Hi,

I'm going to get super analytical (because that's my bag yo) these are also in order of when I encountered a thing or thought of a thing.

  • Trust the player. We all play games as well as make them and with that come some expectations. I already was jumping around well before the sign told me to.
  • Really loved the inclusion of sudo-narrative elements within the tutorial. The sign where it asks why the teleporters are there. Include that more?
  • I like the little bit in lvl2 where you designed the level to allow the player to fail a jump, but then caught them after. Made me smile ;)
  • The passable blocks are hard to read when moving. They are not that different from the solid ones. Maybe make that stand out a tad more. Not too much or it will be TOO obvious.
  • I think I ran out of time because the game reset on lvl3. Had some awkwardness with a slight difficulty spike there. (got it on my sixth try by holding my breath and not blinking ;) )
  • Last level is similar, with the number of mistakes I was making I struggled. However, once I did it I felt SUPER awesome!!
All in all, great job. I dug the graphics, a nice mono color color scheme is always great to see. And the feed back the player gets when jumping is awesome, the little :o face the cube pulls is great!

Good job again mate,

Thanks for the reply!

While I'm sure the majority of other jammers are quite familiar with standard PC platformer controls I also wanted some of my friends and family to try this out so I wanted to be very clear lol. Speaking of which I'm probably going to try to redo parts of the levels to make some of it a little easier so beginners can play more of it. When I'm doing that I'll keep these comments in mind, but I definitely still want that great feeling of beating a tough last level.

You know, I didn't think of newbies or family so good catch on that one. Now I'm not saying hand it to the on a plate, I managed to beat the levels with some perseverance. However, I also had moments where I wanted to just quit. I think it stems from the time limit placed on the player, if I fell on the last level with 20seconds left I would just wait it out and try again the next one.
