Nice game! I thought it was a pretty fun platformer! My main complaint is that I wish you didn't have to start back at the first level when you died. The colors you used were kind of intense. I liked the enemy sprites but the main character was kind of freaky haha. The wall jumping felt a little buggy. Got me with the fake door! that was a awesome moment. I couldn't figure out how to beat that level tho. I think it was level 6. Keep it up!

Nice little game. Hit boxes felt a bit too sensitive, maybe a bit smaller. Or I could jsut be slow ha.

Developer

Good platformer character controller and level design. It's a great first game !

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

This was a good first game! Controls were nice and tight and I always felt in control of the character. Like other commenters are saying, dying sending you back to the title was a bit harsh since some levels probably necessitate learning their layout (like that there's a ghost at the start of level two, or that the platform on three rapidly accelerates). Still, it was fun enough that I replayed it from the start more than a couple times to see how far I could go. Good job!

Thanks for the feedback :)

Nice game, the visuals are a little basic, but honestly I shouldn't be complaining when the main character of my game is a square with eyes. The gameplay is also pretty fun, I liked your implementation of the theme.

Developer

Thanks, I had played your game as well and really enjoyed :)

I see what you were going for, its really fun and gdevelop helps to make it feel very polished. Congratulations on your first game. One improvement: these games need a fast restart, not back to menu and click to restart. Try respawning or restarting the scene on death, its much smoother

Developer

Thanks for the advice and playing :)

Congrats on making your first game on itch.io! The game was very hard since one death sends the player back to the title screen, but I still had an all right time playing it.

Thanks :)

I suck at platformers so I didn't get far at all but its still really cool!

Your timer is on the wrong layer so it doesn't show up as UI, but it's not bad for your first project

Developer

Thank you :)

The location where the enemy appeared in the second level was too close to the player's initial position. He lost before he could react.

Developer

I'll have to tweak that, thanks for playing :)

Good work.  Easy to play and good level design makes sense 

Developer

Thanks :)
