I like this. The platforming, the inspirational message, the sounds, and the art it's all great. Nice job. (Music gets a little repetitive though)

Really cute game! I enjoyed the success sound for beating a level. The music, art, and gameplay fit the theme very well. I got hit by those little red blocks every single time, haha. I noticed you just have to shake it off, but it took me a second to realize I had to hit the keys repeatedly. Not a big deal though. Overall, very fun little game!

Would appreciate it if you check out my game too!

Cute platformer! I liked the wake-up mechanic and the character animations. You even managed to add sound and music. I myself like it when the character has momentum and keeps on moving a bit (particularly during a jump) if I stop movement input, but thats personal taste. Could be worth a try though, if thats something you haven't done before.
Nice work.

Developer

Lovely! It made my day better with this simple motivational sentences! I encounter some kind of bug with "Day 0" on screen all the time but it didn't interrupt gameplay at all

Developer

THEME: Does it fit by being minimalistic?

VISUALS: Simple but good.

INNOVATION: I felt like the way you had to press a, d when you got shot was nice!

SOUNDS: Nice!

MUSIC: Nice calming.

DESIGN: I didn't love the controls, I feel like you should have the option to do arrow keys and if you do a and d to move I prefer using w to jump.

OVERALL: Really nice game with a good message.

Developer

Hey,

Thankyou so much for trying out my game and for your generous feedback, I really appreciate it!!!

I would just like to point out about using the theme. I used it as the message of the game "less is more, rather than doing nothing at all".

Cheers!!!

I had trouble getting this to run on Chrome (but I suspect it was one of my extensions interfering). Firefox worked just fine and I really enjoyed your game. The controls are tight, the narrative interweaves with the levels really nicely. Really solid game :)

Hey,

Glad it worked out and you had a chance to try out my game, I really appreciate the effort you did :).

Thankyou for your wonderful feedback, I really tried to incorporate the theme as the meaning of the game.

the control feels nice. the narrative moving on top kind of distracted me a bit, but i cannot add anything else. some more levels would be great.

great game, good job!

I really liked how the cannons on day 4 knock you out instead of killing you. That was a nice touch. All of the animation looks super clean and I love the little sound effects to punctuate it. 

If you wanted to improve, the platforming felt slightly off at times. I suggest adding features like coyote time (can still jump a few frames after leaving an object) or if the player is holding a key, to immediately preform that action when ready instead of waiting for another input.

Overall nice game!

Hey,

Thank you for trying out my game!!! I really appreciate your generous feedback.
I added a coyote timer down there maybe the time frame was so little that it didn't look like it had, thanks for pointing it out.

I enjoyed playing the game! The mechanics were simple but the difficulty increased in a satisfying way with each level.

Interesting take on the theme and music was good. Nice job!

The music was soothing, but I feel like the mechanics weren't fleshed out enough, since it was so short. Maybe you should expand on this project a bit more.

Hey SMG,

Thank you for trying out my game, year it was a really hard theme and cant come up with a good one so I decided to use it as the meaning of my whole game, doing less is more than doing nothing at all thing.

Hope you enjoyed the game.

Cheers!!!

The music was good but a bit repetitive. The movement was a little to jerky but other than that, nice platformer.

Hey Shimonster, 

Thankyou for your feedback and I hope you had a great run at it.
