Great idea, not so great execution. The inverted controls and game items adapt to the theme perfectly. The problem is that platformers get really annoying if the player gets stuck in places, can't see where he goes, or moves too fast.
I see it is the first game you publish, as an amateur myself I understand your struggle. I wonder how good your games are gonna get once you get more experience, because you already have good ideas. Best of luck!
Yes it is our first game ever. Thanks so much for the feedback
Simple concept. I think the move speed is too fast to be precise and the movement is quite buggy: can't jump in between pillars, must jump over random blocks with nothing.
fun platformer game! I ran into a bug in the level where I couldnt seem to keep going forward without jumping but still added to the challenge lol.
I enjoy the music and your great twist with that fruits killing you and the spikes being safe. really flexed my brain at times.
love the concept! Cant seem to double jump tho,, I think its my skill issue hahahaa
This is a fun and punishing platformer, it's surprisingly easy to control despite the backwards controls. I like that the spikes and fruits are reversed for what they do in the game too! I got stuck on I think level 4 because the double jump was really inconsistent for me, I could only single jump most of the time and occasionally the double jump would work, but I needed to double jump to clear some water I think and it never worked for me there. Great job on this tho I had fun playing it!
Takes a while to get used to the backward movement but then it gets fun. I like the difficulty and I tried my best but with the camera not showing where I should land made it a bit random where to jump :P
A charming game! I do have to mention that I got stuck on flat ground several times. Also a lot of the difficulty I found came from the camera being focused too high above the player meaning I couldn't see where the next platform was
We did that on purpose to make the game harder
A hard platformer with tricky and a bit clunky movement. After sometime the repetitive soundtrack got a annoying. At level 3, it was impossible for me to beat the game (even though I am a professional Asssportler), cuz I couldn't see the comming objects. A better overview and some self-made assets would be a nice addition. Good job
