Nice little platformer, with interesting level layout.
I would suggest adding sound effects and music; in the audio department, a little can go a long way to help the game world feel alive.
Also, I could not figure out what was making me weak every so often--the heart display in the top left corner never diminished.
Finally, please double-check the collision on the platforms. I frequently experienced a collision issue that significantly impeded my progress. I kept falling into the side of the platforms. From this position, I could not jump (presumably because the player is not considered "grounded").
For your convenience, I'm pasting a screenshot of the issue below.
Sorry about that when I updated the game I accidentally broke the hearts system to where it wouldn't go down. I will fix the collisions in an update today. Thank you for your feedback!
Game was fun, liked the controls, and the concept is unique!
The character controls are fine. The use of limitation doesn't have an important impact wihtin the game imo, the idea was original. all in all, nice entry!
Thank You for the feedback!
The platforming mechanics were god, and the sprite work and animation were solid. I honestly just didn't feel the weight down like the game said I would. I think weight could have been more of a factor. It's the start of something, but is still missing its something special.
Great game i like the visuals and overall atmosphere of the game . Good job!
Neat game. One thing is that the rate at which you jump and speed is so small I barely notice it. But other than that it was really fun
Also I would appreciate it if you played/rated my game.
Thank You For The Feedback! Yeah on the speed and gravity thing I accidentally nerfed it too much in the last bit of the jam because I wanted to make sure that it was possible. I will make sure to change it to a reasonable pace. Also Ill check out your game!
Cool game.
This is neat! The graphics are cute. I like how the character bounces.
