this is quite a fun game! I finished but didn't have enough stars to buy the second story bit unfortunately . The artstyle is very unique, and so is the game concept haha. I loved the buttslam attack and that you gave the enemies purpose by giving you energy on death. It's a cool world as well! I do think the movement in general can be polished, but you have a great concept here! The speed running aspect is also quite strong if you get the right momentum. I really enjoyed playing.
Though I find it weird that the game is opening my steam vr and asking for internet access xd
thanks for the feedbasck reely appreciate it✌️
bty do u know what anas means in hebrew
Fun. I think the jump hard to control accurately.
Fun game but the colors were a bit too much. I felt like supermario bros on 64 gone on a higher dimension :DLike the core mechanic but could be a bit more powerful with sound effects! Overall great game friend!
thnaks evreyone for the feedback and i wrokd on the game a bit more and made sure thats all of the stairs who should be climbable are in fact climbable and its clear when stairs are not
and i will try all of your games soon
The mix of expending energy to jump and dash while also being able to sacrifice health for energy or kill enemies for energy could let this game become a sort of platform speedrunner game. I think with some slight fixes to the staircases and some more action-packed music, this game could be a lot of fun!
Definitely a unique visual style in this game which offered some reprieve from the movement. Making jump and dash cost energy makes sense in a game like this, but not being able to walk up stairs and instead having to jump over them is not very intuitive in a game where the only way to progress is to have energy. Beyond that I like how you took a simple concept and turned it into something unique. Slamming enemies was definitely my favorite part!
Nice game! Loved the visuals
Beautiful game, it's clear there was a lot of passion and energy in it's design. It's also surreal and interesting and kind of weird in a great way. The main character's design is super cool. The speed running kind of reminds me of neon white. A few minor notes: you should explain in your details why you want web access, I think it's a little off putting to people when a game asks for that without an explanation. (I assume you are tracking speed run times or something?) The cost to jump and move is interesting but with a restricted camera it feels really punishing as it limits exploration. I like the slam attack and the cost benefit of killing enemies, that's a cool mechanic. Unfortunately (and I'm not great at 3D platformers) I could not get past level 2. The menu design is cool and stylin and the music and sound is nice.
thanks for the feedback and i did have a suspension level3 is a bit to hard but il see if i can change this
