Testing, Attention Please

Solo Testing is something I've done almost exclusively, seeing as its only been me designing and playing this game so far. I've also been bug testing by myself. By which I mean accidentally being launched off screen in game and trying to prevent that from happening again by trying to recreate it.

Balance testing is something I don't really think I need to do because my game is that advanced as to have a bypass. Apparently I am my own most valuable Playtester. I could probably get some complete strangers to play my game by putting an ad on craigslist.

I would just like to say that I would be absolutely overjoyed if my game started 'making itself' because that would be a lot of stress off my back.

"Your game is not perfect." Yeah I'm well aware of that trust me.

Alpha Beta Soup

For my game right now, I'm surprised with how well it's going. I have a level laid out, and any level I design after that will have similar elements in design, maybe one or two things different.

I'm having a bit of trouble adding in a menu screen that will lead to the game, but it's not something I would say is an absolute difficulty for me.

I think I met my goals well enough. I created a character that can jump and move, I made a level that works well. I just need to make so he returns to the start when he falls off of the level.

I haven't managed to get the title screen animation where the Main character constantly walks up sets of stairs but I feel like that's a long term goal that I don't need to worry about right now.

I didn't have a screenshot available I hope this will do
