Some ideas for a sequel

Alright, hey dude, here's what's up.

Loved a lot of the game. Especially the map because if you can't find one you can see where you haven't explored or if you saw a gem but weren't able to pick it up.

My problem with it is that the only motivation you have to continue playing is to find more gems. What would be really cool is if each gem gave you something. I'm sort of thinking Zeldaian here, like maybe there are 5 different areas on this planet, like a forest, desert, ocean, etc. and in each zone you must find 10 gems and 1 item like a jetpack which allows temporary hovering, or the scuba suit needed to do the ocean level.

As it is, I don't think there is enough variety and there is no reward for collecting each gem, which would make continuing much more compelling.

But loved it overall! Good luck in the future!

Excellent.

This game is the best and most creative thing I've seen in a while. Enjoyable gameplay, and anyone who loves either exploring or puzzles will love this. I was addicted to the point of not stopping until I got all 27 gems.
However, that's not what earned this a 10. At the core, the gameplay has been done tons of times before. But the way you added the gradually devolving and glitching graphics/music pushed this game over the top. I've never seen anything like this before; a game that confuses you and makes you panic the farther you get. The intentional glitching is what makes this game stand out.
Overall, 10/10 and 5/5. I'm looking forward to future submissions by you.

Glitch affects graphics, but game play is unharmed

At first the graphics appeared as they were ment to. But as I played, they started getting scrampled (pieces began looking like other tiles at random, or changing color). Eventually, there were cubes of water, and neon pink seaweed making up a good portion of floor tiles.

But this never hindered the gameplay (which is very much above average). The graphic style is retro and well designed, the game is fun (the little guy jumping over bullets and dodging linear-pathed enemies reminded me of PHAROAH'S TOMB), and the controls wer good as well (something that many basement programers seem to neglect).
Even the graphic glitch wasn't a problem, since that always happened on NES games, so it just made it feel more genuine.

Overall, REDDER is an excellent game in a world of mediocrity.

9/10 (and I don't throw out high scores to just any game)

Interesting

I actually thought about building a spaceship that ran on gems once. The spaceship community told me I was stupid because gems are a terrible source of power, especially ones that are bigger than me. They were so angry at me that they killed my family, which I thought was a bit extreme, but I saw their point.
