Great work! I thought it was a very good concept. You did an amazing job considering it was by yourself. The sprites, the artstyle, everything looks well-made. There were a few hitbox-questionable moments however. A few of the parts where you have to press 'c' to duck, when I was pressed against the wall, I couldn't press 'c'. I had to back up a little bit and then press 'c'. Also if I spam 'c' (trying to break your game xD), the animation looks a bit awkward. Speaking of the controls, I honestly found the 'c' for crouching a bit inconvenient. I'm not sure, it just didn't feel right, because I usually use my index finger to press D and move right but to crouch I'd have to switch my middle finger to D and index finger to C. Also, I feel like the left shift to run faster should be introduced earlier in the game? I felt like I was walking too slowly in my opinion and just had to spam jump to move forward. I think there should also be some cues that certain things were done (for example I didn't know whether I actually pressed the button or not) and maybe like a death sound animation? But hey I'm just being super nitpicky! I thought it was an excellent game, I enjoyed it a lot! I loved the scoring system and how it's like those 3-star games like Angry Birds and judges you on how slow you were xD. Hope you continue making more games!

Thank you so much for your comment! You've pointed out so many new problems here. It's amazing how everyone view this game from a totally different perpective. Using C for crouch feels natural to me, because i have hands all over the keyboard and I'm used to write with 10 fingers, also C stands for crouch, loool XD. But I totally can understand that for people not used to write like this, it may be a bit weird. Trying to break the game is encouraged! People may find out so many new things with this method :D. And with the sounds, it's really hard for me to do sounds and sound design, because I never ever really play games with sounds on, I'm used to listen to Youtube or Spotify when playing, so this is totally my weakest point. Thank you!
Absolutely! No problem :) It's great to point out the little stuff or any stuff in general! Especially with a large audience, it definitely helps to see so many different perspectives (aside from those who just say they enjoyed the game and ditch haha). I also listen to a lot of music but I find that sound effects are so important so that in and out of itself needs to be like its own day of work!
