How does your game fit the theme?
This game was created for a game jam with the theme "an end is a new beginning" I made it link to the theme by having the character coming home from an adventure and the end of his adventure was a new beginning. I was planning on adding cutscenes and other things to link it to the theme more but I didn't have the time. So hopefully this is enough. This is my second game and first game jam so hopefully it meets all the standards it needs to.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I used audio from other people (from the website freesound.org )but gave them credit in my description.

I rate it

Nice Game! Really impressive for your second game! I really like the graphics! The jumps didn't felt that great and was a bit floaty and after a while the game felt a bit repetitive, maybe you could'Ve introduced some more elements to the game to make it more intresting. If you want to continue working on the game, maybe consider adding the stuff mentioned before and maybe look into the platformer toolkit, it has some great informations for improving the character controls! Overall, good job!

(Also it would be nice if you could do the same and rate & play my game too, I'm almost at my personal goal for this game jam ^^)

Nice platformer game. Movement were kinda sloppy. Liked the art style and the start menu was awesome.

Submitted

This was really good I liked a challenge when it comes to platformers gret job!

Submitted

Nice game! I really liked the art style and how you made the menu start from the end to the beginning. Great work!

Submitted

I had fun! The levels were well designed and utilized the limited resources you had (especially liked level 3) and the aesthetics were nice too!

One thing that could be improved is the physics: the player sometimes slides or bounces and other times doesn't jump when I press space, but those are just little nitpicks

good job!

Submitted

Good game! The difficulty is enjoyable, I liked the bullet dodging mechanic on a side-scroller. As a constructive feedback, the movement feels lagged and sloppy, the game would be a lot more fun with snappy controls! Sometimes I wouldn't be able to jump while touching the floor. And the last thing is that the game objective is not very clear.

It's like Super mario but with Zelda sprinkle tossed in 😆. Really good game, loved the art style.

Submitted

The jump has a bit of a lag, but I had a fun time playing nonetheless! Great game :)

While the game is actually fun and the level difficulty is just right, i run into problem where my char just wont jump consistently for no reason, character lag behind when platform is moving, and character sprite size appear to become bigger during jump, and i didnt quite figure out what is the usage of the flower/leaf pickup in the game.

Nonetheless, its still manageable and fun to play through.

Developer

thanks for the feedback the flower was going to link to the backstory of the game but i didnt have time to make a cutscene as i have no idea how to and it will probably take a couple days i will check yours out now!!

Submitted

thanks for the feedback!! For my next game i will try on improving those things as i may make another platformer.

With the poppies i was going to include a counter at the top and you couldn't finish the level without collecting them all but i didn't have the time. thanks for the feedback i really appreciate it!

I love this idea, but jump control could be a little silly sometimes. Overall - very fun to play. Good job!

Submitted

Unfortunately, I was unable to jump on an island, making the game unplayable.

Developer

which level was it i could try and fix that

Submitted

For me, it's almost all levels. When moving / on moving platform, sometimes I can't jump

Developer

oh yea i am aware of that i get it makes the game hard to play and i spent a while trying to fix it but i couldnt sorry about that

Submitted

Cool idea.  The platformer controller was a bit off.  A bit too floaty and the jumping was a bit bouncy.  Really good effort.  Platformer controls are a science.  Keep it up!

Submitted

For your first game jam this is some nice work. The character controlled a little strangely but, I know that platformer movement and physics is a hard thing to get right in a short amount of time. 

Submitted

there were some issues about jumping but nice work overall!

Submitted

This was a good effort, well done. I think the platformer control felt a bit annoying since the movement was a bit floaty and the player didn't move with moving platforms. Have a look at coyote time - something that a lot of platformers use that really polishes the movement! I was a little dissapointed to see "blue mario". I'm an awful artist but it's always nice to see original artwork. I hope you enjoyed the jam and well done for completing your second game! will definitely check your other on out.

Developer

Thanks for the review i am awful at art but i will try to design my character for my next game i didnt have enough time to do my own are for this game so i used others. Thanks for the review i will check out yours in a bit!!
