This is a nice start. The player character was really hard to control for the platformes being so small. I think it would be easier to control if you had used up/w to jump so you aren't moving with two hands and then need to switch to a mouse to shoot. Is there a double jump? I fell in on of the fire pits and it kind of stinks because you can't just hop out.

The controls were a bit floaty for my liking, found it quite hard to have any precision in the platforming. That said, I otherwise really liked the idea, the vocal sounds were great to hear, reminded me of some much older projects.

Some more feedback on getting hit or taking damage in fire would be nice, and I’m not sure if you could destroy the yellow turrets or not, but so help me god I tried for a while XD
