It is a very cool game, and it's harder than it looks. I think some animation on the plane and the pinwheels could make it feel more active, but the basic concept and execution is amazing.

I would love to here your feedback on my game, FreeFall. https://jacjson.itch.io/freefall (plays in browser)

Thanks for your feedback man ! Animation was a kind of my last preoccupation ahah

For your game, I really wanted to play it because I love Celeste and it's mechanics, thought of working a project like that before switching to RE-WIND (the movement didn't felt good). Anyway, I am super disappointed that I can't play as I have a French keyboard and switching in my head the keys' place to find the corresponding one on English keyboard is too difficult :(

However from what I saw of it the art is awesome and your Celeste-movement and jump are really nice ! ( That correspond to the only English keys I succeed to figure out ahah)

So my feedback ? Make it French keyboard compliant and I'd love to play to give you a real feedback :D

So sorry, I didn't even think about keyboards when making it! What is the problem when you try to use a French keyboard? This is my first game and I don't really understand what the differences could be.

No worries, you couldn't know !
FYI, the keys in French and English keyboards are not in the same place. Imagine playing a game and the keys to walk are in zqsd position instead of wasd position on English keyboard. So usually I switch keyboard language when you can't change the key directly in game and switch in my head the position of the keys, than the "z" for me becomes "w". However, for your game I don't even know where some of the keys could be on the English keyboard like [ for example.

You shouldn't really even consider it as something to care about, it's French people fault by decided to get a different keyboard than the rest of the world ahaha

Oh, that makes sense. But FYI, the [ is to the right of P.

Your game is a really cool platformer i sure am going to bookmark this. The controls are a little bit hard. Could you please check out my game if you have time: https://janjcl.itch.io/revengeonebos

Thanks for playing! I went through yours; it was a lot of fun! Very reminiscent of an old NES game. One thing I would add is a crouch, or making the player collider the same size as the player, because I felt robbed of a few lives because I got hit in the square above me.
