Hey grinseengel2,

I played your game.

Things I liked:
- Everything controls well & the game runs well
- It's pretty fun
- It's challenging

What could use some work
- It felt awkward that I had to click after a death to respawn.  I would like it to respawn me automatically.
- The game speeds up over time, that's normal.  If you let the game run while in the dead state the level will continue to speed up.
- It got boring after a few tries

Very nice little game!  It's a good time killer.

Hi,

played your game.
Nice challenging game, well done

I'd agree with jbarrios, clicking to respawn is odd.

I was a bit frustrated by the hit detection. I mostly died because I moved sidewards into a barrel when I though I had already cleared it. My recommendation would be to make the hitbox only half a barrel "long" towards the back side. That would solve the problem for me. It feels a bit like the collider of the barrel or the character are boxes when maybe a sphere or capsule collider would be a better fit.



Oh, and the webgl version never shows the menu (had to use the download version).

Keep at it!
