Not much to say - pretty typical platformer, but it's not a bad things, cause playing this was a pleasure. Neat use of limitations, although FPS without sub pixels is no way near acceptable. Wish to have a liiiiiiitle higher jump, but that would make everything too easy xD

I limited the FPS in non-subpixel mode to 40, because anything above that causes the movement to be so shaky and unbearable in my opinion. I think that also makes sense as games with such resolution were always made for older hardware with even FPS as low as 10! I believe the level design is was needs to be tweaked not the jump. What do you think? I'm happy you enjoyed the game!
Level desing is fine - feels natural, at least. But add a little jump power, and it will be like a chef's kiss. ALSO! (chainsaw blades have smaller collider than a sprite - better fix that, cause that's the only major flaw i can name). And check our game as well - we are interested in getting as much feedback as we possibly can!
Preparing phase ends in like a second really. Here is what you can do:
1) load the game in incognito mode. (it might be that the essential files to run the game didn't load correctly and the corrupt version is cached)
2) If that doesn't solve the problem, open the Console. Right click anywhere on the page --> Insepct --> Console tab --> reload the page and show me whatever error you get.

I agree that the position of the checkpoints could use some work. Part of the reason I failed to notice it at first was because I thought the game was too easy, which I quickly figured out wasn't true when I watched my little sister try it for me after I released the game. I will keep that in mind when I'm working on the game next time, I might also update existing levels if I have the time to do so. As for the enemies not reseting position, the game actually reloads the levels when you die, which means they should get back to their intitial position. I think that initial position wasn't perfectly placed or timed either. I will keep all that in mind in the future. Thank you! I'm glad you liked the game.

The secret item is hidden really well in that level, being the last, in an unexpected position. I can assure you it exists if that's your concern. Good luck!

I intentionally made the hitboxes on the spikes, blades, enemies smaller than their actual sprites to make the game feel more fair and lenient.
As you can infer from the screenshot, the hitboxes for the spikes are 3x1 which I think is fair considering that the player also has a bit smaller hitbox. Let me know if you still think it's larger than needed. I think my level design skills are to blame and the placements of the spikes wasn't ideal in certain places. (also there are no subpixels in the game, the hitboxes are updated to match the actual position, while the graphics are drawn at their rounded whole pixel values, thus not matching exactly in the screenshot)
Hmm... I think the placement of the spikes could be a factor as to why I felt the way that I felt. One thing I would try (but feel free not to) is make the spike's hit box only one pixel wide, but the full two pixels tall. I never felt like I couldn't jump over them more so that I felt like I'd hit them when jumping a couple pixels away from them, if that makes sense. It's always interesting how as gamedevs, we always make the game more fair than fair, but somehow even more lenience is required than originally thought.
Just want to reiterate though that I thought the game was very enjoyable as a whole, so good work!
