In what way does your game fit the theme?
It fits the theme when the player has to stay with his teammate and if he slows down and is out of the game they both lose
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I created my own art and used the help of tutorials since this is my second game.

The game itself could be fun to play if there were spawn points and the jumping of the character is a bit too fast but overall nice game.
The teammate doesn't really add anything he just slows you down, maybe add some buff when both the player and the teammate are close to each other like a higher jump or more speed.
The player has no walking animations
When the teammate falls they fall much slower and their walking animation is still used
I understand the theme interpretation but I feel like the teammate actually impairs you rather than making you “stronger”
The enemy’s jumping movement doesn’t feel smooth
Could do with a lot more polish. For example, visual (particles, more animations) and aural feedback (jumping, death, etc)
I wish you could pause the game
I’m not a fan of the art. It feels very ms-painty. It is pretty readable though. I’d recommend using a pre-made palette from a site like Lospec
This is really difficult. I think some checkpoints would be good
I fell inside a tile at one point but I didn’t get a screenshot in time
Overall, pretty good for your second game! Well done :)
Hi creators i have made a post for the game that you should read for more major information about Dont Fall Back
Hey, i've made it pretty far, *wait for the water blast to finish and you have 4 seconds window*!. The game would benifit from some checkpoints and a health bar.
Im doing an update today so dont worry you will have checkpoints
The music was extremely fun. I also liked the art style, gave me nostalgia for old flash games I used to play! Some advice as listed before is some way player progression such as checkpoints
I would love it if you want to check out our game: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929153
i've just came on itch but ill play your game later
Sorry man not my type. At all. I truied 4 or 5 times and die all the time. The games shouldn't be so humiliating and hard. Streamed here
The idea is fun, the game isn't too difficult (which is good). I like the music, a bit borring after some time but the rythm is there.
As for the gameplay, it's fun, but slow and movements are a bit too "soft", maybe crank up the player acceleration. As other have pointed, try to add check points.
I encountered a few bugs:
The art is... not the strongest point xD but don't worry, you'll get better (practice is the key)
Somes tips for your art:
Always consider to continue working on your games, even if the jam ended, it's a good way to improve !
Thanks for the feedback i will work on those bugs and suggestions to day
Pretty decent game but a checkpoint system would of been nice, also an upgrade on the art and animations for both players would be nice, good game though

Thanks i just found out about a art design app so i plan to use that from now on thank you for the feedback
Pretty entertaining game, like everyone already mentioned checkpoints would be nice.
Thanks
very good game nice concept but the game feel really slow and there is no Checkpoints
but other then that its pretty fun i really like the enemies
Good Job :)
Thank you i will be doing an update to the game featuring checkpoints
Checkpoints would be very nice.
Thank you i will be doing an update tomorrow
The bottom character is so slow, I keep crashing into objects in front of me that is off-camera. Try adding a few checkpoints. Good game!
Interesting game, I enjoyed the gameplay. It reminded me a lot of the scroll levels in Mario but felt like it had more of a purpose with the other character moving and trying to keep up with them.
If you wanted to improve, checkpoints would be nice as well as some additional sound effects. I also think a health bar would be nice instead of the instant death state that currently exists.
Overall really cool game, I hope you keep working on it. If you do, feel free to ping me after the jam and I'll play it again!
Thank you for the feedback and the idea of a health bar is really good and sound affects was something i was suppose to put in but didnt know where to make them
Checkpoints would be nice :) Simple, but great game. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback will be doing an update tomorrow
U can add checkpoints to enhance the game, not easy to play but has potential! Keep up the good work!
thanks
The game is very polished and I encountered no bugs, but it is so hard, man! I hate these purple things.
Ik i'm planning to do an update tomorrow and make a 4 second period when they jump so players have a chance to get over them dont worry
Haha I love the music! Fun game to play!
your welcome i hope you come back and play when i do an update
sure thing
Nice game! adding checkpoints more would be a good idea cause i lost alot xd, but other than that it's nice, well done
Thank you really appreciate the idea i plan to do a update to add checkpoints
Hi creators im back online so i will be reading the comments ive received so far
