A job well done indeed :D
On a side note, if you want to make this game even better, you can try adding more commands like, "flip", "attack", "pick up".. you can even make the game extra interesting by having different text inputs for different types of attacks and only one type will work against a certain enemy
The graphics are very cute and while you didn't make the audio, they fitted together very well. Very strong level of polish with plenty of levels to sink time into, great job! :grin:
Really cool game, the first thumbs up though is for supporting my 32 bit Windows XP VM. Very nice!
I love your cute graphics and the matching music, really nice atmosphere, what an adorable main character :-)
One thing I did not realize in my first play through was that you need to buy the DIG command in order to get the coins that are half-way in the ground. I actually did not notice that they were any different from the floating ones, I just assumed they were picked up but after a while I saw that they were still there and only then knew what buying that DIG command would let me do.
I can go BACK and the float in the air, also I can go UP on a yellow trampoline and then RUN and WALK in the air. Is this all correct? :-)
Is it right that I cannot get everything in every level? I sometimes see coins that I cannot reach. Also in level 2 where I cannot have the DIG there is a buried coin? Is this to tease the player or am I missing something.
I like how the cosmetic gold suit is just for running through the beautiful but empty final level :-D
These were my impressions playing your game two times in a row, very cool game. Typing gets repetitive but is OK, the commands are short and easy to type so it does not get frustrating (in contrast to that one game where you had to type 'kcfp' to do a kickflip on a skateboard). Really well executed. Keep up the great work!
Love how the game give some choices in latter levels, I think this is what you need to explore more, give more choices for the player to explore more and maybe some more elements, maybe minigames, keys itens and stuff.
Great work!
I would like some type of challenge, maybe you lose health if you type wrong or a limited amount of time to finish the level or just a score.
Typing becomes a bit tiring after a while, I think that something like "run 3x" to run 3 times or make the character run until it cannot run anymore would help. That being said, great game! =)
The commands were nice and easy to remember, also fast to type. Pacing was great and upgrades were fun.
Loved the way the player was tutorialized in-game, it turned out really effective for me.
Cheers and keep up the good work! <3
