Pretty fun, with flaws.
It was a pretty good game I suppose, just with a lot of flaws.
Really nice for a first game.
For one, you are going to want some better text, as the current text you have is pretty bland in just times new roman.
Perhaps download a font but not keep it as a font layer, rather make it rasterized.
Also, you are going to want for it to be capitalized and spellchecked just incase you misspell, as well as the very beginning is uncapitalized and it throws it off. As for gameplay, it gets kind of repetitive and you could make more of a challenge. Try adding enemies or laser beams here and there to throw off the main character.
Possibly make more of a plot, as you don't really know whats going on.
As for artwork, the sprite work is pretty nice.
However, make it more consistent. Don't have a drawn background with sprite characters and drawn powerups.
Remember, consistency is key. Make everything drawn or everything sprited in a game like this, otherwise it looks sort of off.
Music-wise, try to add more songs, listening to the same loop over and over and over gets kind of annoying, even though the song itself is nice. Play through more songs.
Another point, for lives, make red circles with shading and a black circle around them, or some type of token as your lives left. The girl moving around is kind of weird to be in a lives box.
Maybe make the character faster too, and possibly make something that boosts speed, and makes like a blue streak behind the character as she runs or something, a white shadow around her as an invincible powerup or something, I just think powerups would be a good addition.
Great submission for your first game.
Keep working on it!
