Definitely looks cute  Will the whip be used for more than just taking down enemies? |

I love the flashback to Kirby Style of the background. Something about it always appealed to me with the simplicity and bright colors and somewhat random shapes (stripes etc.).

Fantastic, definitely getting some Kirby's Adventure vibes from this, especially with the enemy death smoke + stars. Great work, can't wait to see more!

Wow dude this looks super cute! I wasn't expecting much clicking on an action platformer topic but now I'm intrigued. Also, I don't think the word "master" in the title really captures the essence here.

thanks.. you can follow me on twitter: @WhipMasterGame to be always updated. i also ask for feedback and make polls, about the name. i agree with you, it doesn't quite capture the cuteness of the game! i was also considering "Whipseey" but i went for "whip master" because i thought it was a bit more descriptive, thanks for your feedback I believe a good name needs to match a few important criteria: 1) Iconic / related to the game somehow 2) Easy to spell / memorable 3) Strong essence / atmosphere / mood I think "Whip Master" does REALLY well on the first two points, and sort of well on the third point, so in general I think it's a good name. "Whipseey" is cuter so does better on the third point but does worse on the first point and fails the second completely. Naming is really hard, but you have a strong central theme with the whip so that makes it easier. Bonus points if you come up with something that doesn't have any related results on google (another game of the same name for example) and a domain is available for your game (ie. whipmaster.com) |

I like this, I do hope there's a little bit more to that whip than just attacking enemies.

play the gg shinobi games, the blue ninja has a hook rope which works in a slightly unique way which allows for quite tight level design. the hook shoots out horizontally and no matter how far or close you are when you attach, you detach at the same spot. it lets you do puzzles

Seems like a fun and light-hearted game, best of luck with it.
I tried to send you a private message, but I'm not sure if tigsource doesn't work, it doesn't appear as a send message to you. Can I have your contact details?

there is still a couple of things i need to polish!! because of how quick the whip attack is, you need to have pretty good timing to hit the "anchor" on mid air, experienced players wouldn't have problem getting the timing right but casual players might find it a bit hard, so i'm working on making the game in general a bit easier for casual players, maybe i'll include and easy mode.....
this looks simply wonderful. you could perhaps combine both frames of the startup whip animation into one using motion blur and keep the fully extended whip frame out a little longer? but to me it looks perfect right now. |

Very cute, nice Kirby vibe. I like how clear it all is.
The name is problematic though, words like master, mastery - are quite evocative of toughness, grittiness... doesn't fit with the feel of the game.

Following this, because it's lookin' pretty slick, dude! Nice, simple, and clean art style, and cute characters. For CC, that green spike thing in the first GIF in your last post doesn't look inherently dangerous - looks a tad nubby. Otherwise, nice work all around.

yeah!! i agree, i had a very hard time choosing the name, i wanted something that was cute and descriptive of the gameplay, i considered "Whipseey or super Whipseey" but i felt that didn't describe the gameplay at all and it would arouse people's curiosity when reading the tittle Whipston Mr. Whippet Whip Grip Paradiso Ron Paul's Drag Race Whippopotamus Pete's Grand Cloud Safari The Thousand Lashes: A Game of Unbearable Cruelty and Punishment |
