Its Bad.

Sorry man, but this is just garbae. I have nothing to say. I agree with everything xlomid says.

Hi! I'm sorry you didn't get a warmer welcome to Newgrounds: you generally get good feedback on this portal, but it can also be quite harsh. I am assuming this is one of the first games you've made, and I'll make a few suggestions for how I think it could be improved.

1. Story: What is Spiderman doing collecting coins and mushrooms in the forest? It would be nice to have a story that would explain what is happening in the game, giving the player character a meaningful purpose.

2. Inconsistent assets: The sprite for Spiderman is pixel art, the coins and cactuses do not have an outline around them, the mushrooms do, etc. In short, all graphics in the game have a different style, so it doesn't feel like they belong together. There are many Creative Commons tilesets and character sprites available as free downloads online; it would be good to use assets from the same set (or with a similar aesthetic) and make sure it's not copyright protected. Also, you don't even need detailed graphics to make a good game - look up "Thomas Was Alone" as a good example.

3. Difficulty progression: in a longer game, you'd normally have several levels, with each new level being more challenging and introducing new gameplay elements. You could do this too, e.g. with the first level focusing just on coins, the second introducing mushrooms and potions, and the third having some kind of boss at the end. This would help the player have a sense of progress in the game.

4. Guidance: at the moment, the game doesn't make it clear what you should do. It wasn't immediately clear to me if I had to collect all the coins, or just reach the end of the level, or do something else. It's good to give players more specific instructions. (Granted, you wrote about it the description - but people seldom read those.) Also, I think I reached the end after collecting all coins, but nothing seems to have happened? I wish the game would tell me something.

Anyway, I hope you don't get disheartened by the comments -- and good luck with your games!

I can have some pity if you are a teenager and this is your first game, before making a work public, please test it at home with your friends and get their opinions, you will avoid harsh critics

Best game I've played all year. Make more please, you got mad talent!
