Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • * Wow, the level of polish in this game is impressive! The controls feel great and I enjoy playing it. I'd love to see a finished version! One minor suggestion: The characters in some of the levels don't have great contrast with the background, and the fixed non-scrolling background sometimes makes it hard to tell your position in the air when using the jetpack.
  • Nice prototype! I'm sure if you keep working at it, it can become a great game. Some notes: - It looks very polished for being a prototype: splash screen, sound test, the shop and more. - Sprites and effects look great, but background graphics could be improved. - The game needs a way to let the player move the camera down. - It's a shame that I can't keep playing it, because the MC movement feels great.
  • Super cool demo! This game looks very promising.
  • Love the characters and animations, though the high contrast BGs make things a bit hard to parse visually. Game feel is top notch, imo some of the most satisfying movement in the entire jam! Also the music is amazing! Sword crashes the game. :( Overall what you have so far looks, sounds and _feels_ great and I'm excited to see where it goes next!

the character designs are cute and the soundtrack is a jam \m/  looking forward to see how the upgrade systems you've got here play out in the full game

Developer

thanks friend 😁 we have a lot planned for the upgrade system that we didn't get a chance to finish in time for the jam... I hope we can do our ideas justice!

Two things stand out to me: 1. without a way to look down, there's no way to tell when a drop is safe or not. 2. the visuals have a lot of places where something is in front of something else but shares the exact same colors, making it hard to distinguish.

Developer

thank you!! We are continuing to work on this post-jam, and visual clarity is something we've been trying to work on so this feedback helps a lot :)
