How does your game fit the theme?
It gets harder each level, and the level's get darker.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No. Since I'm a beginner coder, I made all of the scripts, but ChatGPT helped me with like two of the scripts. Also, SteekStook made the menu music and Student6767k made the backgrounds.

Nice, I liked the game! I think to improve it sometimes it's not very clear if an area was cleared or if you actually died. In a couple of parts it was kind of confusing and I am not even sure why I lost or why I eventually cleared it. Other than that I really liked the clean mechanic and the visuals looked great, very nice job on this!
Tysm! I figured out the reason why it was so unclear was because of sometimes the camera size and the backgrounds (each looking the same can throw someone off), so I have to take that into account for my next game. Thx for the feedback!
a lot of fun! I would have to agree with some of the past comments, more audio would have been great and make the game feel more lively, but I had a great time playing! Thank you for reaching out in the thread!
Tysm!
Pretty cute game with nice simple art, would have like a bit more audio but overall a good game :)
Me too but I was kinda lazy lol. Thx for the suggestion!

Real.
I like the walk animation and the style but the lack of audio and feedback made it a bit confusing playing some of the levels. Maybe should include a timer or something since it is about time and it could use some polish of course but mainly would be nice with more sound effects. Good job though!
There is actually a timer above the HP text. I should’ve made it more obvious lol. Also, I should’ve added more audio too. Thanks for the feedback! I’ll be sure to use this for my next game!
very cute game, the music was spot on, and the art is simple but fits the overall atmosphere, very impressive first game!
Tysm!
Simple but fun little game. Would be cool with more sound effects for coins and spikes etc. Good Job.
Thanks!

Thanks!
fun little game and audio was also nice, i did not think the gameplay was confusing, though at times it was not clear that i died and restarted the level, maybe add a ‘you died’ animation or something :)
Thanks for the feedback and good idea!
One Spike Didnt reset the Player/Kill Him but that happens!
Game idea is Fun Hope you work more on it!
Music was nice but i think Sounds for coinPick up and Movement would be also nice!
I Really liked the Graphics reminds me of older Retro Games!
Thanks for the feedback! Also, one spike is also supposed to only take away 50HP, not 100HP.
Oohh That makes Sense!
The graphics aren't the best, and the gameplay is a bit "confusing" in my opinion but at the end of the day it's fun
Thanks! I'm working on the graphics and I definitely have to change the gameplay lol. I got confused myself.
I think it has solid concepts, but control seems a little finicky. There were times when it took me in a loop, but it wasn't very clear that I was repeatedly doing the wrong thing. Maybe adding more visual feedback would be helpful. There are invisible boundaries, but I would prefer to know ahead of time that I'm about to reach the boundary.
I very much liked the audio.
Thanks for the feedback! Ik the game was a little choppy lol, I have to make better camera movement. And for the boundaries, I'll just make GUI when the player is near them. Thanks!
My time is: 1:13.26
I had fun playing the game, the last level took me a few times to understand the layout! Music was fitting, assets were simple but cute.
Tysm!
Great job on creating a simple yet enjoyable game. The difficulty curve and power-up effects are nice touches, though some polish in graphics and UI could enhance the experience.
Thanks for the feedback and suggestions! Yes, I know that it looks bad lol, I'm not the best at art rn and graphics. But, I am practicing so hopefully I can get better soon!
In order to let more people play you game, I suggest you to upload a Browser Playable version! In that way is also simpler to play it for everyone!
Alright!
Umm sorry but I can’t do that because unity is giving me a bunch of errors while trying to build to WebGL
Nevermind it worked!
Games playing pretty nice! Like an art style and the idea! Animation is simple but charming!
Some feedback:
- I think because of animation, pressing jump button can not work, thinking that player is mid-air
- Sometimes you can't see where you're landing because of camera
- Different size pixel art doesn't match nicely with each other
Pretty cool anyway, it was fun to play! Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback! The only reason the art was diff is because I used old and new assets I made myself, and I was in kind of a time crunch lol. I will be sure to make it the same pixel size next time. Also for the jumping, I am going to make that better. Thx for the suggestions!
A simple but cool game, liked the power ups effects on the player!
Tysm!
Nice simple game! game could do with some more juice but nevertheless, still a fun short experience
Tysm! I for some reason didn’t make it for 2 days during the jam lol, so that’s why it was only 5 levels long.
Its a simple game, like the aspect of each level getting harder and darker, the grpahics have a bit to desire so does audio and UI
7.5/10 :)
Tysm! Your game was really cool too! I played it for a while!
