Hey!
Not bad at all, especially for a first time!
It may be convenient to give the link to the tool to play your game :p
>> https://love2d.org/

Would have liked to see it finished :)

Looks nice! Would be nice to be able to restart without restarting the app. If looking for something to improve, t's a bit hard on the jumping, couldn't hit anything and the game froze on me once.

Oh yeah, I'll definitely put that link in the description, didn't know what would happen when someone tries to download this. And yes, when I finish, I will reset it when it's Game Over.

I like the art, though the background was a little too distracting.

Like the retro style :D , i would be better have "love2d" already in the windows version

Congratulations on having something for your first. This compo is my third attempt, but only my first time completing something. Looking forward to seeing it complete. The only feedback I'd provide has to do with movement. The invisible wall would sometimes mess up my jumps, as I had no visual indicator of where it was, and I'd just recently jumped to get an emerald. Maybe some kind of signal?

Not bad for your first entry!

Great first entry! Glad to see you stuck with it and finished it :)

I ended up playing it with Love because the .exe is apparently 64 bit / not compatible with my computer (maybe you should upload a 32 bit .exe?)

Anyway this was pretty nice, but I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't point out it's flaws for you to succeed! I didn't really like that jump was space and shoot was z. It's too uncomfortable to use my thumb on space, due to being close to z, so i had to use my index and ring finger on those keys. The release-to-shoot, and the smooth aiming made it kind of difficult/confusing to control, and because I wanted to give it a few goes to get the hang of it, it was pretty annoying that it auto-quit on me when I died.

Otherwise I think the concept you had was good and it would have been a pretty decent game if executed correctly. This is pretty decent as it is though, as a first entry. You did well. I hope to see what you pull off next time!

I could not rate it at home because it does not run on my windows XP. So I'll try to review it later.

Tried it on windows 7 64 and it just crashes when I try to either read the instructions or launch a new game

Good job actually, but for rating purposes I had to do the compo version. I don't know about finishing it, but I do wish you had created an exit button on the main menu and had the game go back to the main menu when you die.

Lovely game; process-quit on game-over is kinda annoying.

A good first entry! I hope you still finish it :)

Great first entry!
