A splash of nostalgia and a constant meeting with my end!

Mushy's Adventure brought back that old school platformer style where simplicity governs the theme and its the player who will make mistakes leading to their own demise. It took me about half an hour to complete those 10 levels, but mind you, each level needed only a minute. Impatience is the true enemy here and it's great when the challenge of a game is yourself. The game as a whole is cute and a fun quick experience, but I also see much potential to improve by taking it to the next level or for the developer to outdo their previous work. Incredible Job!

Notes: To see the menu, I did have to press ESC 3 times, the third being the one that opens the menu. Another thing is the jump sound, it occurs whenever you press space even if you are already in mid jump.

That's a very cute game! good job!

Enjoyed playing this. In particular, the little touches of humour and incidental stuff (like the slow motion button). The character controls very well too. I ended the game when I got stuck behind an orange background though! I think it was the third level, where there's a big drop and I went through the floor. I wasn't too much of a fan of the fight mechanics or the randomly dropping squirrels. The traditional Mario-style jump kills would be better for me- especially as the jumping is very good in this.

One thing that might confuse people is the presentation style- I assumed it was going to be a mobile-style platformer at first, with single-screen levels you complete in about 30 seconds (partly due to the level select screen). Instead it's more of a quest-based adventure. This is better for me, so I'd recommend emphasising and enhancing the adventure aspects of this. Or not- it's your game after all- do what you want ;)

Just finished the first few levels and I'm loving the art. I like the slow motion mechanic, cause it works well in a platformer like this. Great game!

Played the first 5 levels without any major issues. The items I noted while playing were:

- When first starting the level it sometimes takes upto 3 presses of the escape key to open the menu
- I was getting a lot of screen tearing while playing, maybe VSync isn't being enabled?
- When clicking another window on my second monitor the monitors would both disconnect/reconnect. It seems something isn't being handled right here.
- It would be good to have a windowed mode rather than only be able to run the game in full screen mode (that may fix the above as well)
- Maybe the special could have a cooldown bar to show when it is available again
- Pressing jump while the paused menu is open will unexpectedly perform a jump once the menu is closed
- The music volume doesn't seem to affect the main menu music

Nice game!

I've played your game, it's nice, automatic update checker, that's great. The humor in it is good, really nice graphics.

Some nagative things, when the player is in the air, when pressing the jump button, the jump sound still plays, I would fix that. :) I don't want to seem like a, ya' know  smarty-pants but Scores, thats odd, like 1 Scores, you could do it like that Score: 1. But if it's like, some kind of a in-game currency. it's fine.

About slow-mo, there's actually no positive things for it, when it's activated, the player, even doesen't jump, he just hops, you could leave that. But add a positive for that, like, you could one-shot enemies, if you would do that, make a cooldown for that. ;)

Overall: 9.2/10

I hope the game will be succesful! Have a nice day.

I really liked this! I'll be looking forward to future games from you now.

Likes:

- The harp-like background music is very calm and soothing.

- Signs informing the player how to play and where to go. I never felt lost in any of the levels.

- The cute theme is nice and reminds me a little of Kirby's Adventure.

- The main character is cool and has nice animations.

- The game is easy to play and the levels are not too long.

- Great sense of humor! Especially after dying.

- I also have to say that I really like your game page. Having a Youtube video showing how to install your game is a great idea!

Suggestions for improvement:

- Using the left shift key to attack often results in a Sticky Keys pop-up in Windows which was kinda annoying. It also doesn't feel very natural to use the keyboard and the mouse in a platformer. Instead of fighting the squirrels I found it easier to avoid them. I would suggest getting rid of the mouse controls and remapping the "attack" button to another key on the bottom row.

- I got as far as the level with the vanishing spikes, but didn't really find much use for slow-motion or crouch in any of the previous levels.
