also be cool to have a way to interact with drones besides just avoiding them, maybe like an option to hack and blind them for a short duration of time.

I hope this doesn’t come across as negative because I did like this. There’s a lot of cool stuff here, and I think it’s worth building on. Great job, I hope you keep up the good work!

Cool interactions with other people, I think some mechanics  needs to be explained better, but the game feel great and mostly polish, nice entry to the jam! 

Yes! Completed Neokyo City! I think the idea of a side scrolling open world is neat. Super ambitious for a game jam! I enjoyed the interactions with the NPCs. They really added to the vibe of a city. I do wish I knew more about the world. What is Neokyo city? Why do I need to free the denizens? Lots of things to explore there! 

Some game feedback

• Felt the map wasn't built out for ease of platforming. I understand it is kinda a puzzle but at the same time, being an open world, I think I'd prefer more convenient traversal. There was a cool platforming portion where you need to climb pretty high up. I found that challenging and fun. There were however lots of places where you easily hit your head and you kinda need to jump and strafe up. There are a lot of those. They are far from impossible to get past but are also obtrusive to the feeling of quick precise platforming I feel
• I think it would have been nice to have a bit more explanation on the hacking. It isn't super obvious which number is the active one you need to stop. It makes sense once you figure it out but I think the active number indicator isn't noticeable enough. Maybe even having an instruction on how "X" would stop it would make getting into the game a bit easier.
• It would be nice to see an indicator on what you can interact with. Nearly missed the power boxes for the hacking because of the lack of sign.
• Not sure if it is by design but being shot at by the drones makes the hacking harder. I'm of two minds in this. Part of me feels because you have to start over at the beginning if you are being shot at by the drone, it's too punishing and it feels RNG if a drone spots you or not. The other part of me feels I think it can be orchestrated to be a tense situation with higher stakes. Hacking under pressure... trying to be quick before the drone spots you

I thought the movement of the drones was super cool. Definitely felt anxious trying to out run them and hide. I loved talking to the NPCs. I did find the jump to feel really good!! Jumps and ease of movement can definitely make or break a platformer. Your game feels really good to move around in. Though I was a bit critical of the level design, I think if the movement of the player didn't feel as good as it did, I'd dislike the level design a lot more. Because of how good it feels to jump and move around, I was able to navigate the trickier spots of the level despite how low hanging a lot of the ceiling was. So excellent job getting the "feeling" right. It definitely balanced out the areas I was not as fond of. Just feel in a lot of platformers I play in a jam, you definitely got the right thing going in terms of game feel. 

Nice job on the entry! Seems there's a lot of opportunities to explore the world you've been crafting :D

This is really neat! I love the clean simplistic style. It's amazing that the robots can put me on edge with such a simplistic style. The way they move and pursue you makes them feel like they have a life of their own. Very cool game!

Hi! Interesting game.  The little player animation is cute :D The jump/land sound is a bit annoying over time, you might want to add a random pitch to your sound effects with  audio_sound_pitch() I do that always with sounds to make them more interesting :)
