Fun little game, imo the hardest part of the whole game was the second checkpoint on level 16, with the alien defending the cliff. It would be nice to have another, more intense sound loop for the beginning cutscene and the boss battles. Also if you are touching a wall and a bouncy block you will stay in one place and trigger the sound and animation repeatedly.
Reviews for "Super Blue Boy Planet"
I don't think the harsh reviews are justified. The characters are cute, the jumping mechanics are a bit quirky. I like it that you put in boss fights...it shows that you went the extra mile. The music is satisfying too.
Problems:
Level 10.
Hard to control your flight.
This game should not have 21 levels. It is obvious that you got bored toward the end and reused some levels and bosses. Have 10 levels that are decently constructed.
Not bad graphic but gameplay is boring and stupid
It's alright platformer. I liked graphics. Also there is nice design of enemies - especially jumping spiders are fun to avoid.
This is a fun little platformer - fairly barebones but fun enough to keep me playing through to the end. A few notes, though! First off, it's a little annoying to have the jump and hover buttons be the same, since it requires letting go of the key, messing with your jump momentum. It'd be nice if there were a second key you could use to trigger the hover, and players could use whichever method they find easier. Also, I don't think you ever mention that the down arrow drops you through platforms, although I personally got it since I've played a lot of platformers.
Anyway, some bugs: a minor one is, on the level menu, you can move the arrow wherever you want, even way off screen. This isn't a huge deal, though. On the other hand, the final boss has a pretty funny and terrible bug. It speeds up every time you hit it, but if you die, its speed doesn't reset. It was so gradual that I didn't realize it at first, but about twenty deaths in, it was absolutely rocketing around the stage. I had to quit out and restart the level for it to be normal again.
Anyway, good job on the game! It could certainly use some polishing, but all in all I think you did well.

Thanks for your big reply! I added/fixxed some of the feedback you mentioned like that ufo boss not resetting the speed.
