Cool game with amazing art and music ! I saw that you already got quite a lot of comments talking about how to improve the controls, I would like to suggest my spin on it :
- When holding an arrow key, the player begins in walk animation for a few frames, then automatically switch to run animation (no input needed)
- The Walking speed could gradually increase until it match the Running speed (but keep the acceleration quite fast, I don't want to wait too long before reaching my max speed)
- When jumping, always use the horizontal running speed (otherwise I have almost no control on where I land)
Not mandatory :
- I would love to be able to jump with the Up arrow key, and interact with Space. I think it would be more intuitive and like that I don't have to move my fingers to interact with the environment.
Pretty cool game overall, well done !
