Nice little game :) Congrats on it being your first jam too!
Lava is too fast for me bro ! also check out my game !
I liked the animations and controls, it felt really satisfying to run and jump around and fight enemies. There were quite a lot of platformers where you had to escape rising lava in this jam, so it was a really good choice to make the gameplay itself so satisfying! I’m not sure the background music fits the game that well though,
Cool game the animations looked really good, good luck with the jam :)
UPDATE
Thanks to everyone who gave feedback!
I think having an artist would elevate matters. Also for gameplay I think having checkpoints + polishing combat would make it a better entry. Good job tho!
Smooth movement, but the lava is too fast
I have zero tolerance for AI art + The game felt very unpolished
movement is smooth but slightly on the slower end, killing enemies is kinda useless and takes too much time i like the atmosphere
Game was very smooth. Animations were well implemented. I think it would be a lot more satisfying if the skeletons could be defeated in 1 hit so you don't need to stand still fighting them for as long
The Game was great, I enjoyed it, but I feel like the character should move a little bit faster and I need a reason to kill the enemies eg. When killing them the lava stops rising or something but overall the controls are great
Good luck!
The atmosphere here was really good. Especially the music choice which perfectly fit the vibes. Though I do think that there wasn't much incentive to kill the enemies and the speed of the lava discouraged killing them so players may not get to interact with a part of your game. But even without that part, it was fun to run away. There were also a lot of leap of faith moments and one tight annoying section near the end.
Hello! I enjoyed playing your game. I wish I had a little more time to fight the enemies I felt like I had to jump past them and not fight them otherwise I risked the java catching up and killing me. I really liked the player sprite and attacks felt good
