Awesome! A worthy successor to Mouth Man.

I have a few minor complaints:

  • The running animation is not quite synced to the player move speed, so it sometimes looks like you are moonwalking.
  • Even with z-targetting, it is pretty frustrating to actually land an attack on the skeletons - it seems like it is always better to avoid them altogether.

Now for the good stuff:

  • The soundtrack is good! And it was cool to hear the tracks fade in and out as your moved between areas!
  • The art is good! You captured that low-poly 3d platformer look! The lighting, models, and level layouts all evoked the collect-a-thon era in the best way.
  • The Halloween theme was a blast! I loved the hopping skeletons, rolling skeletons and cobweb trampolines.
  • There was a lot of variety on display here. You manage to create a lot of different platforming challenges, and densley pack them into connected biomes that really feel alive!
  • The movement was a little quirky, but overall it felt really satisfying to run and jump around the world! Just travelling from point A to point B was a good time.

this is super legit! the graphics, the tunes, the vibes are perfect. nailed the old school look and feel. the platforming was fun and the double jump was neat to nail tough jumps. one thing might be the combat felt that i didn't have full agency in the sense that it was hard to consistently land shots even with the lock on, so i ended up just firing an unending barrage of shots and just jumping/waiting until the enemy died. but it could just be a skill issue idk. thoroughly enjoyed it, and is definitely something i would play if it was fleshed out fully.
