Thank you very much for the detailed feedback on Parachute Peril!

I will admit that yeah, the game is pretty simple. I had been in a creative rut for a few months following UFO Blocks, and mostly just wanted a relatively simple project so I could actually finish something. As an aside, the game actually didn't have enemies at all at first- they were added after Mari (the composer) tested the game and said it was too easy.

The wind mechanic was inspired by the game "Wario Fills A Water Cup", in which Wario blows water droplets into a cup with a similar one-button control scheme. While the game is clearly a joke, I thought the blowing mechanic was interesting enough to explore in other ways.

I'm glad you enjoyed the small hitbox- to be perfectly honest, I was VERY nervous about it since no one brought it up during testing and I was worried people would think the hitbox was inconsistent. The graze thing is a REALLY good idea though.

Also- the player character is an ant, and the enemy characters are flies. It's also using a leaf parachute, though I'll concede a bit and say that it probably could've been made more clear if the leaf had a bit more texture.

Thanks for giving Leslie & Brianne's Galactic Rampage a fair shake! Some valuable feedback there, especially as I'll be making more games in Pocket Platformer in future. I'll pass your recommendation for a "Save" feature on to the Pocket Platformer dev too.

Hope you find time to play through the whole game. (It'd be about a ~30 minute adventure, based on your platforming skills and reading speed.) It doesn't get any less meme-y though, so be warned!

Update: PP Dev is in favour of adding a save function!

Thanks for your feedback for RandoBots! I like expecting your playthroughs, you never miss a post ;)
I sent your feedback to the team, we all really appreciated you playing the game and sharing your insights on our choices of gameplay, UI and sound.
(I guess the sound button really looked like a flashlight, and we did really miss that the turret should have been slower while shooting. I genuinely tried to come up with a reason not to shoot all the time, and this was the obvious solution).

Keep it up!
