I really liked the art, the animations for the enemy were quite nice. The background also sets a really good atmosphere for the game.
I agree with the others that the jump is a little jarring - I think that is partially due to the camera following the players exact movements. If you relax the camera on the y axis a bit I think it would help the feel a lot more.
In terms of level design, I think either the player jump could be tuned to be higher or the platforms could be placed lower. Right now, the player can barely reach the platforms and it takes me multiple tries to get on one, giving the player a bit more breathing room here would help a lot in my opinion.
Overall, I thought it was quite well put together, the music was really nice too. Great work!
Thanks for All the input guys - I agree I struggled with the jump and the camera. If I could go back I would focus on that. Platformers are new to me. But Thanks for the input on the art, I really enjoyed that for this game. I would loved to have parallaxed the background but no joy. Thanks for playing though.
Thanks @binroot. We've all been playing platformers for years so I took a lesson from Mario. Enemy straight away, either it kills you or you learn to jump. :stuck_out_tongue:
Good work! I felt like it was a bit janky when the camera follows the player like that when you jump, but that can only be me. I like the ghoul design and over all it was very nice, keep on goin!
I'd have liked to have a tutorial or something that taught me how to do stuff. Also, it was a bit annoying that the camera followed you when jumping. An advice: never attach the camera as a children of the player :P
There's a little thing that bothered me : the lack of death animation and instant restart of the music loop makes for a somewhat confusing death, and also controls and camera but others have talked about that. Outside of these, good little game ^^.
A pretty fun game overall. I was a big fan of the art and the music. The platforming was a little unpolished, but the basic formula is always fun. I am gonna agree with @masaru that the game over sequence is very sudden, but I can understand those problems given the time limit. Pretty good game overall, and I am very happy to push you over 20 ratings!
But Otherwise good game
