[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!

[Castle Crashing the Beard HD]

I love this game, I sadly havent played Castle Crashers but I personally find this more addictive over something like Friday Night Funkin' but that game is still good.

Figuring out how to get all the red coins was hard and could do with an explanation or hint, I'm currently working on trying to get the no hit achievement but sometimes even if Im using the bubble ability I get hit...

Hm, you should NEVER get hit if you have bubbly on. Can you send me a video of where this is happening plz?
