Love the cool retro monitor look and the NEON theme is brilliant.
If my monitor had shaked this much I had brought him to a repair shop ;-)
Don't like monitor shaking at all, makes me dizzy.

That's unfortunate! Was it the screenshake upon death or the slight tilting of the screen in whichever way you move in any given level?
I remembered how as a kid I would lean into whatever direction I'd move in a virtual space with my full body and wanted to replicate that feeling somehow but I'm not sure whever that implementation here was successful...
Thanks so much for your feedback!
This "slight tilting" makes me feel uncomfortable like, "The monitor is defect, beter stop playing."
Btw. why is it bending, nailed from the top left ? I don't see a retro - technical or game related meaning for the bending !?
Hard screenshakes, like in the death event, makes me dizzy.
Would be nice if all these could be optional. ;-)
Oh and i think the glowing trail is a bit to massive, for me it could be a bit more "alpha".
On tight jumps I lost view of the position caused by the trail glow.
Had some chrashes on hitting the exit cube. But I don't now under wihich conditions.. It is the SuperPlatformer not the Post-Jam Version.
Need to test this one also :-)
Hi, this great feedback is super valuable to me! Thanks so much! The monitor tilting seems to be bugged; it should be from the center and the idea was to give a bit more feedback when you're running and coming to a sudden stop like jumping into walls. I'm not sure whether it was successful; some people liked it, some people didn't.
Of course, making it optional would have been ideal but I didn't have the time. It's definitely a feature that needs a lot of reworking
And hell no, the music is not by me. I can program and do a little bit of art - even though very slowly, but I'm as far removed from being a talented musician as can be. The songs are by the patron saint of all people on the internet who need royalty-free music: Kevin McLeod https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html His website is a treasure trove of soundtracks of all kinds. Super useful for game jams and stuff. Would highly recommend to bookmark it : D
The tilting from the middle would made maybe sense ;-)
Thank you for the link to the free music assets. Is now in my litle bookmark list.
Btw. you need to look for the "free" kind of license !
There are some with "By Attribution 4.0", so when you use the music, you need to notice somewhere who made it or a link or so...
The older CC 2.0 license is more strict. Some laywer made a living by suing everyone who did the notice incorrect... it is a so bad world 😉
