simple and fun game. First time playing, I don't understand where is the exit to next level. Second, I think it's better if the camera always centered in the screen because when I reach the far right position, it's hard to know what is in the left side, before I reach the corner left of my screen. Overall good job for completing the game!

Nice effort!

I enjoyed it, but it's very punishing if you can't exactly see to a place (like if there will be spikes or a platform below and you just kind of need to do a trust fall and it's spikes and everything is restarted in that level :D) 

I liked the art of the game and SFX was funny :) 

I did however manage to clip through the platform at one point (can't remember the level, maybe 2nd) and had to restart, since I couldn't jump anymore. Camera movement for sure was something to improve on, would probably fix the first part of the punishing comment I mentioned! :) 

Good work on submitting a game though!

I have died quite a few times because you cannot jump after moving off a ledge. Either way good work

pretty good game overall camera movement feels a bit off somehow

Very nice presentation! While the music is nice, it can get quite repetitive as it is a short loop. Congratulations on the submission!

The platformer in this game is not perfect and some idea is wrong especially the camera keep offsetting to the right of the player while in some level requires backtracking making the player unable to react to the danger on the left side fast enough.

The attacking hitbox is also too small.

But the game looks consistence and very good use of color.

It is cute and fun and a bit funny when the character is still bouncing around even when it died. But as someone else had already commented, a better camera movement would make the gaming experience even better.

really cute game. I liked it, i got a little stuck on the 2nd level as i didnt know how to leave but i eventually figured it out.

The game had simple mechanics, but the presentation was very good! The artwork was consistent, and the sound fitted the retro artstyle well.

Here are some things you can improve:

  • I thought the camera was too close to the player. It also drags behind them making it hard to see what you're heading into.
  • Some coyote time would make the platforming a bit less frustrating (although it's already pretty well balanced). You can go through GMTK's platformer toolkit to see what I mean.
  • Player can sometimes get stuck on ledges.

These are minor issues though, and the game was smooth and responsive otherwise. Well done!
