Hi! I've been working on a game called Distance for about a while now, and I recently posted a trailer on YouTube. Here's a little introduction on the game i'm working on:

Distance is an adventure platforming game focused on a young man searching for his brother. Though, little does he know there's more to it than that. Gameplay will be like a traditional platformer (walking, jumping, etc.), while also having some puzzle elements added (switches, time limits, etc.). The game will be relatively short, but sweet, and is meant to be a casual platformer. 

Anyway, I've been here for a while, and know that you guys always give honest feedback. I have the trailer linked, so you guys can check it out, and it would be great if you could leave some feedback saying what you think! The game, when released, will be a free-to-play game! So, I don't want you guys to think i'm trying to get any money from this! I would just like some feedback from the video! If you guys have any questions, i'll answer them! Thanks a lot!

It looks alright, but the gameplay doesn't look like anything new (but it could still be very good with the right level design, so I would make great level design the primary goal)

Thanks for the honest feedback! Yeah, the game's not meant to be anything more than a casual platformer. Though, i'm trying to add some things that could liven the gameplay a bit.

Cool beans dude. Would like to seem some of the puzzle elements.

My favorite part so far is the snow man.

Thanks! Yeah, i'm definitely planning on showing off some of the puzzles :D

Awesome! Nice to see you`re working on a game. You`re doing something I think many of us would like to do some day too... If you don`t mind me saying, the sprites look a bit lacking. Perhaps you can do some more tweaking with them?

Hmm, I'm no game developer, but some things I like to point out.

0:30
Sort of a nitpick, but the tall ledge is greyed out to show depth, but when I first saw it, I didn't think you could be able to jump on it.. It made me think of something like Mutant Mudds with a front and back, tricking me into thinking that they are not on the same plane.. it's more evident at around 0:33 (when paused)

0:39
Didn't really realize those jags were spike hazards.. could you possibly make it more obvious?

Those are my nitpicks, but it looks pretty nice! Keep it up!

Game is kind of missing some stuff. I think it needs a little more "flavor". Maybe you can add some curse words?

Instead of the elder brother waking up to "another day, another adventure" you could change it to "Another day, another... wait a second, where's my little brother?! That little shit went missing again!? I am going to find him and then I'm gonna castrate him twice!" or something.

When the elder brother meets that other guy in the vacant room that says something like: "Huh. You are looking for your brother I see." Maybe instead he could say something like: "I saw that little dildo walking around. He came here and stole all my furniture, the little prick. When you find him let me know so that I can come over and kick his balls until he passes out."

I saw some platforming there that wasn't very meaningful. Maybe you should add stuff to collect. I am thinking maybe you could pick up items that make reference to your ultimate goal of finding and castrating your little brother, fitting items like scissors, knives, machetes, etc. just for scoring points and having fun and exploration's sake. These items could be well hidden and add to the challenge and stuff.

I think the guy you play seriously needs a mustache and a Mohawk.

The snowman was way too scary, maybe you can change his eyes to blue instead of red. I almost closed the browser when the snowman came to life.

I liked the main theme song though.

There you go.

Yeah, the game has a very simplistic style at the moment, so i'll certainly be adding a little more detail further in development! Thanks for the great comment!

I don't think the cussing is right for the setting of the game. Although that's up to Ultravolt.
