this is interesting, but the dash is far too oversensitive. the first level with those (spikes? brambles?) thingies took me like a dozen tries. consider reducing the midair speed for a more fair and rewarding experience as opposed to a frustrating one.
perhaps think of some way to save or build up power for the dash? a hold and release mechanic, maybe? i know that's probably not the easiest thing to complete especially given that you mentioned time restrictions, but i think it would help a lot. you could try something that would work based on mouse controls too (aiming and dashing upwards at any particular angle etc). IMO this could really take the game to the next level and make for more interesting platforming or leave room for more complex level design.
i applaud the instant restart time. i like simple and challenging games like this and i hate it when the fade in takes like 5 seconds and i spend most of the time waiting
nice music choice. relaxing, chippy (zelda inspired??), and generally perfect music for a game like this. i think a lot of games dont quite hit home in terms of making the soundtrack immersive and just repetitive enough that you lose track of your surroundings and just focus on the game, but this does it quite well.
i noticed your levels lack boundaries. this actually doesnt make any difference in gameplay whatsoever other than allowing you to fly around extensively underneath the levels by dashing repeatedly, but i thought i'd mention it. i assume this is just because of time constraints so nbd - i actually found it fun and i love doing stupid shit like that in games... (maybe you could add secret areas by taking advantage of this to add platforms outside the viewable screen)
anyways i liked this title a lot despite its rough edges, and ive been trying to work with stencyl despite having no knowledge of programming etc and rly am interested in working on games/ i have a lot of ideas about this sort of thing, so if you feel like it go ahead and message me (or rly anyone who reads this) about anything i can do to help or participate.
i produce music and have been making visual art for the majority of my life (increasingly digital), so if you're interested in seeing my stuff please dont hesitate to contact me. i'd love to help make something like this if you have the time.
personally i am physically disabled and spend 99% of my time creating art or music, so trust me i will be willing to do whatever i can here.
good work mang!!! sorry for the TL;DR, but i hope at least some small part of this review worked to your benefit. have a good one, and keep it up.
