A creative story and terrifying looking cat. Simple and functional controls. A progress bar or score would be nice :D

I liked that it vibrated the phone. The game was pretty basic though.

Seems like almost a 100% copy of another game you submitted, which seems weird.

I had fun. I think you could work on your level design and make something that works towards how you made the jumping and death avoiding mechanics. You got all the pieces though, nice work.

I’m sorry, but your game doesn’t work on the last version of edge. You are trying to load a file called “undefined” and it gives 404. I only see a very creepy cat image staring into my soul.

I guess innovation is a must as every other game is endless runner.

Simple platformer, a little of visual humor.\nNot super quality controls and gameplay, but playable.\nNot sure about 13 cent theme, but there a some knights and archers)

This game is funny and I like the energy of the sounds! I think you could improve the graphics and try to animate the cat.\nI was not able to play the game in my mobile and with Edge, but I was able to play with Chrome.

A fun simple jumping game. The music was nice. Some of the jumps were quite easy, but the fireballs were really hard. So having the respawn points was great.

\n

Didn’t like being forced to play fullscreen. Also when the pop-up messages appeared, if you were playing with WASD, you’d have to switch to mouse to click as the WASD keys didn’t clear the messages.

Nice work… on theme, has sound and music, it’s a finished game.

\n

Played on desktop and the combination of WASD + click was a bit odd (maybe add support for SPACE for jump as well?).

The game offers complex controls. After an obstacle, the cat respawns again on the obstacle.

It’s a cat-based endless runner, except it has an end! As the feline hero, you charge across the ramparts, leaping with a massive mighty bound and trying to find the treasure chest (which really won’t take you very long). Baddies can be killed by landing on them, although you jump so high you often clear them entirely.

\n

I’m not sure it’s entirely on-theme, but I guess they did have castles, and cats, in the 13th Century, so I can forgive it.

\n

It scrolls fast, I quite liked the challenge and it didn’t outstay its welcome. Short, sweet, and graphics that look like they were randomly searched for on giphy 🤣

This appears to be the same game as https://js13kgames.com/2023/games/anachronic so I will copy n paste my comments from there:

\n

It worked perfectly on my desktop pc and the framerate was great. The art didn’t all match, but like anachronistic tech, it wasn’t really meant to fit into the 13th century anyways! =) It was a successful 13kb game. Thanks for joining the fun!

Cat - he is a cat everywhere. How many lives and so many attempts!

\n

Although the idea is not new, I haven’t seen a cat in it for a long time, but in general it turned out well! Had fun :). Thanks!

the cat is creepy, endless jump game is cool with the variation of obstacles and things to overcome, maybe graphics need more effort

Thank you for submitting your game and good work on getting it submitted! Here’s my feedback after playing a couple times:

\n
    \n
  1. I liked the music and sound - thought it was mostly appropriate for the ‘castle’ vibe and the sound on the archers was fine
  2. \n
  3. The biggest point for improvement is going to be in the responsiveness of the game itself. There were issues with the collision boxes (I found myself hitting the knights way before I actually touched them), the respawn point (found myself being able to spam respawn if you approach it from below) and the size of the screen. I’d suggest using view-height and view-width or percentages when styling your game.
  4. \n
  5. Folder structure - I did a quick review of the source code and there wasn’t any folder structure or readme. Attention to detail is always an important thing, especially when creating new projects. Thinking through folder structure forces the developer to think about concepts from an OOP perpsective which is very helpful in game design.
  6. \n
  7. I’d also like to see a README on any repository - that’s an industry standard and very important for the community.
