I would really have wanted to get to play the levels you had created too, because I did really like the style\/tone of your game but I could not figure out how to jump over the first hurdle. Jumps only went up wards and they didn't use any of the forward momentum set. So I'd strongly suggest you think about re-balancing how hard\/easy it is to perform forward jumps.

There's a couple of things I want to suggest to improve!\n\nAt the moment, the layout of your controls on the keyboard is a little messy. Buttons seem to be haphazardly thrown around the left side of the keyboard. A better idea for button layout could be to have colums deligated to each set of controls, eg (with a qwerty keyboard):\n\n1 - toggle move   | q - toggle direction\n\n2 - jump          | w - angle jump \n\n3 - toggle drill  | e - toggle drill state\n\netc...\n\nor (possibly better) you could allow the player to choose their own keyboard layout. Have a look into getbutton() etc in unity and the related inputs menu. Another thing is that jumping at an angle is rather difficult because you have to guess a lot how much power to use and how far back to stand, an indicator showing the predicted jump arc might be useful to show when jump is held as then the power can be adjusted!\n\nAlso, one more slight thing, not sure if level 2 was supposed to end with the turret pit, I managed to jump out of it but then died from the drop right after. I guess some kind of indication that it was the end would have been good (unless it wasn't, in which case I have no idea what to do from there).\n\nAside from that, awesome game! The metroid style suit pickups were a cool addition!","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Mikeliosus","author_uid":"1032809","time":"2017-08-05T21:09:23Z","epoch":1501967363,"modified":1501967363,"text":"@mickeyg Thanks for detailed feedback! Very helpful and informative!\n\nAbout level 2 - to pass the turret pit you need to not fall into it at all.

Jumping especially takes a lot of time to get used to which makes it challenging. The graphics and audio are good too.\n\nNow, I could not finished the second level mostly due to unfair level design. Dying to a turret or running out of power never felt like I had made a mistake.\n\nTurrets quite often cannot be seen before it is too late, so you have to memorize their positions which is lame. Running out of power is also more of a memorization problem. Play the level multiple times and eventually you know which is the most optimal path to the exit. I'm not a big fan of this type of *trial and error* design. I want to be able to make good enough decisions the first time playing, not the tenth time.\n\nBeing able to see further would alleviate some of this memorization. Checkpoints with an energy charging station would work too.

It took way too long to figure out how to manage the drills power considering I couldn't see the slider. The obvious fix would be to force the player to complete the dialog, and put it in a place where it could be seen at odd resolutions.\n\nI didn't understand why there is a perfectly vertical jump. I didn't find any use for it, so why would that be my default jump angle? Furthermore, I didn't like that I slid along the ground after landing.
