What I mean is, usually there's a bit of a curve, you get slower while you jump up and pick up speed when falling down. That would make it a lot easier to work with, as you'd have a clear indication at which point in the jump he is, and when you see, ok he's getting slower already, you can tell whether he'll make it to where you wanna go."},{"author_name":"Nnnnneeeedddd","author_uid":"28575","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 9:15am","epoch":1387185000,"text":"ill keep that in mind for my next game thanks :)"},{"author_name":"crockid5","author_uid":"12651","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 9:20am","epoch":1387185300,"text":"That's impossible the jumping feels way to elastic, I die even if I land on top of the arrow? you should check for that :P"},{"author_name":"ThatGuy","author_uid":"17563","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 9:22am","epoch":1387185420,"text":"What a rough way to start a level, an arrow to the face.

I tried it a few times but knowing that there are more levels afterwards (probably equally difficult) and if you die you start all over? No thanks, not for pixel perfect jumps.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>So the one, main redeeming factor of this game for me is dying. &quot;Wha?&quot; you may say? It wasn't the fact that I had to start over that I enjoyed. It was the satisfying thump the arrow made and brief pause as the game sort of visually acknowledged to me &quot;yes, you died, and you've got to do it over now&quot;. That was great, satisfying in a game where I would expect to be instantly reset to the beginning.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Now this brief pause as you die does acknowledge one issue where I believe some frustrations stem from. Maybe 1\/4 the time I noticed the arrow didn't really hit where I would imagine the hitbox to be. It would sometimes collide about 5-10 pixels away from the character image. This is not good at all when you're doing pixel perfect jumps\/actions.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I would recommend setting the hitbox to be slightly smaller than the character. That way when an arrow hits you don't feel cheated.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also the difficulty, I can understand yes, you want it to be difficult. But there's a difference in being hard, and being just downright brutal and unfair. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Your game I feel fits into the later category. Just simply because the very first level tasks us to insanely jump on short platform towards insta-death arrows shooting in a fairly fast loop."},{"author_name":"Fenmar","author_uid":"3866","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 5:46pm","epoch":1387388460,"text":"Good game, though very challenging.
