The visuals and effects in this game were extra well done.

Thank you very much!

Mostly good fun, but could use more tolerance on the jumps and collisions.

The release point for jumping *is* very tolerant, it's more about the distance and height you need to cover, which doesn't allow much room for error. At some points you seem to need the extra tolerance of jumping late to make them at all. It especially becomes difficult in the flooding levels where the edge of the platform can be hidden underwater by the time you're attempting a jump.

It was just very easy to collide with the charging pigs, spikes, or overhanging branches (when trying to jump up to higher levels) earlier than felt right. That could be from brushing corners if square hitboxes are handling the collisions, but even without it, it doesn't take a big difference to feel like you died from the wind off a pig's back instead of from a solid hit.

For the branches you want them to not have collision at all when jumping from underneath (in good old platform style), while for the pigs and spikes, maybe just reduce the collision area that tiny bit.

y-zo responds:

Hi, thanks for the review!

More tolerance? I even thought that I was too "kind" with jumps^^
You can jump very late even after you left a platform. So I'd really like to know if you thought that wasn't enough?

But you're talking about collisions, could you elaborate?

All fine skippin' along until the water levels and return under duress stroll, then it's just cruel.

y-zo responds:

Hi, I tried to do a linear difficulty curve and had it tested by people with different "gamer" levels, but I reckon it's a bit harder at the end.

I hope you add an on and off of those bloody leaves, it makes the game laggy and deteriorates the experience.

y-zo responds:

Hi, do you have Hardware Acceleration enabled? Because I tested the game on several browsers and platforms on different computers (with even Integrated Graphics) and it's fine on my side.
Could you provide me with some info on the browser you're using, if Hardware Acceleration is enabled or not, and the GPU that runs your browser.

I think I finished the game... at some point there was a black screen and nothing else happened, I hope that was mean to be the end. The graphics and the music are really great. Platforming could be slightly more involved and there could be more enemies. Boars are little bit too fast and you have to wait for them to get far enough which slows down the flow of the level. Otherwise great job.

y-zo responds:

I just noticed it...
It works fine everywhere (GX.games, itch.io, GameJolt...) but here it does this...
So no it wasn't the end^^
If you want to at least play the full game please check the game on one of those sites I've written above...
I'll try to understand in the meantime why it does this here...

P.S. Can you retest it now? The black screen is gone!
