I don’t really see much 2d or sidescroller games on Roblox other than Vibrant Venture, Choices, A Lucid Dream, and etc. And most of those games are either broken or private. So I thought it was a good idea to try making my own! This game isn’t fully finished yet, but I want to see what you guys think. I feel like there are some areas that are bland and empty and I want to expand on them. But I don’t really know how, so any criticism or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I love the genre of these games. I will play your game and update my post with my feedback, but it’s always amazing to see someone has made one of these games.
EDIT:
So here’s my feedback.
I love the genre, as I said. I think this project of yours could use some improvements. The GUI is a bit boring, but nonetheless is good.
The one problem I have is this:
I understand I’m on mobile here, but the text and GUI’s and everything is overlapping and I don’t know what it’s saying.
Next, when I was playing and trying to jump over the gems, they seemed to be about the size of the player. Maybe scale them down a bit so you can jump over the green ones and red ones do you don’t die?
Those are the only issues I had.
For some creative feedback, maybe you should try removing the spawn protection bubble using a script. (Don’t know one, sorry)
Maybe make some varieties in tree’s? I seemed to have just see a few variants of trees pasted over and over.

Love the idea, keep up the great work. Hopefully some of the issues addressed here can be fixed, would love to play more of your game!

I didn’t realize the how large the gui’s were on mobile devices. So i’ll definitely try to fix that along with the gem resizing. I’m also thinking of making different trees and rocks as well, cause I did get lazy and duplicate the same ones over and over again. As for the forcefield, I’m pretty sure I can be able to disable it somewhere in the starterplayers. But other than that, thank you so much!

This game looks awesome! I think I should be able to press the enter key on my keyboard to continue the text. When I die I see myself in another area. But other than that, it’s great!

The dying in another area was sort of a bug that spawned you in the air for no reason. So I countered it by having you touch a part that makes you spawn back to your checkpoint. I will try to implement the press enter to continue, thank you for the suggestion!

Sorry for the month-long silence, but so far, I’d say I’m like a quarter close to finishing the game. I was able to fix some bugs such as gui overlapping(hopefully), updating the dialog, changing the gems, and etc. Now that i’ve updated and made some changes, I would like to see your thoughts and if there is anything that might need to be improved upon! Especially if there are any bugs available!
For me personally I might add a sprint button or just shorten some of the levels since there are a lot of long walks that don’t really add anything. That or I could add dialog or easter eggs to fill those spaces. I’m also going to add a checkpoint indicator, since all I currently have are sparkles which feel boring and out of place.
this game is pretty good so far
here are some issues I have though
pacing is a bit slow, either make the player faster or the levels more eventful
I would like a lot of the mechanics to be more show and not tell, the amount of reading should be as minimal as possible and the player should be able to figure out what obstacles do with experimentation or a short glance at a sentence
some of the background could cover the background, making it harder to play the game.
overall pretty good game, I could see myself playing this in my free time when im bored
good job!

Thank you for the feedback, just a question. What do you mean by some of the background covering the background? If you mean certain objects like trees or rocks blocking the way then it’s intentional. I thought it would make it a bit trickier and have you time your jumps carefully (or maybe add something scary to pop out of nowhere)
if those were your intentions then it is fair to keep them! I also meant some of the background objects covering the camera fyi lolol

Hi! Sorry for yet another long update, but unfortunately the pc monitor broke somehow. This happened almost a month or 2. And i havent been able to work on the game. The game will be put on hold for awhile until the monitor gets fixed
Luckily I do have a bunch of ideas for the game. Along with a few changes to the story. Once again, sorry for being inactive! Hopefully this will be fixed soon
