Reminds me of old-school indie computer games. Jump feels great. Solid level progression and tutorializing. Love the level transition. \n\nLess good: Would be nice to see the controls in a single page, not sure why they show up one at a time. Same deal with the credits. Dust and explosions are neat, but take forever to animate and disappear. Are they not time-bound? Jump and shoot sounds a bit too loud, especially with multiple shots.\n\nNot sure: Forward speed increases while jumping. Is this intentional for bunny hop speedrunning?\n\nOverall a neat little platforming experience with a fun computer style. Good work!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":716890,"author_name":"Fiote","author_uid":"fiote","epoch":1633381179,"text":"Nice little game. Really good level transition.

The polish is beautiful, real nice work on the pixel art and animations. I heavily question your control scheme choice. I use a 60% keyboard so holding the function key, using WASD, and pressing z to jump felt like playing twister. Really the only feedback I can give is to speed up the level transition; when you have levels where pressing restart is essential, it gets annoying to wait 4-5 seconds every time. As well, something like coyote time on the jumps would make the game far more forgiving. If the game is ever expanded on I would hope to see more use of the fast forward\/slow motion. I only got each once and neither really had an effect on my gameplay. Overall, super impressive polish and very solid gameplay.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":719507,"author_name":"Myles Doupe","author_uid":"myles-doupe","epoch":1633392068,"text":"This is a fantastic jam game.
