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

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!
Dreamnoid actually said basically everything there is to say.
I will just add +1 for gamepad support! :)
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 ;)
