Open platformer: About the lil ball coming from the sky and on his way to a festival! I plan for it to not be exactly linear where you just run to the right and had it to where you pretty much explore the environment you’re in!

Feedback: How is the level design? As that’s what I want to focus on the most to provide the best experience!

Camera is a big nauseating. Maybe make the camera move ONLY if you got out side of a certain Y space - and do it a tad slower. Each jump right now the camera is just bouncing around.
Change jump height based on how long button is held. I tap the button you only jump a little, I hold and I get FULL jump. That way I can make the tiny jumps easier.
Change the hit boxes on your landing places so things feel a tad more forgiveable. Here's me standing on an edge becuase of how the hitboxes are set up.

becuase of these hitboxes some of the jumps feel bad and impossible. For example jumping from underneath to something above.

Level Design
- I was a tad confused. I assumed it was just a "GO RIGHT" game like Sonic the Hedgehog. End goal is to just go right. Which I did and I ended up on level 3? ({Jungle level?))
- Sadly I can't say much on this - I'm struggling with level design too.

Nice game so far, i got stuck on third level. You can do some indicators of where are you suposed to go etc.

Working on it thx!

Really good man that's a lot of hard work and I would like to give you a great suggestion for camera follow. It is cinemachine. Cinemachine is really awesome just try that out. But cinemachine will only work with unity

Really fun platformer. You could use a bit of indicators as where to go specially on the end of the levels. It's a really good prototype!
