Controls are good and has a good art style. Just some thoughts here if you ever continue developing it.

  • maybe tone down the feedback on the flashes
  • not much incentive on combat
  • good 3 levels and great one for a 50 hour jam game

I second the combat rewards....also....the "Sword" gets in the way when you are trying to go "Up" with the jet pack....gets hung up under a platform if you are facing it.

I will look into the sword collision, thanks for the tip!

Very nice one! It looks good, it plays even better. As some other have pointed out the combat would need some improvements. Also maybe if you continue development add some sort of collectibles for killing monsters so you have an incentive to kill them. I loved the achievements detail :D.

Nice visuals and controls feel nice.

Although the screen shake is a bit too exaggerated I think and a bit distracting at times even.

And just a bit of feedback for the later versions, fighting the enemies is a bit hard without getting hit yourself, as you need to get really close to them and there isn't really any knock back either.

Overall nice game!

Developer

I will most certainly add knock-back to the weapon combat is a bit ridiculous at the moment. Thanks for the feedback it is much appreciated!

Wow! This is really good! The sound design and artwork are superb! My only gripe is the combat, which felt like we couldn't hit the enemies without also taking damage. Also some notice about where the lava is would be nice to to prevent us from just falling straight into it! But really amazing game!

Thanks for the feedback, I only included the attack because he was holding the sword in the art but yeah it needs some knockback or something so you don't take damage haha. I can't tell if there is some kind of acceleration bug with on way platforms, I was falling very quickly sometimes, it was very inconsistent. I assume your referring to the one way platform on level 2. I might add a small platform below after the ratings are over. Thanks for your thoughts it helps a lot!
