[Gappy's Adventure : Coinkeeper's Cantrip (DEMO)]

I do quite like this, however there's quite a lot of unbalancing and game breaking issues.

Level 1 and 4 are quite good with a difficulty curve, however level 2 and 3 are insanely difficult, making you take leaps of faith and do crazy parkour for what is early levels in the game. Level 3 is unbeatable without taking a leap of faith and trusting the games dive physics at the start of the level.

I have also noticed that the game actually gets harder if you decide to use the helper blocks, when you run, dive, slide or are coming down a wall from a wall jump onto helper blocks you will clip through them and die, this effects level 3 and makes it actually harder as some of the areas where you will have to slide to break through walls have helper blocks placed there which if you slide on you will just fall to your death.
Similarly on the level 4 boss, if you get stunned you will be slung to the back of the ship and have to wait until a rare differing pattern barrel hits you, many times I thought I was soft-locked due to this.

I give this game a 4/5 simply because I like the physics engine and art style - very Kirbys Adventure like and that's probably one of the best NES games, hell I'll even favorite it because I know I will like challenging myself even with some of the game breaking issues.

Levels 1 & 4 in this demo are from world 1.
Level 2 is from world 2
Level 3 is from World 3

They do have some difficulty spikes but it was because I wanted to show off a variety of different level locales, so this sudden spike and drop and difficulty won't be in the final game!

Very fun and addicting,
JUST THE KINDA GAME I LOVE!

[The New Job]

Pretty fun little game! You should make a version of just the minigames as those were the most fun part and I feel like those + more would make a great endless game.

Maybe I'm nostalgia blind but I think this stuff holds up extremely well.
I would play this all the time in my childhood and it still holds up extremely well for me I love this game.

Nice game, I like the idea of a new Streets of Rage styled game and the graphics are great.

However I found moving around very klunky, especially trying to run, that was really hard so I kept getting hit by things when i would normally be able to escape them.

However my biggest gripe is with the design of the Bunny girl, it really irks me, I know shes the most experienced according to your description but the skimpy clothes on a child-like body just rubs me the wrong way in so many ways.

Good luck with the development.
