Nice job having a config menu before it started. Nice music and art style. I'm not sure which game was reimagined here and it took me a minute to realize I was supposed to bounce on the aliens 'Mario style' to finish them off but once I knew that, I did ok. The counter for the aliens left didn't work for me so each time I killed an alien, the counter still showed 0. I wish the camera showed me where I was headed instead of having to use the mouse to look around. Also the Return To Main Menu button didn't work for me. Overall, it was a good job!

Thanks! I really should have given myself more time to work with it as I only used 2 hours before the deadline, but  I'm happy I was able to submit something, and I will try to do a better job of time management for next year's Jam!

The main menu works, but the menu canvas in the game screen doesn't.

Jump feels quite floaty, and especially for the double-jump roling one would expect then to have a powerful attack going down on the enemy to make a real hit...

Sometimes I jumped on one and there was like a time freeze where I just hovered above the attacker until I did something else...

And while jumping on one of the enemies (a second time) did seem to defeat them properly, the kills were never registered for the score...

Thanks for the review! I really only had about 2 hours before the deadline to work on my entry and it looks and feels rushed. I will try to do a better job of testing and project planning for my next entry!

Hey Sketche99,

Nice looking game with pretty good feeling controls on the character! Seems like a solid start for a game!

I am wondering what should I be doing though in the game. I can jump on the things (are those aliens with a mugger mask?!) and they seem to get killed, but not sure if that's what you are supposed to do. Killed counter starts at 20/0 and never changes. And I can't find anything else in the world that I could interact with. So, I am a bit lost.

One bug encountered: The instructions on the menu doesn't work. Can't get them to show up.

Anyway, good start for game!

Cheers!

Thanks for the review! Unfortunately I was really rushing my entry 2 hours before the deadline, and I didn't get a chance to really test and polish. Next time I'll be sure to not submit until I test first!
