Making a game is never easy.\n\nSome pointers:\n- I'm always interested in seeing settings, especially in game jams. It's cool that there are some, but I believe you could have a saved time there. I thought my high-end laptop could handle epic but apparently, it couldn't. Just a default setting that should run fine on most machines could save time here.\n\n- I went to credits and was a bit lost seeing a 'congratulations building'. For credits, you can also keep it simple by adding a splash screen or just adding it to the title screen. Also saves some time.\n\n- There were a few cases I wasn't sure about the info. Could I unlock double-jump and run? Where can I find the entry to the next level?\n\nAll that said, it's a game! Congrats on seeing it through.

The Gameplay as well was very much a concept of getting it technically working, with less time then to make it super fun (which is a bit silly I admit :P ) Many thanks for all the comments :)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1048847,"author_name":"Gnum_","author_uid":"gnum","epoch":1713301134,"text":"I really liked your 3D graphics, it looks very cool against the background of the game and fits the theme!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1049330,"author_name":"Fenix131113","author_uid":"fenix131113","epoch":1713303623,"text":"10\/10 mails.
