Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.
- I think the concept of the spaceman jumping down is unique. I think the save checkpoints are a must and perhaps to create a more difficult experience you could limit those.
- Great concept, worked well with the theme. Overall great job! Some Feedback: A more responsive/predictable character controller with a smoother camera. Add Precision hitboxs and more readability on platforming objects. Add Limited flag restarts, for some more strategy.
Description of Game
Most platformer games involves moving from one place to another by jumping platform to platform. This game however is the complete opposite, wherein you will have to find your way down to earth, without jumping but instead moving downwards.

Nice one! The progression of the levels and the visuals were very good. It embraces the theme very well.
This is an excellent second game IMO. Keep making more :)
I took time to understand that some blocks were "fake" or in the background, as there was no color distinction and they were very close to the edge (where the camera would move and I couldn't tell if I landed properly or if they were buggy). Other than that I had a great time!
Challenging precision platformer. Well done making the jump opposite. Nice backgrounds, and level design. Not sure, but I think some area makes me jump higher so that leads us to find the right area to jump to.
Although there are UI click bugs and occasional stuck in the first dialogue, the controls still works well in game. Unfortunately, since the jump key also proc the next dialogue, I can accidentally skip a few dialogues of NPCs I reached.
By the way, is this the end? The dialogue is stuck here now no matter what I press.
Thank you very much for the feedback. It is the end of the game. It was supposed to go back at the main menu. But I guess it didn't. Thanks again for playing.
Fun concept, I enjoyed the unique upside down platforming. Unfortunately couldn't get past the ghost blocks/'alien ship', seemed to make jumping to the next area impossible. Lots of dialogue! Intriguing story. Hope you can update the game to fix any bugs.
Thank you very much for the feedback. I would say that there are tricks to get from one platform to the other. But I'll also check it after. Thanks for playing.
This is cool I feel like you hit the opposite-day theme for sure!
Thank you very much for the feedback.
