Nice Game! Everything is perfect (graphics, concept, etc) but the camera movement is not smooth as it not feels satisfying. Like when I try the level full of jump pad, I lost my eye focus. Not sure why this happens (maybe for the background or camera movement), but I know you can fix it. Otherwise everything is perfect!

So overall suggestion are:

- Change the background

- Decrease the sensitivity a bit

It was fun but I thought the water coming up and hitting you was kinda unfair

Thanks for playing! If I had more time, I would probably try to telegraph the water better :)

not sure whey exactly but it always felt like I can't see what I'm doing. Maybe parcour in 3rd person is just bad

Thanks for playing! Can you explain what the problem with the camera was? Was the depth perception not good enough, or was the sensitivity off or maybe something else?

NotRustyBotSubmitted8 days ago

The character being in the exact middle of the screen, as well as the camera pivoting around the character is probably the primary problem.

When I wanted to look somewhere, I guess i just intuitively try to center it on my screen, and the character always ended up in the way.

I also had trouble telling distances when I was in the air, I think it was because the camera is quite far behind the character, so its harder to tell how much further is the object than your character.

but looks like other ppl didn't have this problem, so could be just me

The *only* thing I would change would be to make sure the mouse can't leave the window.

Please win.

Thank you for playing! If you play in fullscreen I don't think the mouse should leave the window (At least not when I tested)

Nice entry! I would really like if you gave us a little more control with the camera because I sometimes couldn't see where I was going and the shadow wasn't all that helpful. Mouse sensitivity slider would be cool, but that is a minor thing.

Thanks for playing! I always have a hard time making camera controls for my games, so I'll try to improve on that in the future!

Fun game with real innovative and creative platforming, and a nice cutesy art style to top it off!

Solid job. I liked the controls and his cute little bouncing. Creative levels. I spent a while just bouncing between the bouncy pads

Thanks for the reply! It means a lot :)

Camera movement combined with the moving background made me reconsider if I really don't have epilepsy ;) But the controls were nice, levels creative, and I liked the music. Over all, solid job!

Thanks for the reply! I fixed the background, since you were now the second person who had complained (I don't wanna accidentally give someone a seizure lol)
