Your take on my prototype

[Vetora]

Hello guys,
Right now Im working on my first game and I have a small prototype, I would love to hear your take on it.
Please be brutally honest about it.

It's very generic so far. You're gaining an understanding of structure, but you need to tighten up the physics and collisions, then start on an original concept. You could easily expand on that platform spawning mechanic. Wouldn't be too hard to do so.

Anyway, keep working!

Thank you so much for the input Barzona! I would like to understand a little deeper why you think its generics and how you think I can expand spawning mechanic. The physics need to tighten up, you are no the first one to tell me that.

Thanks again for you input!

Generic means that it isn't any different than all of the other early platformers, from a design point of view. It's not a sin, but it needs to be addressed.

Completly agree!
I took the art from braid, fez, monument valley to make this prototype, the art design is far from finished, all you see is only placeholders. Thanks for pointing that out.
