Hiii, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share some feedback about it :), hopefully it is useful to you :D
-The main concept of the game is interesting and it's carried along the game in a good way.-The gameplay mechanics are simple and could be more polished, but don't get me wrong they are good and give the player a very fun experience.
-Visually the game is well done, but consider improving the particles and some special effects.
-The final boss was very easy and so are the enemies, make them harder/faster or give them something to defend themselves.
-Platforming was pretty fun.
In conclusion, the idea is great and I hope you keep working on making some videogames. Hopefully this is useful to you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)

Hi ! Thanks for the video and the feedback :) It’s really useful.
Glad to see you find the game fun and enjoyable.
Indeed, the game is intentionally simple and it is true that some things can be improved. The end boss is pretty easy to beat (and it’s the same for enemies), I try to work on it every update to make it more interesting, but it’s quite difficult!
I will move on to another project because The Strange Laboratory is a game that I have been improving since the release (September 2020) and it is time for me to start another project! But I note all comments to improve the game in the future.
Of course, I already subscribed to the YouTube channel, do not hesitate to do the same for my itch.io page! :)
PS: Can I link your video to my GameJolt page?
You are welcome :D
Yeah, you can use the link to the video where you want :)
