Very good graphics

I had so much fun playing your game! It was hard to stop. 

My only suggestion is to make the spikes easier to see. It was sometimes frustrating to get hit just because they blended with the background too much. 

Developer

Thank you so much for playing our game, we are glad you enjoyed it,  and thank you for your feedback, will definetley make the spikes contrast more hehe

Lovely idea with an amazing art & sound to bring it to life! 

I agree with Fxy comment regarding the shield mechanic, it seems underutilized and even a little out of place after you figure out that you can kill enemies with your jump.  

My main issue with the game is that the platforming feels to floaty for its own good, however despite these issues the game just works and shows tons of charisma and potential, I could see this idea becoming a really good precision platformer.  

Congratulations!

wooow thank you so much for your kind words! and yes shield definetley needs work hehe also the physics we need to find a precise speed of movement and jumping, thank you so much for playing our game, we are glad you enjoyed it :D

This game has a nice atmosphere thanks to the great art and music choice.

The idea of controlling a downwell style jump in a side scroller is interesting but find this game has a lot of mechanics that don't flow with the design entirely, mostly around the shield being the way to damage enemies that collide with you, it gets a lot less use than the other two abilities , especially since the contact damage overlaps with the dash functionality.

The stamina system feels out of place for this game where I can mostly fly over obstacles with the jump boosts for trivial stamina compared to the dash. The levels don't feel designed around the rate it decreases so I don't get the feeling that I made all the optimal moves to clear the stage with the right amount of stamina management, especially when I have to wait for it to refill after falling in a pit or just standing in a safe place. I wonder if borrowing even more from downwell with a stamina system that refills after landing or if the stamina refills were in more rewarding locations.

The camera in the first stage is way too close for where the platforms are, especially given that I can jump out of frame with no way of telling where my character will land beyond where the camera lerps to.

The pixelart is nice, I think the level design could be a bit better, as theres a lot of spikes that don't really feel like they should be placed where they are and I just walked into without noticing. Also the jump is really high and the walking is pretty slow.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing it and for your feedback! we will definetly modify the physics hehe

I like the usage of the downwell style of jump, my main issue was not seeing the things that would hurt me, and the colliders seemed to be bigger than what they looked, which increased the difficulty by a large margin.

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad at least one feature was really well adaptep hehe, thank you for your feedback and for playing our game we really appreciate it

I Love The Graphics, I Gonna Say, I Really Dislike The Camera, It Doesn't Show What Your Need To See, Also The First Machine That Destroys The Laser, I Didn't Know What I Did, I Dash A Couple Of Times But It Didn't Do Anything, Also Before That I Was Shown That I Can Dash Through Laser I Though That Was Needed To Pass The Lasers...

Developer

Thank you so much for playing our game and for your feedback will definetly work on a better way to make the camera and the first level to be more clear :D

Great game! unfortunately it was a bit awkward to grip because of my german key board (Y and Z are flipped)
