Good game! I like the goofy South park style character who naruto runs! The SFX, Animations, and BGs are well done. I think the glasses ability is pretty unique and cool as well. My main issue was playing on keyboard. I couldn't figure out the controls because they are not included in the game or description. It took me a while to figure out the glasses and I never found the dash

Developer

Thanks for playing. 

Yes game was made for controller. Keyboard was only for testing in the Editor. 

Dash and double jump are in the game but not playable at the Moment. Because the game is not done because of an error that i have in my last game dev week.

Cheers

Really juicy and funny game, picking up the glasses really made me laugh.  I liked how you taught the player about the mechanic with the text coming up in the background.  I did find it a little unintuitive that the glasses were changing the level and not just revealing that something was there, but once I got used to it it was no big deal.  I do feel like the spikes are a little hard to see, especially the very first ones that appear since the player doesn't know they exist yet, but again was all good once I knew to look out for them.

Thanks for the great submission!

Hey! Thank for playing my prototype of a Game :D. So the problem is that i have a Unity error (Building Player failed) and cant build a new version of this game. so i uploaded my last version this porotyp. After the letters appears, you fall in the first Boss room and there is a not finished Boss and thats all in this version. I still try to figure out the error till now. cheers :)

First, I will admit I'm not sure if I finished the game or barely started it. I reached the point where music starts and the credits appears, which could be an indication of either. The thing is that I hit pause and a single button labeled "Button" appeared in the middle of the screen. Curiosity got the better of me and I clicked on it. Turns out it's the close button... I started the game again but it didn't save my progression, so I stopped there. Please let me know if I was actually at the end or if I need to go back to it.

I will say I liked the glasses mechanic. I initially thought it was like the Lens of Truth in Zelda, only revealing hidden platforms, but it actually changes the world, which is a pretty nice twist and made for a few interesting puzzles. Though I would have liked a way to preview the changes they bring, as there's a few places where toggling them up will reveal thorns under your feet and kill you. I also got stuck inside a platform a one point when I materialized it at the wrong time. I could toggle it off to escape, so not a big issue.

The animations suffer a bit from the "paper doll" effect and the environments had a few visual issues at the seams. The parallax at the bottom of the first shaft confused my senses a bit. But the sound effects were really nice! They felt hefty in a satisfying way. Having some visual feedback when hitting the slimes would have been a nice way to complement them.

Overall it felt more like a pure platformer than a metroidvania, but again, maybe I only played through the intro? If you tell me there's more to it, I may revisit it ;)
