The biggest culprit is the camera. Since the character moves so quickly the camera does too and it can cause some bad visual effects. Its hard to play the game for a long time for me, perhaps add a lerp to the camera or slow the whole game down a bit.

Mec\u00e2nicas, Aprendizado e Fluxo:\nO jogo de plataforma ficou muito divertido e desafiador (mesmo dando raiva em alguns momentos, faz parte da divers\u00e3o, no meu caso).\nEu joguei utilizando o teclado (alternando entre ASDW e \u2191\u2193\u2192\u2190), gostaria de ter experimentado jogar com joystick.\nAs mec\u00e2nicas v\u00e3o sendo apresentadas conforme o jogador vai aprendendo a lidar com elas (ent\u00e3o creio que seja um flow bem aplicado em termos de jogabilidade).\nSeria interessante dar uma polida em algumas quest\u00f5es (segurar o pulo fazer pular novamente: n\u00e3o sei se foi projetado ou acidental).\nComo o som n\u00e3o foi produzido por voc\u00eas durante o evento, basta dizer que foi algo suave e engra\u00e7ado (principalmente os gritos do personagem do jogador (doravante PdJ)).\n\n2 - Gr\u00e1ficos, \u00c1udio e Narrativa:\nOs gr\u00e1ficos ficaram muito bons (especialmente para o tempo de game jam).\nA narrativa n\u00e3o parece ter sido tanto o foco (no caso um universo fantasioso cheio de problemas diversos, ao n\u00edvel fant\u00e1stico).\nGostaria de ter uma introdu\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e0 narrativa e cutscenes (talvez adicionar antagonistas e coadjuvantes teria sido algo muito favor\u00e1vel ao t\u00f3pico).\n\n3 - Cultura:\nO jogo bebe bem da fonte de outros jogos de plataforma similares (em cen\u00e1rio e mec\u00e2nicas), tendo (por outro lado) gra\u00e7a pr\u00f3pria.\n\n4 - Monetiza\u00e7\u00e3o:\nCreio que com o devido revestimento narrativo seria poss\u00edvel distribuir em dezenas de est\u00e1gios, tornando o jogo mais robusto.\nO polimento art\u00edstico poderia ser aplicado (especialmente para dar melhor uniformiza\u00e7\u00e3o visual (h\u00e1 alguns elementos que distoam um pouco)).\nOutro incremento art\u00edstico seria ter sons originais\/autorais que revistam o projeto adequadamente (aumentando a imers\u00e3o e a caracter\u00edstica de jogo \u00fanico).\nAssim o jogo poderia vender em stores como o Steam.\n\n\n**[EN] Analysis...**\n\n1 - Mechanics, Learning and Flow:\nThe platform game was very fun and challenging (even if it makes me angry at times, it is part of the fun, in my case).\nI played using the keyboard (alternating between ASDW and \u2191 \u2193 \u2192 \u2190), I wish I had tried playing with the joystick.\nThe mechanics are being introduced as the player learns to deal with them (so I think it is a well applied flow in terms of gameplay).\nIt would be interesting to give some polish to some questions (hold the jump and make it jump again: I don't know if it was designed or accidental).\nAs the sound was not produced by you during the event, suffice it to say that it was something soft and funny (especially the screams of the player's character (hereafter PC)).\n\n2 - Graphics, Audio and Narrative:\nThe graphics were very good (especially for the game jam time).\nThe narrative does not seem to have been so much the focus (in this case a fantasy universe full of different problems, at the fantastic level).\nI would like to have an introduction to narrative and cutscenes (perhaps adding antagonists and assistants would have been very favorable to the topic).\n\n3 - Culture:\nThe game drinks well from the source of other similar platform games (on stage and mechanics), having (on the other hand) grace of its own.\n\n4 - Monetization:\nI believe that with the proper narrative coating it would be possible to distribute it in dozens of stages, making the game more robust.\nArtistic polishing could be applied (especially to give better visual uniformity (there are some elements that slightly distract)).\nAnother artistic increment would be to have original \/ copyrighted sounds that search the project properly (increasing the immersion and the unique game characteristic).\nSo the game could sell in stores like Steam.","likes":2,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld47\/221223-79831415d3addd043c2d78ab43e84780.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/chispalbc.itch.io\/the-magic-steak","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/chispalbc.itch.io\/the-magic-steak","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"59308","g_author":"1015874","g_event":"LD47","g_eventkey":"76","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"270406","g_title":"The Magic Steak","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"708","g_commentcount":"23","g_site2_node_id":"221223","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"221223","n_urlkey":"270406","n_parent":"212256","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/the-magic-steak","n_slug":"the-magic-steak","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"15874","n_created":"1601666766","n_modified":"1601940924","n_version":"690264","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":221223,"parent":212256,"superparent":9,"author":15874,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2020-10-05T20:22:46Z","created":"2020-10-02T19:26:06Z","modified":"2020-10-05T23:35:24Z","version":690264,"slug":"the-magic-steak","name":"The Magic Steak","body":"## Lore\n\nYou are a hungry ferret.\nFortunately there is a magic steak made from the flesh of the ancient gods that looks very jummy.
