Thank you for the feedback. That helps a lot. I think I may switch to a simpler finite state machine when determining the horizontal speed of jumps based on your feedback.

Thank you. I can't take credit for the pixel art though. The pixel art was created by a very talented artist called Phil Giarrusso.

@kururu03.bsky.social About a month ago, I tested your game and provided some feedback. Would you test my game prototype and provide me some feedback as well? arcanosystems.com/games/

Thanks, but I can't take credit for the pixel art. A very talented pixel artist called Phil Giarrusso gets the credit for that.

Sometimes I think my collision code is total jank and spaghetti code, but like... it does work...? (most of the time) So I guess I shouldn't touch it. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I love the pixel art and the theme. Is the lunar / rabbit theme a reference to story of Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit from Chinese mythology?

In preparation for the js13k game jam I am making a small vector game library that I call BeepMicro. It mostly draws vector shapes from an array and takes care of timing and input. See some screenshots of test games I've made below. #gamedev #js13k #javascript

A minimal retro vector version of Breakout with a dark background and bright colours.

Started defining a "FIGHT" group to isolate some collisions from others. Currently, only Bilou and yellow worms have been migrated to the "fight club", meaning that bouncy branches and applemen can no longer be interacted with ... temporarily. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #MadeWithMyEngine

The camera movement looks good. Are you are just using x and y axis follow without deadzones and using lerp for smoothing?

Jonas M (he/him) @jonasm1992.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

I didn't like the camera bounce / rollercoaster effect, where it shifts back upward when ground contact is made after a fall, so I figured that the offset should only be shifted downward when there is a strong signal that the player needs to see more of what's beneath them.

000

Jonas M (he/him) @jonasm1992.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

It was all by feel. The 3-tile fall threshold means 3 tiles from the last ground contact, not from the current position. The y offset was kept in range [-2 tiles, 2 tiles]. I decoupled the follow lerp from the change in y offset. The y offset change rate was limited to under 4 tiles per second.

Jonas M (he/him) @jonasm1992.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

In that test, I used an offset on the y axis that defaulted upwards but shifted down if the player fell more than 3 tiles and no deadzones. I figured this would be a good configuration for levels where the player's goal is to reach the highest point. I also used lerp with a constant of 0.125.

Jonas M (he/him) @jonasm1992.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

My feedback: I like the pixel art and mechanics, but the way the camera tracks player movement is annoying to me. It seems too jarring. Maybe you could try using camera dead zones on both x and y axis to minimize camera movement, so it only moves when necessary.

💡 CSS Tip! Add a Hand-Drawn underline to your navigation menu using a few lines of code! A cool demo powered by Anchor Positioning and border-shape 🤩 css-tip.com/hand-drawn-u... It's Chrome-only for now, but you get a straight (and boring) underline as a fallback.
