I like the lighting effects, but they make it hard to critique and impossible to edit. Can we get some separate assets to look at?

It is wonderful, even magickal. The only thing I don`t like really much is that all the blue lights are overblurred, especially on the first picture. And the main character, in my opinion, is too... simle. Try to make him more stylish so he would suit the game atmosphere.

I like the effects and the backgrounds; it might be just me but since I'm not used to character that small I can't understand if he/she is facing left or right.

In the third image, the rock/mountain in the left looks too scaled/pixelated and I can't understand what's going on with the rock in the right; did the monsters destroy that?

Or is it smoke?

Cool game.
Nice art.
Got to the 2nd stage, 2nd checkpoint or so.

Quick feedback:

-- I like the simple inventory.
I kinda wonder what it'd feel like if all objects sorted forward as I used them.
If I'm holding 5 blocks, it might be nice just to press '1' 5 times to drop all of them.
But I dunno.
The numbers are kinda fun to push.

-- The dudes run animation plays a tiny bit slow.
But that is just personal preference.
It looks fine.

-- Couldn't skip the text after level 1

-- Game was fully understandable even tho it wasn't in English

Will play more later and give more thoughts.
Kinda busy.

Also you are new:

We're on a pixelart forum. I played the game, but if you want comments on the controls, I won't be posting them here.

Atmosphere was good, color use really worked for me.

I like your demo. Nice atmosphere, I like jetpack as aditional equipment. I think that it shouldn't be in inventory, but activated as option. I like how screens change instantly when you're jumping off the screen.

Secret areas are good for this kind of games but I didn't see what was that thing that I've collected and what is for. Stages with time limit are interesting but don't use them too often, they can be tiring.

Spider like creatures are very unoriginal, I bet that you can come up with something much more interesting.

I agree with PixelPiledriver

Also controls are a bit all over the place. I'm running from lava using arrows, pressing Z to jump, but at the same time I need to go up and press a number to drop the block without a mistake.

Game reminds me to "Zombotron" game which is good.
 
Overall good demo. :)

cool demo!

some feedback:
* don't make the player die if player spams jumpbutton and holds direciton right from the lift where lava is following.
* don't make the game hang with message "O YEPT..." when I place the block near the gun turret.
* it was okay to remove jetpack from stage 1 to stage 2, but removing it when u get up from the lava lift is not okay.

Very very cool game!
