Hello Dev, You've sent me OSK for my thoughts and here they are
Hey, first and foremost, thanks a ton for sending me your game for some thoughts, it's appreciated.

The price seems correct for a game like this, so that's a good start. Visually it's good. Love your color pallet. The Digital paint look for the trees, back and foreground are all great, I would of loved to seen it applied to the character sprites as well. Unfortunately i found the character sprites to be jarring in it's style. It's pixel art, though well animated, does not blend well with the digital painting style. There needs to be more cohesiveness between the 2 elements.

The gameplay itself seems simple enough on the surface, but once you get into the game there is no explanation to what the goal is. I jumped around a little, then I died from falling off a cliff and the game never reset... it just stayed on the death screen. When I went to restart to try again, I noticed there was no way to skip the intro. I would have to watch the entire thing again, and at the point I shut the game off.

So my final take is kinda mediocre at best unfortunately. A lack of clarity for the player, a lack of simple quality of life features such as restarting on death, or even a basic tutorial is missing, not to mention the inability to skip it's long intro sequence.

Though the music is quite nice and suiting, I couldn't take it all in since the gameplay was so shallow and kept me engaged for such a short period.

These are some of my honest thoughts. I'm very sorry I couldn't give you something more positive, but I feel being honest and critical was the reason you reached out to me in the first place.

I wish you the very best!

Hello Aldershot! You certainly have some great points! I am currently working on improving the game so your feedback is much appreciated. Things like skipping the intro and a short tutorial at the start will be included in the next update of the game. The death screen at the start is already fixed but regardless, thank you for testing it out! Cheers!
