You pulled a lot of nice detail out of such small sprites, and I think the color choices were excellent. I don't know where you were at last LD to compare, but where you are at now is pretty damn good. \r\rThat music track was bumping, too. I kinda want it in my playlist. \r\rCritique wise I'd like to see the jumping touched up. In particular the two bottom spots were really hard to hit when jumping from the middle section. Either raise the platforms or flatten the jump arc? \r\rRegardless I t think there's a lot of potential here and this is one of my favorite little games so far."},{"author_name":"NidzaKornjaca","author_uid":"56576","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:57am","epoch":1450147920,"text":"A lot of potential, excellent graphics and decent audio work.

Why monsters have healthbars, if they are dying from one hit? :)\rAlso why there are no highscore button and what is the money\/kills give you?\rIn summary, I really liked it, but I don't really understand what was happening during the game.\rAlso the idea is pretty good :)"},{"author_name":"pkenney","author_uid":"30865","time":"Dec 20, 2015 @ 6:43pm","epoch":1450636680,"text":"The sprite art for this game is awesome! I think that it makes a small mistake by having the main character not visually pop more though. The character often disappears from one place and appears someplace else on the screen so in the first few minutes of play it was super-easy to lose track. I think more contrast making the main character visually unique would have been a big help.\r\rBut the art really looked awesome!\r\rGameplay wise I had fun but I did feel like the level didn't set me up to have a ton of options about jumps. Is it even possible to make the jump at the very bottom? I always hit my head and fell in when I tried, every time. The game was also pretty tough about being over the edge... none of that forgiveness about being a bit over the edge that many platformers include these days.\r\rBecause I couldn't make all the jumps I felt like I had a bit less agency. The game looked and sounded great, and felt pretty good. But in the end my most successful strategy devolved into very rarely using the jump key, and just constantly mashing the shoot button... which meant I was rarely making decisions. But that strategy was safer because I learned the loops my character would repeat, so I knew where to expect her, and the shooting would clean up most enemies if I just nonstop mashed it. Then I only jumped to avoid the occasional incoming collision, or sometimes to just mix up the action or go for a pickup.\r\rSo I think this is a clever idea about how to use the two buttons, that looks and sounds fantastic, but ended up not really capitalizing on the potential of the good ideas and dev skills.\r\rStill, a solid around-entry, just a shame to see the potential not quite click for me as a player."},{"author_name":"Galvesmash","author_uid":"20148","time":"Dec 21, 2015 @ 10:47pm","epoch":1450737720,"text":"Excellent game but it needs some effects and adjustments. The gameplay feels a bit odd because I don't have much control over the player, maybe he is too fast and jump too high with low distance.\rBut overall great job!

Controls-wise, jumping over gaps was near impossible when the jump would hit the ceiling (basically, on the bottom). It wasn't too punishing as you'd reappear on the top of the screen instead of dying as in other games (this was a clever detail), but it didn't feel right. I'll be waiting for the post-compo version to see what you can do there, everything else is really solid.
