Game's take on the theme
You fight against enemys in a desert.
Game's take on the special object
You have special glasses that can see invisible walls. To see them you need to move the cursor onto the walls.
Did you use any third-party plugins other than Plus Music?
I used Unity and assets from https://penusbmic.itch.io/

The art and idea are so nice that I gave the game a second chance despite the annoying controls. At first, I thought it might be the WebGL's fault, but the Windows version's controls feel the same.
If you plan to continue this or making another platformers, I suggest searching about "coyote time" and "jump buffer". These are just small bits of extra code, but they make the jumps super responsive.
Additionally, I think you should reduce the shake effect a little bit, a little shake when the character fall from height or when they attack is cool, but constantly shaking when the character doing every little jump can be annoying.
I couldn't go farthest than the first column, my computer must be too slow... But the mood is cool, even if this is not about street fight, but we have a very good theme. Animations are very cool and music is not too pervasive.
the graphics and the sound are soo great !
The art is beautiful and it makes sense since its from penusbmic
And the gameplay core of the invisible walls with the glasses, is an amazing use of the theme.
But this doesn’t feel very street for me, and thats the only negative I have about it
Nonetheless, awesome game dude, and great work!
Thanks
First a question- I finish the first level. Then on the second one (it's night) some stuff collapses on me, and then... nothing? I can walk right for a really long time, and nothing happens.
Other than that I mostly liked the game. Animations were really nice (my kid loved the barrel guys), and the looking at platforms to see platforms is pretty fresh! Music and sfx worked to build the atmosphere too. The combat wasn't intuitive for me- I got my ass kicked all the time, but I discovered I can easily move past the baddies with jump and dash, so that's ok.
At the end it should kill you and an end screen should play. Sorry for the confusion and thank you for the constructive feedback
Really like the idea of using the glasses as a way to view hidden platforms!
I really like the art and the animations, high quality stuff!
The combat feels good too, although I couldn't figure out how to use the glasses, so I think it made some jumps pretty hard.
Overall a great submission, good job!
I like the art and idea, but didn't find any glasses in the game.
You have them on you and need to look for hidden walls. You can point the cursor onto where you think a wall could be and if there is one a sound will play and the transparency goes up
