This is my own Warioland 4-inspired platformer game called “ADRENALIN”. It’s currently just a Pre-Pre-Alpha, and a lot of placeholders are used. Im working on it solo, so it would help me if you like it, but all criticism is helpful!

Watch a gameplay video here:

Looking great so far. The game seems like it has some trippy movement going on which is just like a warioland game haha.

Some feedback that I can give so far in your project just from the video, I haven’t been able to play it yet since I’m at work.

  • The game gives a feeling of being rushed or pressured because of the movement and timer, which is probably intended since it’s referenced game is warioland.
  • The swirl where the player spawns is a good spawn point and has a nice animation
  • I like how the face animation changes at the top right corner after collecting the statue to give the impression of the character panicking
  • I really enjoyed the animation for collecting the trophy and how it moves off screen
  • I couldn’t understand from the video how you were able to move up to where the trophy is. I’m assuming it has something to do with gravity?

Good job overall and I can’t wait to see more polish come to this particular scene.

The video looks pretty good. I’m not on Windows right now. You should consider adding a browser version to your itch page. A lot more people will play a browser game than download a zip file from an unknown person.

The move is called a “Superjump”, taken from the game Pizza Tower. It is used by pressing Up and V on the keyboard. Thanks for the feedback!
