Behind the Mask by Raphi
Hi everyone, I made this game with my bro Pymiro, we took the theme "growing". It is a platformer called Behind The Mask. It is quite hard, so try hard to reach the end!
Controls: Space bar = jump
shift = slide
arrows = move
You can also walljump!
Beware of Nature, it seems alive...
Enjoy :)

I couldn't figure out how to slide. Not sure what "Slide with maj" means.
Some great pixel art, and solid music choices; they really set the tone. I liked the character design too; that's a pretty neat hat, and I loved the claw they used to grip into wood and crumbling stone.
The platforming was indeed quite hard, but I managed to beat it; if you had more time, some easier levels to get the player familiar with the controls would be good. I liked the growing platforms, and how all the different blocks interacted; very good design there, and some well-crafted puzzles! I may have cheated, since I avoided the first green trigger in order to finish the last level; I couldn't jump up the thorny wall before the floor caught up with me.
For criticism, the controls seemed to not respond some times, especially Jump; many times, I'd hit Jump, but just walk off the edge of a platform, which was frustrating in such a precise game like this.
Thanks very much for putting this together; it was a lot of fun, and a well made platformer!
Nice background on title screen!
Keep working on it, good job!
Another issue I had was the soundtrack : it sounds good, but it's clipping every three seconds which makes it hard to enjoy. Maybe reducing the master volume would be enough to prevent that.
Love the pace of the game, you had to have the timing perfect.
Gave up on Level 2, as I just could not get the timing right.
Had a similar issue where Jump would not respond sometimes when pressing direction key.
Had to remap and use A and D for Left and right (Personal Preference) using AutoHotKey.
MAJ = Shift for slide, you should edit the description.
Music fit in with the style of the game.
