[Sunnyside vs. the Eggies]

[Voiceless (Legacy version)]

The tempo-based platforming is interesting, but together with the tempo-based blocks it's really just too much.

[Splat Chicken]

I like the concept but the acceleration is just way too fast for a game that demands this level of precision.

[Nest Quest]

Why would you have the camera forcibly tied yo your velocity? It makesit unnecessarily hard to control, and not in a good way.

[Gemini Blast]

The background lights really do not help with visibility.

[Neon Amazing Dasher]

The fast speed and zoomed-in camera make it really hard to actually navigate or platform.

[Timedox]

This has the most insufferably awful-feeling platformer physics I've ever experienced.

[Gal-Nin]

What the actual fuck is that keyboard control scheme?

I've made an update that puts the buttons on ZXCV now so maybe give it another shot if you'd like.

[The Other Side]

Some of the puzzles are clever and the final one stumped me for a while. But other than that, the game has some serious problem. The physics feel terrible. The combination of near-instant ground acceleration and very limited aerial mobility make precision platforming a pain. I think the biggest problem here, and why the game has such a low rating, is that the game looks sloppy. There's just not any visual appeal in general. The entire area is bland and empty. The contrast is too low, it's almost hard to see the light grey platforms against the white walls. There are issues like the closed and open door sprites not being aligned. Also you set the height of the viewport too small. The height needs to be for the entire frame including the unity bar at the bottom, not just the project itself.

OhTheOtherSide responds:

Thank you for the very helpful feedback. We’ll definitely try to incorporate most of it!

Please if you're going to have something as frustrating as ricochet walls, the _least_ you can do is to make sure that they actually consistently ricochet at the correct angle instead of directly into you.
