Flush Adventures

Hey there!

Here are some things that I didn't enjoy about the game:

• One of the jump sounds has a piercing click to it
• I wish you moved with the platforms (I can give you tips on how to do this in Unity)
• I wish I could pause with Escape
• I don't like waiting for very slow moving platforms (I don't have many ideas on how to fix this)
• I wish the world felt a little more alive (maybe make background animate (maybe the clouds moving across the screen) or robot animate or sounds for the robot moving or a big clank when it falls (a lot of small details goes a long way for this!))
  
• Pause button and level indicator text is much too large. (maybe even get rid of the pause button since most people know to press Escape for pausing

Here are some things I think you get right:

• Cat splash screen
• I like the mini-tutorial board before the magnets
• I felt like I had control over the robot especially with its jump height
• I liked how the background transitioned into a black sky
• Overall I think the style of the game is consistent
• The music isn't bad actually, it just needs to be a bit longer to avoid being repetitive

I beat the game so I enjoyed it enough to do that!

You also said you accept ideas. I have some, if you want:

- Bouncy Platform: A platform that acts like a trampoline, that automatically bounces you up when you jump on it

- Weak Platform: A platform that slowly moves downward when you stand on it

- Ice Platform: A platform with almost no friction

- Disappearing Platform: A platform that disappears when you jump off of it

- Pairs: A pair of platforms where only one has a hitbox. Which one it is changes when you jump on one

If you want to work with timing:

- Platforms that periodically appear/disappear/teleport
- Magnets that periodically rotate

Another thing that could make for interesting level designs would be something like a gravity switcher

After the update, playing the game is fun. The different types of platforms and dangers are a nice combination.
One thing I noticed is that if you fall from a greater height onto a magnet's to side, you still die.
Another thing I think would be good is the player automatically following the platforms when moving side to side.
If you want the extra movement space with the side walls, maybe make them so the character does not fully disappear but rather leave a small part of it visible.

Also, while the character movement generally feels nice, there is this game on itch.io explaining a lot about platformer controls, if you want to look at it:  https://gmtk.itch.io/platformer-toolkit

I have tried to play this game both in the browser and the downloaded version, and in both cases I am unable to jump.
I have tried to press every button on my keyboard, but no success. Is there something I missed?
Also, I recognize the player can't move too far to the left or right. This seems to be right when the player's hitbox exits the window. I'd suggest changing it so the player fully stays within the bounds of the screen.
