My antivirus couldn't decide if the game contained a virus or not and since it asks the permission to  access my memory I'll just wait for my antivirus to report me back on the safety of the app ^^

Alright I played it and I have to congratulate you on the choice of the sound effects and music, but most importantly the graphics and the simple but effective respawn curtain. When it comes to the gameplay, even though I raged a bit as per usual with platformers and I really did not like the keybinds (why Z and not the up arrow?), it was nice in general, with good variation in the levels. The bat was annoying however, but another thing is that I would have liked to see more inertia in the character and maybe a   larger   possible   distance to the wall     on the wall jump because I missed a lot of them because I barely missed the wall and turned right too soon.  And finally I'd like to point out that the removal of power at the end was well-integrated into the story   and didn't feel bad which is great. I like how you're strong first but then not as much anymore. So yeah that's what I thought of the game.

Fun game!  Your enemies look just like mine haha.  Keep working on it.  Great job submitting a game to the jam! Pls check out mine if you have time :)

I loved the guy with the gun when the wall jump was unlocked ^.^

It is a great submission but you should try to export your game in sort of the players do not have to install the game on their computer (standalone build). I do not know if it is possible on the software you use but it would be greatly valuable for that kind of jam !

Anyway, great submission !

Developer

Nice job on finding the Easter Egg! You're the second person I know of to find it :). I can look into the installation thing. This is the first game I've exported onto the internet for others to play so I'm still figuring stuff out. Glad you liked the game!

The interpretation of the theme is basic, but it is executed fairly well. Level design stays good for the most part. I don't find part at the end of the game, where there's a bunch of hoppers, to be fun. It goes on for way longer than it should. Though, that's the only problem I can point out without being overly nitpicky. A part of the game that I thought was interesting was when The Developer fixed the bugs. I just think that's a really creative and thematic way to increase the difficulty. All in all, it's a pretty good game. Nice job!

Developer(+1)

I appreciate the detailed feedback! Looking back on it, the ending with the hoppers is certainly not good level design lol. At the time when I was making it I had to finish the levels soon so I could begin working on other things, but that doesn't excuse the fact that the level design of the room was bad and the amount of hoppers was just unnecessary. Glad you still enjoyed the game and I really appreciate your honest feedback! :)

I like the amount of polish the game has in such a short amount of time. The enemies were fun but I wish it ended with a boss fight against the developer. Still really cool though

Developer

The plan was certainly for it to end with a boss fight but I ran out of time for that. Glad to hear you still enjoyed it!

I really like this game. The premise is pretty good and I really like the enemies you added such as bats and hoppers (which do hop). All it needs a few more sounds and maybe some sort of checkpoint system so that players don't have to replay certain parts when they die.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yea, the sounds were the last things I implemented and didn't have enough time to add as many as I wanted, but I didn't worry about too much since it's just a game jam. The game is meant to be on the harder side but I'll definitely take that checkpoint thing into consideration. Thanks for the feedback!
