UI, Menus & HUD

World 1, Level 2, Hills

Movement 

• satisfying to pull off

• 2(+1) characters have unique move sets and playstyles

• Offers control & speed

Spring Character

• With new visual cues B-hopping is much easier to pull off and keep track of, the dive is easier to see the AOE and its easier to tell when you've double jumped

• I am all around satisfied with this character, I like it's control method and movement and I don't plan on changing it much at this point.

Foot Character

• This character offers a slower, more controlled playstyle 

• More difficult character, I don't mind this but I do think combat is a bit too hard.

• I like this character and enjoy playing as it but it does feel to be missing something, a unique benefit like B-hopping for the spring.

Roller Power 

• I had a lot of fun playing this character, the fast paced, constantly moving playstyle of this character is very fitting with the ethos of this game with a slight twist of not really involving jumping.

• Momentum mechanics & could be more realistic

• Character uses almost exclusively mouse controls to move around with the exception of space bar to hop

Level Design

• Level 1 - this level is pretty simple, not very hard and acts as a tutorial or introduction to the mechanics.

• Level 2- this is pretty different, you start as your main character in a more linear segment but get the roller power up transitioning slightly into a more open area and introducing the player to a new playstyle, then ending with the original character. This level is a lot harder than the first, especially because of the roller's speed. Needs more playtesting but I am very happy with the result of this level.

• Level 4 (3) - This is intended to be final level of hypothetically 4. Its the classic lava castle fortress level but with a volcano instead. This level is currently a work in progress but it focuses more on enemies and obstacles than the other 2. It introduces a new, much harder variant of the ball throwing enemy and falling lava balls. Not finished yet but this level will end in a boss fight.

• Overall I am happy with my level design so far, each level serves its own purpose and has a central mechanic and theme, which prevents the game from feeling repetitive.

The game was received very well. I need to further work on balancing and bug fixes but both players definitely had fun playing the game.
