Regarding different points :
- Graphics, the different models are really nice
- Bow mechanic, simple and quite satisfying to attack with it
- Displacement , jump feels a bit tricky, and sometimes quite frustrating
- Goal, as I understand it you have to do something with the gems but hints on what you're actually supposed to do might increase the overall experience.
Thanks for the game !
I liked the pixel art at the story moments. For the levels try to keep a consistent resolution rather than mixing high res with low res textures on the same screen.
The main things that I would suggest improving is the movement mechanics: Having no acceleration and more direct velocity control would make the character more responsive. Box colliders are more reliable for players compared to circular colliders in a 2D side-on game. This should also prevent being able to do super jumps on the sides of some objects.
It was difficult to figure out what to do with the gems but I eventually got through it. (be careful of accessibility problems, e.g. hearing-impaired, color-blindness)
I like that everything interacts with the single mechanic of the arrow.
