The art is great, simple but clean. The character controls well and it was fun to play. The music was catchy too, great work!
I felt a bit confused about which death would take me to which location, maybe it would help to show how they link together.
Nevertheless, well done!
@merpui @kaeveris @verso @wahooney A link between each trap and spawn. It will take me some thinking, but the best way I see thus far is to color code the traps with the spawn points. Like blue traps send you to the blue spawn, etc. Of course, this doesn't address the issue of having some traps revealing and hiding other parts of the level. This one will still be a "trial and error" mechanic as I still haven't figured out how to give the player a hint that trap A will reveal trap B without revealing trap B beforehand... if that makes sense lol
@aditon @lychee @vivien-fargette A tutorial will be the next step for this game. I'm already working on it :)
Thank you all for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the game
Cheers
I think a simple way to improve this would be to include a death counter just to keep score. Maybe the levels can score like Golf where you only want to die a certain amount of times!
Overall cool idea and good job, just needs a few more interesting levels!
BTW It's possible to jump over this wall and break the game :wink:


@wormholegames Oof! This isn't supposed to happen. I'll look into it when I get the chance
Thank you all for the feedback. I'll try my best to address all issues that were pointed out in the comments
If you can provide further information as to how this issue occurred, I will be grateful
I'll be on the lookout for that bug you mentioned but I'm afraid I can't seem to figure out what causes this on your system. I'm sorry...
