Hey, I love the dynamic camera and movement. Parallax layers also look cool, but I quickly lost my way and couldn't see how to proceed further in the level...

Thank you! Could you tell me where in the level did you lost your way? So I can make it clearer  Were you able to reach the coin placed at the very top, near the first checkpoint? |

It was between first and second pushable blocks. Found my way on the second playthrough though.

Ah ok, I was thinking to make more clear where to go, push the block below and use it to go up and take the coin.
Since it is the beginning of the game, I will make that part more linear.

Played a little bit of Daemon. Here are my initial thoughts/questions: - The background environment is really good!
- This game gives off really chill vibes, I wish it had an accompanying soundtrack.
- I got pretty annoyed with the bounce sound and a little nauseous from the camera jerking around.
- Some of the controls were a bit jerky and a little unintuitive. Wall jumps are hard to do from one wall to another.
- Is there any reason that the character is a rectangle? It seems a little contrasting to the really detailed environment.
Daemon seems like a casual, chill game but with jerky controls. Since there are tons of platformers out there already you'll really have to focus on what makes yours different: sound, environment, art style, character? |

Thank you BorealGames for your feedbacks!
I finished to work on a new camera system, it solves the problems of the old one, including motion sickness, and will be included in the new version of the demo that I will post in October.
The sound will be replaced, as the rest of the prototype assets, including the hero rectangle.
The hero rectangle because I wanted a quick prototype, among the things I sacrificed was the main character.
I will try to post some hero concept as soon as possible.
The controls will be refined.

I tried the WebGL version. The backgrounds look pretty. With matching soundtrack and sound effects this could turn into really atmospheric game.
Controls feel responsive. The jumping felt a bit "random". It was often hard to predict how to scale a wall and I ended up just banging jump button until I got where I wanted.

Thank you fractilegames for all the compliments!
Likely that the wall jump will not be in the next iterations of the demo, I should dedicate more time to improve it but now I prefer to concentrate on improving other game mechanics.
I'm implementing the grab ledge, should make the game more fluid and enjoyable, adding more precise controls on hard jump sections.

Just further commenting on the wall jump. When I first jumped into a wall and stopped moving I thought it was a collision bug. If you do keep the mechanic maybe make it so you slowly slide down the wall SMB style? |

New version: https://ordnas.itch.io/daemon-test (loading time slow, wait 1 minute or so) - changed main character - changed monsters (Goblin and Blob) - added sword power-up - corrected game transition fade in/out - various fixed For now I suspend the project, it is a type of game that too much derivative + lots of assets/lore/quantity in general, it's just not fitting with my short-freetime. I will start a new one, easier and shorter game. |

This game is feeling awesome. The backgrounds are great, the character is cute (very cute  ), The controls feels responsive and the level is easy following through, I liked it. also, the enemies (especially the fist one you encounter, the blue spiky ball) were very intuitive to know that i should'nt step on it. For some reason tho, the sword didn't worked. I pressed the X on the Xbox controller and tryed the S Key on the keyboard but it didn't work as well. Love it. i'll be waiting to see it more complete. |

Thank you very much Sevenjace for your reply!  About the sword, I think that I messed up the buttons configuration...  |
