This is honestly an amazing start, I love how everything feels like the time of games you were trying to make it feel like. From polygonal characters to that spy theme. The controls are pretty horrible, however I understand why you made that decision but you could always make it changeable or something. As well as that I would add some polish like bodies not falling into the ground (don't know if that was intended) or just more exciting levels. But I understand that this a demo so I won't criticise it too much. Very fun though, keep it up.

I literally just added mouseaim! and bodies now stay onscreen.

Okay, here goes...

This game is just overall confusing, the colours are vibrant and it's easy to distinguish spikes between other things, which is a good thing, but I don't actually see any other positive things about this game. The negatives though, gee there is so many but I will talk about all of them: Firstly the spike algorithm is broken, sometimes you get two spikes on the bottom and on the top which makes it literally impossible to pass without losing, Secondly the restarting system is confusing as hell because instead of the game teleporting you to the start which would be a normal thing it just restarts the game as it is so every time you want to restart you have to move back to the beginning or just a place where there's no spikes. It's just frustrating to be honest. Thirdly the text behind the game is a bad bad idea, why didn't you just use the black space that is huge in this game? It would've been clearer the text moving behind the actual game is hard to distinguish and to read the whole thing you need to wait for it to loop a few times. Therefore, in shortened version, how you could improve the game:

- Move the text in the back to the black spaces above and below the screen, it will make it clearer and less annoying to read

-Fix your spike algorithm, it's broken.

-Make the restarting button teleport the player to the start and say something like "Click any button to start the game" that would prepare the player for whatever is coming and would just be nice overall.

- I haven't actually included it in what's wrong with the game but while I'm here I'll just say that there is no score, you should add one. A sense of achievement for the player makes him more interested and likely to play more.

You could also refine the game by:

-Making the animation smoother

- change spikes so they don't look like a pile of squares (unless you were going for pixel art, but it seems like you tried to make it minimalistic) You should do the same with text.

This game was done badly, but just because it was, don't give up! You can take the criticism and do better next time!

Arg410 responds:

I should clarify that the "Black space" isnt really there.... the game is 64 x 512 so the black is just filler made by Newgrounds. I have talked about the R thing, Restarting the whole game seemed like a normal thing to and I wasn't feeling normal, which why i ended up with a broken system. and yes it is Pixel art, everything is 32x32. and The text could scroll more smoothly, but again i did that on purpose... And the reason i ask for feedback is because i will make a updated version will more in it. Please PM me for anymore ideas THANK YOU!!

Very nice game: with it's minimalist graphics it's eye pleasing and the colour palette is well chosen.
The controls are comfortable for what they were designed for (phones) and overall it's pretty fun when it lasts.

The only things I would complain about would be the difficulty of the game which is really easy to a point and then it suddenly spikes up - please make it escalate and the shitty "download in the appstore" icons on the bottom which look genuinely ugly and kinda destroy the look. What I would suggest is either completely removing them or just make custom icons with your minimalist style. Very good job on the rest though, keep it up!

Points noted. Thanks for the feedback!

Very fun game glad you did a sequel! but it's (sadly) too easy i when i have 40.000Kj of space i can fill it in 3 or for seconds so i'm rating 4 good luck with new games!

P.S: can you add the upgrades to quick selling? it would be a lot easier

applessmillion responds:

Added a 50kj quick trade! (if you've unlocked the previous, you can use this)
