WWaldoon Ask HN: Would like criticism for my game demo on Android

Market link is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.waldev.pla...

Hey everyone, I finally got a demo of my game out, and I was hoping, because this was the first place I posted about it, I could get some feedback for you guys.

Currently, the general consensus is this: The jumping needs work The movement needs more precision There needs to be more optimization

I was wondering if you guys could give me some more feedback, I want this game to be as good as possible.

I am planning on adding a scoring system, I haven't figured out how I want to do that yet though, time or what have you. Thanks for the input, I appreciate it

I did them separately, I just used my laptop mic as I was watching the video to do it. I don't think I have another mic around or I would record it again :(

Sorry, I will try to fix that when I get home. I have been thinking about ways to allow the editor to become more compelling. My initial idea was to set up a server to allow people to host levels, and have a random level button in the editor, allowing them to grab a new level and play it. I don't know if that's what I will do or not, but it's an idea i guess. Do you have any ideas how to make it more engaging?

I did the recording at midnight last night, I thought about that after. I tried to sound excited, it just came across as cheesy and put on, so I went with this approach, sorry I bored you :(

I had planned on making the art myself in the first place, but I discovered kickstarter and figured it was worth a shot.

I have a lot of these little projects that I work on, most of them are for my research though. This is the only game I have had time to do for myself. The fact is that the engine I am making can me used for anything. I have already began work using the same basic code for a top down rpg. There is a lot more code there than you can see from the game because of the stuff I did to make it moldable
