Finally got around to play this one, cinematic intro was a pleasant surprise!
Nice take on og game.
On to them topics, then:
Gameplay:
the only problem I had is that 3d fire height is somewhat hard to eyeball, like, sometimes you feel like you gonna make only to underjump by a little. Otherwise, it works.
Art/Animations:
I lack competency to go into details, sry. Everything seems to be working together, looks tasteful.
Sound design:
Overall, it's okay. But i'd like to point out few potential issues:
1) seems like a bit too much sub bass on the intro theme(menu), was using headphones while playing - intro got me lil uncomfortable, so I went to check and here it is:
2) Main theme starts a bit rushed, I think it. Maybe it would be cool to start it with a lower tempo and speed it up gradually or keep changing themes along the gameplay.
Overall, I liked the game, none of them issues listed above are really a problem.
In fact, the only real thing that actually bothered me was "throwing a gecko" restart animation/sequence. I felt kinda sad for lil guy, don't like to see em gettin' hurt.
And now, the real question - can you make it into chrome extension?)
