A decent little platformer for Halloween!
(Your game is at start, but I also have a commentary and full unedited playthrough of your game.)
It's a pretty good action platformer game. I like the graphics and the main character. They are presented really well. What prevents it from pretty great, is someone mentioned it already in the comments. The platforming can be a bit jank and show a bit in stage 2 with one of the amulets being painful to reach, to full extent in stage 3. Regardless of the issues tho, I had some fun!
Still not bad. Could do some minor updates, and maybe I'll check it again.
I don't like the platforming in this game. It's too easy to fall into a pit and the knockback effect really makes it hard.
The mechanics kind of fit the theme of a small boy trapped in a horrible worlds but the combat feels week and the movement stitled.
It's mostly enjoyable and the graphics are nice. There's no lives system and you can continue as many times as you like so it's a decent game.
