The gameplay is quite good, and makes no assumptions on what the player knows. The art-style is slightly simplistic, but it does fit the theme nicely. Difficulty wise... I'm sticking to FPS games (I couldn't beat level 3). I think this was mostly because of the one-block openings that you have to weave through and partly because of the movement speed of the enemies.

Overall, it was a great experience, especially with the gameplay!

Hi! Finally got to play the game! Beat it in 180 seconds first playthrough (with 30 deaths haha).

Your game gave me some really old-school DOSgame vibes, pretty neat for nostalgia reasons hehe. The gameplay was simple, but as a whole it was still engaging and made me want to keep on going! The short levels make retrying easy and make deaths feel a lot more forgiving so on the level design part that's a good call!

Some pros that I found in your game:

- The controls are very responsive, nothing more to be said there!

- The colour coding of enemies is a smart approach, especially one to keep in mind as you potentially build on this game.

- The difficulty curve in levels was very good!

- The design of the game was made done very straightforward and I'd like to believe not a single player will question what they're meant to do!

Now some things that I think might improve the game:

- A little polish such as a fade out/in screen upon new levels is a great touch that'll increase the perceived quality of a game by loads, without being too hard to implement.

- The hitboxes felt a little bit too tight (I think the hitboxes were exactly the size of the actual sprites?). Generally you'll want hitboxes to be sliiiightly smaller than the actual graphics (reaction time with the brain and whatnot) however, for the theme/style, this might actually be just fine as I believe most games back then had really strict hitboxes on their graphics.

- The level design, while good in difficulty curving, felt a bit random. A rule I tend to stick to, myself, is that I try to have every single block, obstacle, everything have a meaning in the level, in order to make a player do something, to guide them, or to challenge them. 

Thank you for your submission and I'm looking forward to see what you come up with in future jams!

I really enjoyed this one! I just dig how simple it is, and there is something about it that does really speak to the feel of old flash games. It feels like something I would've played on a school computer in middle school or something, and I mean that in the best way! It just has a nice vibe.

I didn't love some of the level design. Occasionally it would feel a bit like there were just enemies all over the place, and the setup of little gap with an enemy going back and forth in it started to feel a bit overused in my opinion. But that could also just be because I was pretty terrible at the game too, haha. I did really like the concept of the level where you had walls of enemies on either side of you; that mixed things up a bit!

Overall, awesome work! I got nine coins... wanted to go back and get the final one so I could play the extra level, but it seemed like it meant playing the whole thing again, and I oughta rate some other games today. Maybe I'll come back at some point!

The world hardest game-like type of game, but this one I could finish. Fun was had. Great work!! :-)

Fun semi-puzzle game

Hey! It's like the world's hardest game but you don't have to worry about dy-- oh I just died on the first level.

Simple but fun game

Finished the game in around 5 minutes. Solid, but average.

(Potentially?) Bug: Coin does not re-spawn after you picked them up and die on the same round, after you pass the level later and it would still counted towards you picked it up.
