There is potential with this game. A few things that need to change to take it from average to exceptional. You audio is excellent I wouldn’t change a thing except maybe have an options menu at the start for sound and music as not everyone likes chiptune. Graphics for the character and story are awesome the only thing keeping it from being great is the background. Just a little more time into the visuals for the background would have been awesome like the first few levels could be the science building or something. The mechanics are okayish, the reason why this gets an average score in this regard is because there is one other game that is similar but they used an asset pack instead of making their own graphics however this also drops your originality down. Theme is on point, but minus points for no 3D, No mobile, no leaderboards. That would have at least put your game slightly above average. But keep at it dude I’m sure this can be a great game.

Thanks for the detailed review! There were sure things we would have liked to add to game had time allowed. The background being one of them. Qurious how our mechanics score is affected so strongly by there being one similar game. After all, we were quite oblivious to what others might have been up to while developing and tried to just come up with something at least a bit original. Anyway, I'm sure there has to be some kind of metric for differentiating the reviews and I accept your criticism! Maybe next time we will be more prepared for these kinds of expectations!
Do not worry bro, you all good. I wasn’t too harsh on your rating like you said only 1 other dev did more or less the same thing. I understand that time is an issue for most devs in these jams. If you need a pixel artist for your next jam dm me on discord. I also do 3d modelling as well. I will say this your auto jump is better timed than the other game.
