However, the controls are very clunky, making the precises jumps really hard to do. Also, when in stair type scenarios i got often stuck in a step while trying to jump higher. This is, however, the only aspect that i find that really affects the game as a whole. In every other aspect, is a nice experience.

Level design wise the last room was not so bad when, after a few attemps, I realised that all the blocks (that I was affraid of previously because I couldn't get a grip on how to navigate properly in your game) could help me navigate more or less easierly when I could manage my jumps and such.\n\nI'd really try to improve, first, the movements of the player: walking feels inconsistent because of the glassy effect (try to make the player stops more or less when he stops pushing the button or else he will get frustrated for nothing), jumping feels inconsistent as well because we don't get exactly when it's higher or not.\n\nAlso, collision are not perfect (sometimes you can't jump because you're too close to a block). But that's forgetable.\n\nHaving difficulty in a game is far from a bad thing, when it's thanks to the level design, but having difficulty in a game because its gameplay is clunchy, is not so pleasant (imo). \n\nI felt a I Wanna Be The Guy vibe unfortunately when I would have wanted a Tower of Heaven or Celeste vibe in this plateformer.\n\nThe art was nice (although the character seemed not scaled at all with the environment, even at the end), the TV effect very cool (keep that, play Katana Zero to enhance and pursue this idea), the music was nice although repetitive. \n\nAnd overall the vibe is cool too. Well done :)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"elysiagriffin","author_uid":"1047013","time":"2019-10-30T00:32:30Z","epoch":1572395550,"modified":1572395550,"text":"Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!\n\nIf you\u2019d like to rewatch the playthrough, you can find it here: https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/videos\/494940957?t=4h59m56s\n\nHope you got some valuable feedback on your game and looking forward to seeing you next LD jam if I dont catch you before then! :D\n\n\ud83d\udc9c Elysia Griffin AKA Button Feedback Lady\n\nhttps:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/elysiagriffin","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld45\/166883-9d139b47d4730c944322de689f70c0da.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/beshrkayali\/zerohero\/","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/beshrkayali\/zerohero\/raw\/master\/ZeroHero.love","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"http:\/\/beshr.com\/ld\/LD45-ZeroHero.zip","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"60171","g_author":"1074260","g_event":"LD45","g_eventkey":"78","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"272124","g_title":"Zero\/Hero","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"390","g_commentcount":"20","g_site2_node_id":"166883","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"166883","n_urlkey":"272124","n_parent":"159347","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/45\/zerohero","n_slug":"zerohero","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"74260","n_created":"1570206500","n_modified":"1570380075","n_version":"499559","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":166883,"parent":159347,"superparent":9,"author":74260,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2019-10-06T16:37:47Z","created":"2019-10-04T16:28:20Z","modified":"2019-10-06T16:41:15Z","version":499559,"slug":"zerohero","name":"Zero\/Hero","body":"### \"You are nothing, your goal is to become something\"\n\nThis was the original idea at least :shrug:\n\nBuilt with L\u00d6VE\n\nControls: arrow keys\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/Z3fF0bjb4cE\n","meta":{"author":[74260],"cover":"\/\/\/content\/412\/21\/z\/25f15.png","link-01":"https:\/\/github.com\/beshrkayali\/zerohero\/","link-01-tag":[50],"link-02":"https:\/\/github.com\/beshrkayali\/zerohero\/raw\/master\/ZeroHero.love","link-02-tag":[42512],"link-02-name":"Love2d","link-03":"http:\/\/beshr.com\/ld\/LD45-ZeroHero.zip","link-03-tag":[42337]},"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/45\/zerohero","parents":[1,5,9,159347],"love":0,"notes":20,"notes-timestamp":"2019-10-30T00:32:30Z","grade":{"grade-01":27,"grade-02":27,"grade-03":26,"grade-04":27,"grade-05":27,"grade-06":27,"grade-07":24,"grade-08":26},"magic":{"cool":74.938398346896,"feedback":20,"given":14.25,"grade":26.375,"grade-01-average":3.1,"grade-01-result":390,"grade-02-average":2.6,"grade-02-result":449,"grade-03-average":2.729,"grade-03-result":405,"grade-04-average":3.46,"grade-04-result":227,"grade-05-average":3.64,"grade-05-result":135,"grade-06-average":3.6,"grade-06-result":84,"grade-07-average":2.977,"grade-07-result":146,"grade-08-average":3.125,"grade-08-result":258,"smart":-5.8806742024547}},"text":"### \"You are nothing, your goal is to become something\"\n\nThis was the original idea at least :shrug:\n\nBuilt with L\u00d6VE\n\nControls: arrow keys\n\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/Z3fF0bjb4cE\n","title":"Zero\/Hero"}
