It feels more like levitation than jumping as it is.\r\rIt's a bit annoying that you'll jump again if you're holding the jump button when you land. You ought to make it so it only jumps for the initial button press.\r\rI'd also give him the character more jump height since the jumps seem to be very precise vertically. I think the peak of Mario's jumps are around a half-tile above the highest platform he can reach.\r\rThe enemies would be more fun to fight if they died faster. It's better to have more enemies with less health than less enemies with more health. The former is way more satisfying than standing there firing at the same enemy.\r\rThere's more I could say but it'll all come to you as you continue to make games."},{"author_name":"terop2","author_uid":"58046","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:30pm","epoch":1440512700,"text":"Finally found one game that works nicely on browser.
