IMPORTANT: Boss fight is bugged and he'll be unkillable if you take damage during the fight. Play the latest version for the bugfix: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/868828
Welcome to Pouchie's game! He's excited to play the game and have fun. This game demo features one full level with coins to collect, enemies to squash, and a building to reach in order to end the game. All game assets are custom made as a call-back to classic platformer games, while also keeping a black and white aesthetic, which matches Pouchie's theme (pronounced P-oo-ch-ee), as he was originally inspired by the old Black and White cartoons, popularized by Fleischer Studios and that other one.
Hopefully you enjoy this small project of mine!

What's new:
- Added a BOSS LEVEL! His name's Boomer, and he's none too pleased with you running around causing mayhem. You need to jump on him three times to take him out, but watch out! He speeds up the more you hurt him.
- Added Wall Jumping! From now on, when you're falling against the wall, you'll slow fall, rather than immediately fall to the ground, or worse, out of the level. When you're slow falling, you can jump against the wall to wall jump and save yourself from wherever you're falling.
- Added music to some of the levels! Some were created using loops on Bandlab, but the main music for the level is 8-Bit Surf by David Renda. Currently, most of the music is very much placeholder as I would like to create all new music for this project in the future.
- Added a world hub for level selecting! In anticipation of adding new levels to the game, there is now a proper world hub for going back and forth between levels, as well as a level progression feature where you must complete the first level in order to access the second, and so forth. As it currently stands, there are only two complete levels. Level 1, and the boss level.
Bugfixes:
- When taking damage from Bootstrappers, or the boss, Pouchie will now have a grace period with Invincibility frames where he no longer takes damage and can pass through enemy mobs.
- Health will no longer drop below zero
- Adjusted walking and running speed to have a proper notable difference between the two, allowing the user to choose which speed works better for the task at hand.
- Adjusted tiles with one-way collisions to have smaller collision boxes to avoid triggering Pouchie's wall-jump state.
- Pouchie can no longer free-roam after hitting the goal.
Known Issues:
- When you're sliding against a wall in slow fall mode, there's no easy way to leave it without wall jumping.
Ditto on floaty, almost robotic movement.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy working on stuff. I'm still not sure what exactly is meant by "floaty." Is it the jumping and falling? The walking and running? Also, is the robotic movement the controls, or the animation? This is literally my first game, and I've been following tutorials in order to learn how to code. So any suggestions are more than welcome.
i was playing this while eating mc donalds my life was good until mc donalds dropped out of hand because i got scare by small cartoon cat go jumping why do he do this. when my big mac fell out of hand i could not breathe was so upset because pouchie the cat. i so pissed off and my cat denis climbed onto desk and got scare by cat jump on dog and denis knocked over diet coke from mc donalds. i was so upset and sad. big mac was so yum got a few bites was tasty. then just when my life couldnt get worse while playing this game one of my friends friend pete came in with his big mac he threw it at me. but the throw didnt hit me it hit monitor causing monitor to fall and break my fingers. my nan saw i was playing this she was so mad so she dropkicked me into the wall and now family is mean to me because nana said it was my fault so now i am grounded. i then cried and got scare because denis drunk all diet coke from carpet he had heart attacked. i was crying so bad. but i ate big mac off floor it had dog hair in it but was yum tasted like big mac. why do he scare and make drop big mac. why he do this to me and family. i wish my friend raheem didnt show me this game he caused me so much pain. but at least big mac supported me at the end of day. this game broke me but i will still play it because everything deserves second chance but if pouchie the cat make me drop mc donalds again i will not play again. i hope creators of this game dont have good birthday what the put me through no one should ever go through.

So, I've been told that this comment is a meme, and while I'm usually a fan of memes, I'm not a fan of them being used for one and a half star reviews. Low ratings used as a joke, instead of providing actual feedback hurts not only me as a creator, as I'm not being told what the actual problem in the game is, these reviews also hurt the game itself, because a bunch of joke downvotes will make people who see the rating think that the game itself is bad, and not worth playing.
One of my biggest issues with this game is that Pouchie's movement seems to be really floaty,
ThatElfNerd responds:
Thank you for your feedback! Would you say this floaty feeling is a consistent issue throughout all movements, or is it specifically with him leaning against walls? The wall jump functionality's been a bit difficult to get right.
