Unfortunately with the time constraints of a gamejam, I was not able to finish everything as I would have liked and there are still a lot of things to polish. I have some things planned to add/fix after the game jam is done, since I’m not allowed to add/change things during the voting.
One of the things is for the character to move with the moving platforms. I did try but it was very buggy of how I had set things up. So I eventually decided to go with no inertia for now, due to time constraints. Hopefully I’ll be able to add it in a future update.
I also did not want to make the character very ”floaty” but the jump could have been a little bit higher (or less gravity applied on upwards movement). Have been tweaking it a lot. It’s always difficult to find the right setting that fits most people. The character does have extra gravity applied while falling. Also if you hold the jump button you jump higher (and visa versa if you release the jump button you instantly start to fall. should probably add that to the tutorial)
For attack I think the speed is right (So far the only monster which I can not easily defeat is the mimic boss). I think where most people struggle with (also the people who playtested it for me) is that you can not move left and right while attacking. There is actually an animation cancel if you jump. But I am thinking of some options to change it after the jam:
Add animation cancel, when pressing left/right again
Add upgrades for attack speed
Or tweak some other options
Also was thinking of making a jump attack
Glad that some of you enjoyed it. I also added a “Known Bugs” & “Planned for Future” section to the description.
Yeah I should have added an option to attack with another button as well. On a laptop without an external mouse this would indeed be an awkward control to attack. Will add it to things to add after the game jam is done. (Since I’m not allowed to add/change things during the voting) Was actually thinking of adding an option to rebind controls (Have never done that before so I did not have the time during the game jam to add that feature)

Great game. Controls could be improved but it was fun to play.
nice looking game but crappy controls , why use mouse for attack and not z or x ?
makes it too awkward to play on a laptop

Your attack speed just feels so shit...
