OK, I played through some of the first level on my tablet, some thoughts:

• Controls don't feel responsive enough: jumping is a bit clunky and probably needs to be a bit higher in general.
• The base hit-box for the player may be too small. I had several times when it looked like I was definitely on top of an enemy to jump on them but the game registered it as me having hit them in the front.
• The English grammar isn't great - if you want, get in touch and I'll happily have a look at it all and help improve it for you.
• Have you tested this on tablets or just phone? On a tablet, the differential resolutions of some graphics elements are quite visible: eg the eagle looks a lot "sharper" than the player character.

I like the style of the game overall, basically, but found the controls a bit frustrating to use. Hope to see better sorted versions in future :)

Great, I'll try and take a look at the new version soon :)

EDIT: Current issues:

• I still think you need to expand the hitbox underneath the player a bit (and neaten up the hitboxes compared to the graphics more generally)
• On my tablet the main running animation doesn't work: it occasionally works for a bit after I've been on a ladder
• The centring on the ladder is good, but dismounting from the top of the ladder has problems: I usually sink a rung or two down and have to jump awkwardly to get out.
• I managed to run out the back of the hidden cave on lvl1 and ended up falling forever! Suggest adding as a failsafe that if the player falls down off the level they die.

Hope that helps :)

Can confirm animations now working :) dismounts from the top of ladders are now smooth too, though I've occasionally got stuck/unable to move at the bottom of them. It's definitely feeling smoother & improving though!
