SLINGSHOT

hello! i've just played this game and had lots of fun. here's what i wrote down:

• Character control is great - squash and stretch and sounds help
• Graphics are pleasant
• Using slingshot is inherently fun and I like how it physically interacts with terrain. Puzzles where you have to think about where the orb is were my favorite.
• If player isn't inputting anything in air, character should slow down. Right now they keep going, which feels unnatural.
• Footstep noises don't match cute character or soft looking ground
• Strong Celeste vibes 
• Puzzle where you have to leave orb behind and complete platforming challenge yourself before using it to cross spike gap is super clever 
• Final challenge of first level is really hard haha, harder than anything in the second level since it requires such precise timing and positioning
• The green blocks that care about the position of your orb are a great idea. This made the 2nd level stand out to me much more than the first
• There's a bug where your orb will sometimes return to you before you want it to, without you touching it. That makes the "puzzle" room in the second stage frustrating
• There's what looks like an exit in one of the later second stage rooms, on the ceiling, but it kills you if you try to go up it! I was later again killed by the top of the screen near the end of the second level, despite nothing being there. I get that it's a kill field but it's unintuitive.

Can't wait to see this developed further, it's got lots of potential!

Completed this game in an about 45 minutes and here's my feedback:

Concept - overall concept is awesome and the game plays amazingly. There was no moment where I felt that controls are the reason I die - everything is smooth and works as it should work.

Difficulty - game is pretty hard, but not too hard - right as precision platformer should be. One scene, on the other hand, was too hard - it took me about 10-15 minutes (last scene of the first level).

Graphics - the character and the orb both look really neat, but what is lacking is background. Background looks fine while you don't look at it closely - it's not bad, it's just very simple. Parallax makes it better though.

This game is very good and totally worth a shot. I see a lot of potential in it - if the authors will continue working on it, I will take a pleasure to buy and complete it.
