Really awesome entry! Very Great art, I love the palette! The platformer controller felt pretty good bar a few nitpicks, the levels were challenging and cool. Just a very solid entry all around.
Some minor things tho
- I think this was mentioned but yeah, jumping into a saw to immediately die since your holding in the direction of the saw was a bit annoying. Either stop the characters movement until they re-input the A/D key, or add i-frames after you blow up would be nice.
- Wasn't a huge fan of the music, maybe a longer loop or some more variance would be great, huge preference thing tho
- getting extra height of jump pads felt very clunky, I think I only got the height if I was holding Jump when I hit the pad, which led to weird maneuvers were I would jump on the the jump pad from above, or just hit the jump pad 3 times before doing the high jump. I think it would be nice if jump height was consistent on those pads.
But other than those few minor things, great work! Its hard to find much to criticize here, since the work is just very solid!
