Hey, this is a fun time! I like the clean aesthetic of the game and the simple nuance of the gameplay: it really clicked for me when I realized I would have to collect the little red chevrons, rather than sitting far away and sniping.
A couple thoughts
- I love the clean lines of the background, the enemies, and the menus - the black outlines of the player character sort of stand apart from those.
- I'm not sure if I just didn't survive long enough, but I never felt like I had a good window of time to go collect the enemy chevons - I was just in survival mode the whole time, and if they happened to drop where I could get them, all the better.
- I was surprised that falling off the edge was an instant fail. This is me bringing my own expectations to the game, so take them with a grain of salt, but I expected either a Smash Bros style lives system (since falling seems to be a pretty likely outcome while jumping around this stage) or even a loop around where you fall off the bottom and appear on the top, even if that doesn't logically make sense.
And a couple bugs you may or may not be aware of:
- You can use the arrow keys to navigate the menu, but I didn't know that and was already using the mouse to activate the game, and the mouse cursor also lets you navigate the menu - except, the mouse cursor is hidden for the game! This led to me trying to navigate the menus using an invisible cursor until I got into the game and realized the arrow keys would be utilized.
- Hitting "Quit" in the game when it's embedded in an itch page results in a funky state. I'm using Chrome on Windows 10, in case that matters.
Thanks for making this!
