One of the really important things in platformers tho are sharp controls. Unfortunately the magma continues to move for quite a while after you let go of A or D. So that is where I would see improvement. Additionally, the game has very low contrast. I had to adjust my screen brightness to even see the platforms. So yeah, consider increasing the contrast between the background and platforms."},{"author_name":"Dew","author_uid":"11118","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 6:37pm","epoch":1418063520,"text":"It took me a while to realize the contrast of the game i thought i had to guess the path to follow haha after that i could play decently :P Great game!"},{"author_name":"Indiestry","author_uid":"41883","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 6:41pm","epoch":1418063760,"text":"It seems to be really intresting, but the controls made it very hard to even get passed the first enemy"},{"author_name":"deepinthewoods","author_uid":"5236","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 6:46pm","epoch":1418064060,"text":"Hard to see the platforms"},{"author_name":"whitematterteam","author_uid":"47146","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 6:47pm","epoch":1418064120,"text":"We tried to reproduce a dark cave, ideed the only light source is the magma thing. But yeah, maybe it's a little too dark. We'll fix it!\r<br\/>And for the controls, we used the rigidbody in unity so the &quot;thing&quot; is affected by the gravity. Maybe we should have added a bit of friction. We'll fix that too!\r<br\/>About the audio, we used the free jam assets so we thought that it's better to be judged on something that we produced with our hands.\r<br\/>Thanks for the comment anyway! :D"},{"author_name":"01101101","author_uid":"5105","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 6:47pm","epoch":1418064120,"text":"I agree with what Liam wrote: the controls need to be improved.

Also, the first enemy is really hard to get past. You might consider writing some kind of script to produce a white light on the top of surfaces near the player (like the light coming off the magma dude to light up nearby surfaces. It would make it easier to see the edges when you are platforming, but would maintain the dark cave look. You could probably achieve this using ray-casting, to put light pixels on al nearby surfaces, with each light pixel being brighter if its close to the player and more invisible if it's far from the player. sound is awesome. I'm surprised you opted out."},{"author_name":"tMalicet","author_uid":"45577","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 9:14pm","epoch":1418072940,"text":"Tough game-play with very low contrast.
