Graphics were good and I enjoyed playing. The different kinds of jumping was very hard to get used to.

I'm not sure how contested the throne, but you are, so far, the king of parallax...

Try as I may, I couldn't get the controls to work consistently. Great graphics and animation. Cool ambience.

@electric-blue, in that hour I try to film a video tutorial, it can help, i think. Thanks for feedback :wink:

Okay, I can't pass the first obstacle in the room. I fall down and hit the obstacles.. :sob: The parallax is good, the background is nice, the character design is also superb, the background music is calming.. Everything is good, but it's just not a game for me.. Sorry..

@drachmor, thank you :smile: three-layer parallax is the best solution for quickly creating an atmosphere, I spent about 15 minutes on it, but it seemed to me that their design did not go very well with the general style

@piko-monde oh) just hold the "Action" (K) to grab and press (W) to climb on floor :)

Holy hell, that's some great implementation there. The graphic reminds me of Superbrothers: Sword & Soccery. I'm a sucker for platformer and i must say your run & jump feeling are great! The grab mechanic create some very cool challenge. Especially the wall bounce sequence with grab & long jump. Control scheme is a bit clunky though. Maybe try auto grab?

Cool! Couldn't tell if there was a death counter anywhere but I think it would be a nice addition because I died a LOT haha.

@slimabob, one counter is exist, just search :smirk: ..and this is the major part of The Secret..

It looks very nice, feels very solid, cool animations.. I found it a bit hard to control, I always end up with frantic pressing all buttons :) It need some practice but it looks and feels really solid. Great job!

@jiri-hysek Thank you so much :smile: I hope you enjoyed :wink:

Graphics are great, I love the style, animations and parallax effect. I had very hard time nad tons of frustration before figured out how to grab onto the walls. After that, gameplay proces became very fun, but still challenging. Overall, loved it!

Fun game quite tricky at times. I like the pixel art as well. Definitely could be expanded on in the future too.

Looks great, but the controls don't feel right.

Looks great, sounds great, the controls feel a bit weird. But maybe that's because I don't play platformers that often. Overall pretty cool :)

Good entry, I like the setting and the switch maze you have built. That said, I missed countless jumps, forward jumps and ledge grabs, so my main critique would be the unforgiving controls, at least for someone like me. That said, even with the tricky movement, I wanted to at least complete the game, so you got me hooked properly :) Well done!

Was able to complete the game after countless controls confusion, but it felt great :smile:
Very challenging! Loving the mood! Well done :v:

I like the graphics and the mood of the game, it really got me hyped into playing it. But the movement felt so unnatural I had a really hard time understanding it.

I love the aesthetics and and atmosphere, the controls also felt really good when I got them right but I really struggled with them, maybe I'm just bad at this game :D
🎤 Igoreshka

@weirdybeardyman, I should have made the auto-grab, other players also had problems with control. Thanks for feedback. I hope you enjoyed :slight_smile:

The background music fits this game well. Like some others, I too struggled with the controls. Otherwise, this is a good game. Nice work!
