  • This is a great game to make in such a short time, im honestly suprised. It fits the jam theme with the various and high quality sound effects and bgm's as well. I don't see alot of downsides to point out other than the floaty controls that makes it hard to use jump pads etc but other than that, great job.

Honestly the only thing good about this game is the art...

Controls are too slippery, I'm still quite confused how to play, why is "A" the jump key??

It's overall 3/10 imo.

I’m kind of surprised that you gave me a score that is worse than a far more inferior Sonic game I made with my other friends, while someone else gave me a 9/10 for my game.

And a 3/10 is the same score I gave to this guy: https://itch.io/jam/scratch-game-jam-01/rate/1921992

I also have trouble understanding why people are still complaining about the keys. And second, the controls here is very simple. It’s not like Contra after all, which uses a heck a lot more complex controls than this. Also, I chose A, S, and D because I feel like they’re more modern than Z and X.

3/10 seems to be a bit too low ngl, however, the slippery controls you mentioned are true. There weren’t a lot of good Sonic engines out there, and many people didn’t take advantage of that. I might need to do more surfing in the future.

Well, just because some controls may be more "modern" doesn't mean you should use them.

Also, couldn't you have just turned down the slipperiness in the engine??

Also also, the reason I gave it a 3/10 is because the only good thing about this game is the art, everything else was pretty bad ngl

So, the music and the sound effects are also bad?

Have you reached the 2nd boss yet? Or reached the ending of the game?

well i played for like 5 minutes, and stopped because of the terrible controls, but maybe the music and sounds are good, i have no idea

Ahh, there you go. You missed the most important part of the game, which is the 2nd stage and the ending. You could have pushed yourself a bit further, because the controls on the 2nd stage are far less terrible than the platformer one.

I would also like to point out here that sometimes it isn’t nice to give a very poor score on someone’s game if you quit prematurely because you could have missed a lot of important details. It sometimes would be considered as disrespecting the developer, especially since they have worked hard on their games, going through the pain on the bug fixes and the intense programs they have to produce. Imagine if someone actually did that, published it, only to have people making rants against it, yeah, it’s easy to tell that the developer can feel very bad, and even regret making that game. Just because people give feedback doesn’t mean it’s going to do any good, and just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should do it; there are bad people out there who gives harsh comments impulsively.
I’m not saying that you give a bad feedback or feedback and criticism is bad, though, what I’m saying is that we should all sometimes view the full contents of the program before giving feedback, while giving respect with words of encouragement to improve later on.

I played both of your games, and your content definitely has a lot less than mine, no offense, but I still give you a score higher than a 5 on both of them, while you gave me a 3/10.

In my game, I worked pretty hard at the 2nd stage and the ending cutscene, as I give a big emotional tunes into it.

It is important to elaborate on what you give feedback, and then bring your thoughts together for your final speech.

However, I still appreciate your feedback about the slippery controls on the 1st stage, because I do have to find another engine to use. Although, finding a really good, flawless, and responsive Sonic engine is very difficult, which is why a lot of Sonic engines on Scratch aren’t that good. I have to use what I got, but feedback is still needed either way.

I’m not mad at you or anything. I‘m just giving you some advice so that next time, you can view full contents on another person’s game, and then give your final thoughts to it as a whole, while giving encouragement to improve later on in the future, WITHOUT hurting or triggering the feelings of others. Just saying…

And speaking of feelings, don’t feel bad about yourself for sharing your incomplete experience. We all make mistakes here, and what matters the most is that we all learn from our own mistakes. Even I make mistakes as well. I know most of us seen adults, yet, so what matters the most is the effort we put into our games, and then rethink about the mistakes we make so that we can improve in the future. It takes time, but we’ll get through it.

ain't no way im reading that whole paragraph 💀💀💀

I read it, and... yeah half the things you brought up didn't make sense.

Developer

I’m just saying, try to be better next time. It’s still good that you give feedback, but just like…view at least most of the program’s contents before reviewing.

No hard feelings.

Submitted

you can't just say the most rude thing ever, and then say "No hard feelings.", or "No offence though." 💀

Developer

Bro wth? What I said isn’t rude, all I’m doing is simply trying to encourage you to be better, but this is  just like ever other 90% of the people who I talked to, who never listens to points and just fight back. It’s so disappointing how I was trying to be friendly to you but the only result I get is unsupportive words.

Well, listen, I’m not trying to be the only one here who is right and you’re wrong. If you can’t handle to the points I made, then we’re just gonna have to set this aside and move on.
