I had a similar experience like Graugen, I could not tell that the top right corner UI was a button and got stuck in the first area. I gave it another go when I saw your reply to Graugen. Like Graugen, I too had a drop in frame rate in the area with the red barrier which made the game unplayable so I had to stop there. 

But what I managed to experience was enjoyable so I updated my rating to be higher! Btw, this game has the smallest spikes I have ever seen in a game :D

I have enjoyed the graphic and sounds. Playing around levels is fun, but was stucked in texture 2-3 times -> but  it is okay :D
Thanks for your game!
Hope you could try our game too :-D

I had a collider issue pop up towards the end and it caused a whole lot of bother but I scraped by,  just about. 

Thanks for playing and I will certainly check out your game.

I couldn't work out how to get out of that initial area but I can see from the other comments that people have been able to so I'm a lil confused but anyway. From what i saw on the first room the art and animation was very good and so was the audio, the controls also felt very responsive, really nice work!

Developer

Thanks for checking it out. There was a clickable UI button in the top right which could be pressed but I didn't clearly highlight.

appreciate your feed back.

Hey i gave it another go, it was just me not realising the text at the top right was a button, i played through the first level which was fun and i liked how u designed it to teach the player the different mechanics, but when i got to the second level it went into this weird slow motion mode which I couldn't get out of.  Feedback's basically the same as last time, really fun game with a few annoying lil bugs stopping you from enjoying it

Really enjoying the art especially in the beginning.  Scenes are well thought of, making it a challenging game. However, collider bug was getting on my nerves :P

Thanks for taking the time to play.

A challenging platformer! It seems that when the player changes from left to right or vise versa the player moves over a bit. This can be really frustrating when making a jump and then turning and hitting some spikes. I really appreciate how you teach the player they can dash through the green guys just like the walls by having a non-moving one. I completed the first bit and then when I died on the red bit the game started to lag really bad and continued to for that portion of the game. This happened several times and I had to force close the game and replay all the way back to that section each time. Unfortunately, I cannot finish the game because of this. I played for quite awhile and it just got too frustrating for me. I do like the art and the animations were pretty neat. I really hope you keep working on this in the future!

Thanks for your time to check out my game. Your words are dead on, I had some major collider and sprite flipping issues towards the end and had to scrabble to finish. 

Look forward to checking out your game

Smooth animations with a unique art style. The messaging was pretty horrific too. Found myself getting stuck a lot but would be a fun concept to expand on as a  phycological horror platformer.

A major bug on the 6th day or so threw my plan out the window and my level design suffered the most. But your words are inspiring  and I really appreciate you trying out my game. Thanks

@Tez0808 Art style was very unique it was fun to play, music was fitting it just perfectly fits with the message you are trying to convey though I think the hitboxes were not very perfectly placed, but overall good job :D

I really appreciate your feed back. And look forward to trying out the other games on your creator page.

The style and graphics are really really cool, and the messages in the game are something that I didnt see in any other game I played which really made it unique and interesting.


I think the music that almost sounds like a trap beat didnt fit as well as it could with some of the messages in the game, but it sounds good regardless. The controls are simple, and easy to use. I enjoyed it a lot!

Sorry about the collider bug ):

Thanks for the play through really appreciated.
