While this game is fun to play and level 4 threw me off completely. The game does leave a lot to be desired. I am not sure about if the graphics are made by the developer or assets but nothing was said in the description to verify that. so I am unable to give a correct rating on that stand point. The audio lacking would have been nice to hear some quirky music play in the background just to give you that average score. Speaking of backgrounds, again while a basic background, it still doesn’t have that wow factor visually. Innovation is average having the platforms spin was interesting. In line with the theme, 3d would have been awesome, or at the very least have something to collect and have a leaderboard. There is nothing motivating the player to move forward. I hope you work on this a bit more. Keep it up.

1) I used assets,I have already wrote there "Art and music is not made by me"(view game page)
2)I don't agree on that,I think the background should be simple and good.
3)there is mobile support,If u tried opening it with mobile u will see the controls
4)Again,Every game don't need to be 3D or 2.5D to look "awesome".
5)I thought of adding the leaderboard but it will be useless since it's a small game.
6)I don't think that we have to add something to "motivate the player to move forward" Sometimes,it's just simple gameplay that motivates the player
Hey Vigor, look man I am not here to doubt your development skills. I am trying to give you some constructive input one dev to another. I’m sorry I didn’t see your art and assets in the description until you said it. It was extremely small for a old developer like me to see but you need to mention where you got the assets and credit it is in the rules. I am not saying you should make your game 3D or 2.5D or have leaderboards but the actual judges do give points for that in the jam if they think your game wasn’t good enough they do it to average out your game. I’m just helping you to broaden your scope in game development. As for the mobile support I am playing on pc so I would not have seen it and you need to verify that in your description for people that are rating you game on pc. I am not nailing you for it, I’m helping you, your game is good dude. When it comes to motivating the player let me tell you something from someone like me that has been playing games for 25 years and developing them for 10. Motivation to the player is everything what is the point of people playing the game if there is not a reward for doing so beside finishing it. All I am saying is put coins and a score counter or anything to get the player to the next level. I’ll go back and change my rating ok just be mindful of how you respond to comments it shows what kind of a person you are to the judges and they do read comments.
Hey man I get it. Nobody wants to be criticized God knows I don’t like it especially living with a dad like mine for 27 years. We all here to help each other get good at what we do to be a community. Take everything with a pinch of salt. Take a breath and calm down it has been a loooooong 9 days for all of us man. Don’t stress to much most of us are not out to put you down. We want to see you be a great developer. Stay Retro Vigor.
