It took a while to realise that 'hits' are a good thing (I think?) and it felt awkward that I was kicking successfully at all points in the kick animation, rather than having to time it so the foot or knee should collide with the sweets. I enjoyed the music, but it could loop more smoothly, and music for the celebration screen would make the breakdancing feel even more awesome. I made my own game for the first time this jam, so I appreciate how difficult it is to get everything perfect, so well done on making a fun little platformer.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"CodeForJoyCaro","author_uid":"1166191","time":"2020-10-06T16:16:53Z","epoch":1602001013,"modified":1602001013,"text":"@samuel-hollywood-summers Thanks for the feedback.

The slight shine on the background giving it a sort of metal feel. Very cool !\n\nAs for the gameplay I found the movement controls on point, nicely balanced.\n\nHowever the kicks animations are very very sluggish and I feel they deserve to be a bit more punchy. I do not know how the \"attacking\" is triggered in code but I found myself kicking and having to wait for the animation to happen, mostly not hitting anything (I'm guessing the hitbox might be a little small), and being surprised to hit candy midair even after the animation finished.\n\nThis is really my only trouble with the mechanics but since the main goal is to fight the candy I really thing a few tweaks can make this much more fun !\n\nI did manage to finish and that was indeed very fun !\n\nKeep up the good work !\n\nFeel free to check my entry and give me your opinion !\n\nCheers\n\nDamien","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Abregado","author_uid":"1003105","time":"2020-10-08T16:38:45Z","epoch":1602175125,"modified":1602175125,"text":"VICTORY DANCE!
