  • Cool character and art style
  • Was nice to hear some sound when doing actions as well (i.e. jumping)
  • Jumping made the sprite smaller (or at least felt that was the case)
  • Falling off the ledge on the left side of the screen would make you infinitely fall without restarting the game
  • Gun shooting water was nice but sprite got stuck on the water squirting out sprite
  • Couldn't find anything else to do then go left and right and avoid the white rectangle, but can for sure build up more metroidvania mechanics on top of this

Good early build, keep at it!

Very cute graphics! I really like the general art direction and character animation. I'd like to see how this game evolves in the future! A couple of points of feedback:

  • There were few graphical bugs like the character would shrink in scale when jumping and the water pistol don't flip properly when facing the right so the protagonist holds it upside down. It wasn't end of the world, but it was a little trippy to watch haha.
  • Granted it was a placeholder, but it wasn't clear what the white rectangle was before I jumped into it and died. It may have been nice if the character had some health so players aren't immediately sent back to the start.
  • It's an early build, but there wasn't any indication of any metroidvania elements. So far, it feels more like a platformer with some future combat.

The look of the game alone is very pleasing though so I hope more will be added to it. Conceptually, I like the idea of a kid on rollerblades going around with a water pistol. There's a lot of potentially story there!

Something is wrong with the rar file. I get a checksum error trying to decompress it.
