Zero Reset

Neat game! I included it in my GM48: Countdown compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/kXdTBNclSjs

• Background colors are too bright, making it more difficult to distinguish foreground to background
• Too much acceleration! Should be a bit more subtle. Like, reaching full speed shouldn't take so much time; this way you can adjust the maximum speed. As a result, the player slides easily and is harder to control. In a game relying on timing, it's best to optimize the movements
• I wish the music was created during the 48 hours time frame. It was good but I'm not keen on using art (visual/music) from the marketplace, even if it's apparently not against the rules :/
• Barely used the crouch-sliding. Was it useful for something?
• The ragdoll time feels a bit too restrictive, when getting hit, you are incapacitated "à la Castlevania", meaning it leads to your death where pits are close. Something we find more in your game, also in pace.

During the boss:

• Cutscene needs to be skippable, it was annoying to see the text over and over again.
• Speaking of which, find a way to differentiate dialogue cause the first line of dialogue is you while the rest is the dragon, but nothing indicates you which is which except the context (but it's not the best way to understand who's talking)
• Jumping on the side while the hand touches you makes you bug to hell and you disappear, then reapear from the top of the screen. Really annoying.
• Don't know if it's the intended procedure, but the easiest way I found to deal with him is jump on the side of the wall to wall jump on his head. Most reliable way cause he sometimes doesn't even use his hands.
• Because of the high pool of life of the dragon, you're forced to find the most easiest way to beat him, which is the manoeuvre I mentioned above. It doesn't seem to be the intended way, but his hands not being very convenient and his high pool of life leaves you no choice.

Not much characters left for the good part sadly. You don't seem to be in the discord channel? So in short, nice feels, lots of content, I like the story, etc

Ima fan! I love the art, music, and controls AND I'm super thankful for the controller support. My only complaint (well there is two) is....

1. The sliding did not always work. I would go to slide to hit the bad guy and my dude would jump. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I played this game for a while and it continued to happen
2. The wall jump did not always work. Again this could be user error but it felt like I was doing the same thing every time and sometimes it would jump off the wall perfectly and other times my guy would flip/fall to his death.

All in all I really enjoyed this game! Fantastic job~

Things I didn't like: -The walljumping was really tricky,because sometimes I would double jump instead of walljumping. -The cutscene before the boss shows up EVERY SINGLE TIME when you fail. Things I liked: -Really fun gameplay! -Unique sprites and music! -Overall completeness of the game! This is definately one of my favorite game!

Nice game, really fun to play , all that mechanics... and the boss fight in the end... wow! Give me more levels and boss and i will play them for sure :D

The things that I did't like are:

• The boss cutscene become annoyng after some retry.
• The air and ground friction can be improved a little.
• Resetting the music each time you die make them repetitive because you heard only the first 10 sec or less (expecially in levels with a lot of hazards).

Really nice job!!

Fun game! I agree that the precision platforming was a little difficult with the player's slow acceleration and deceleration. I liked your graphics, and your usage of theme was solid.

Great work!

Yeah the cutscene before the boss need to be skippable and the momentum can be a little weird, but overall the game is very well done. I really like the fact that you can't die by getting hit and it's just a stun.

Oh and one other thing, I don't think you're allowed to get music made out of the jam (even if it's free)

very cool game. main problems would be that the player's acceleration is way too low for precise platforming. found myself overshooting platforms a lot because I couldn't stop in time. maybe that's my fault though. in a game where levels last ten seconds, having the level title on screen for so long is kind of unnecessary and annoying. the boss is cool, but I really don't like having to watch this cutscene again every time I die. but the fight itself is a very nice point to end the game on.
