Enjoyment - A rage platformer + a metroidvania is a cool idea. It might be cool if after you pass a section the fake tiles disappeared. Would help with back tracking n stuff.
Execution - Very good start! The character feels a bit heavy, but can be fixed with some tweaking.
Visuals - Nice pixel art! Making some more ground tiles would help it look less repetitive for sure.
Audio - I can't remember the sound much... (only foot steps?) this free sound maker is great for retro style games/proto types if you wanna add more. https://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html
Metroidvania - The lore seems like an awesome idea for a Metroidvania!
Keep it up and good work! And please check out my game when you can :D
Thanks for your review I will work on it in the next update
Visually stunning and looks like it would fit right into a metroidvania game. But it plays like a Super Meat Boy style game and I honestly couldn't get very far before I gave up.
Remembering each fake block was a chore and I ended up spamming space bar to try to get through it to get more of an opinion.
Controls very nicely, looks wonderful, but too frustrating unfortunately.
I want to start by saying the game looks great, the lighting is pretty and makes the world feel enticing and somewhere I want to explore. The player controls well in my opinion. To contrast that my experience was pretty rage inducing(which is intended by your description) and I didn't make it very far before rage-quitting. However I know that rage games are not my favorite so I may not be the target audience. I just wish there was *some* indication of the fake blocks being fake, or that there was a powerup that gives you that indication. Also, not sure if this was intentional, but there was music when I started the game but it stopped when playing. Regardless, its a pretty game and has an interesting backstory!
thanks for your review and I liked your opinion about some power up I will surely add it in the next update
