Played a bit, left a rating.

The game itself seems well done. I'm not a big phone gamer, and on-screen controls always felt meh for me, but that's not your fault really. Seemed to control well enough. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see any instructions about double jumping. I just kinda happened upon it.

Game is pretty, I like the ambient creatures just hanging around. Its a nice touch. The level design was good, though could use a bit more excitement, like hidden areas or something. Seemed pretty face-value, though that may be what you're shooting for.

Apologies for giving unwarranted advice, but I'd say your should revise your description a bit. Some of it could use some editing. Here are my quick thoughts:

The "over X things!" cliche is really offputting, at least to me. What does "over 8" mean? 9? why not just say 9? Seems like compensation for something, which could give a cursory viewer second thoughts.

Putting "cool" in there founds like some "hello fellow kids" stuff. Maybe just remove the word "cool"? I dunno. I wanna say it seems unprofessional, but I don't know how professional you're trying to come across as.

This is fine enough as a disclaimer, but then right below that, the only review I saw was from you as well, writing about how fun it was to play the game. I get that every review counts, but it can be a bad look.

One last thought, the permissions were worrysome. Specifically the G+ permissions. It asked to have access to my age range, language, and the names of the people in my circles. I don't particularly want to give out that information.

Anyway I'm being really critical right now. I hope you the best with this. Was fun to play with for a little while. I'll keep it around for when I'm stuck on a plane or something.

Thanks twister. I was aiming to make this game accessible for casual players and didn't intend to add any extras to keep the game focused. I did not want to make an ambitious game that I would end up taking forever to make. Think of it as a strong foundation for later games. I also deliberately did not teach double jumping since that feature is quite ubiquitous. I really hate hand holding the player when it comes to those sorts of things and prefer players discovering that for themselves.

The game is with a controller if you don't like touch. As for the cheesy was a little intentional since many mobile games have such writing. I will remove my credits, but keep coda's since I paid for his music. As for the G+ disclaimer, that can't be helped. I am using Google cloud saves so you have to accept that. There are also ads at he end of the level which is less intrusive.

Thanks for the feedback. I will keep working on this game and also will start working on the next one. I should aim for faster development times.

Not necessarily a goal worth chasing, if it means that the work ends up sloppier. It depends on what you're going for, but don't push yourself too hard and burn out.

Why should it end up sloppier when most of the heavy lifting has already been done. My workflow and skill have improved considerably allowing me to become more productive. With a strong foundation in place, that can be made stronger with feedback, I can focus on characters, gameplay and level design versus low level programming and infrastructure details. I plan to make the newer games a bit shorter in length, but with more of an emphasis on story. That would mean that I can make them faster. The change in focus as well as the streamlined workflow helps a lot. I will be working in the future so the less pressure I have on game development the better.
