I have to say the game is amazing the gameplay is simple but challenging the design is simple but full of beauty the music fits the mood perfectly the game is just fantastic if I had something bad to say about the game is that the difficulty ramped up really quickly from level 2 the game became quite a challenge that's not a bad thing but a more gradual change might be better to get used to the controls.
anyways the game is fun and that's what counts I wish there were more games like that with this art style and controls ... are you still making games?? and if you have more games released please direct me to them :D

actually quite a challenge.. I have to go do some stuff but I'll come back later for more. I really love the music, the art is very appealing simplistic but moody, great voice acting and overall appeal. Great work. PS: was this a Flash AS3 game? Cheers!

Definitely shows promise. With more time, I'm sure you could create something amazing. As this is, it falls severely short. The physics are wonky, the sound effects are too loud compared to the music, the game window bleeds over the side of the Newgrounds border that it's supposed to be contained in, the music doesn't always play correctly, and you don't have enough control over your character in mid-air.

Despite these problems, it's obvious to me you have talent. I like the choice of music and sound effects, the graphics are nice, and the game has a good mood to it. I look forward to your next work.

Good!!!

There are some major problems here but also some major potential. The first thing I noticed was a style of minimalism which sometimes helped the game and sometimes hurt it. The silhouette platforms were good. The menu buttons were good. The voice acting was good (though repetitive). The lack of boss music was bad. The lack of animation for the enemies was really bad. The lack of any sort of AI apart from the boss was very bad. The lack of a menu background, bad. The general lack of things to do in the game, very bad. The fact that the difficulty only affects your health, also bad. Even when you have a crouch feature, you only use it a few times throughout the entire game.

Overall the game showed signs of polish, but just as many signs of a lack of polish. The textures in the background were well-done, the character sprite is well-done, and the boss, interestingly enough, has well-drawn hands and a very sloppy looking body. I like how the lava had a delayed reaction in response to the boss' pounds, and how the screen shook with each attack. I see that you tried to spice things up with a flight mechanic in level 4, but it's not enough. You need to incorporate stuff like special abilities, collectibles, or features like climbing, sliding, or grabbing. This game is lacking in content and it hurts it a lot. Overall the gameplay becomes very formulaic due to the fact that the enemies don't even respond to the player. It also makes the player feel disengaged, which could have been rectified by implementing some kind of plotline.

I also want to mention that you really need to do something about that boss battle. I actually liked the physics - it's neat how the player moves faster while jumping - but I found many times that the player was sometimes fast enough to out-walk the boss' attacks, and was sometimes too slow. I noticed the player tended to die from this while walking outward from the center more often than if the player was walking toward the boss, but it wasn't a sure thing. The mechanics were at points sloppy, having once been pushed back into a wave of lava by a hand, or other times falling straight through the ground because I didn't jump quite high enough (at least stop the player from moving forward, show them that they've hit a wall).

Anyway I just want to reiterate that the boss fight is hell if you're going for achievement 05. It's frustrating and fickle and I feel like you didn't have enough people beta test the project. It would have been nice if the boss had more attacks, but more importantly the delay between the attacks needs to be greater, or at least more consistent.
