Gorgeous game design :O
Very nice and likeable main character,
you're putting an impressive amount of detail and craftmanship in there!
(did the survey some hours ago while stepping by,
and classifying those gifs was quite difficult ;)!)
wow, happy to see the improved and 'juicy'graphics, the change from the previous version is really impressive! May I ask you if you used some software (i.e. Spine/Spriter) to help you with animations?
I've completed the survey, hope it helps 
Very good, I like the character design
Here are some of those GIFs

It's really coming alive now! the difference between the early footage and now is really huge, the character seemed flat and lifeless and out place in the environment - now it looks really professional!
The bubble move looks very cool, a nice twist - this game looks like it could be suited greatly for Lets Players as well which bodes well for it's success.
I recently showed Spryke at my first Conference. It was Adelaide's Avcon 2016. The reaction was very positive. A lot of people loved the game (many adults, but many teenagers and kids too, which was nice to see). People said things like "really smooth controls", "I died a lot but it never felt like the game's fault" and "great graphics". I also did a couple of video interviews, and was mentioned on Please login to see this link. "Best of IGR" list.
Overall, I'd say that probably about 50-75 people played the game and really engaged with it. It was awesome watching a couple of friends spend 10 minutes replaying the same level over and over just to beat each others' times. And there were a couple of times people came back dragging a friend saying "you've gotta play this game!".
Of course, there were critical comments too (which is very useful), but it was mainly positive, which made me very happy. I think I'm managing to effectively translate my vision to the player now (which wasn't true in earlier playtests, where players often were confused or underwhelmed and played the game differently to how I'd intended).
One unfortunate, though perhaps not entirely surprising, thing was that over the 2-day event, plenty of people asked me what engine I used, but only 1 or 2 people had even heard of Clickteam Fusion. And this was in a room of Indie game developers, surrounded by avid game fans! Clickteam really need to get Fusion's profile up!

Hey mate, I downloaded your demo.. didn't get too far unfortunately because I bumped into a problem.
I have a USB Xbox One controller for my PC (not an Xbox 360 controller) and the right trigger to create the bubble doesn't seem to work. I just did a quick test with the right trigger in fusion (using the joystick 2 object) and it seems unresponsive.. might want to look into that.
One other random bit of feedback - there should be a way to go to the next level without having to go back to the menu!
Edit: using the xbox gamepad object, I've done more testing - it seems with this version of the pad at least, the triggers are not counted as buttons.. the only way to track whether or not they're being pressed is if you set a value eg:
always set value A "TriggerLeft( "XBOX Gamepad", 1 )"
always set value B "TriggerRight( "XBOX Gamepad", 1 )"
then, if either value is 100 you can confirm that the trigger has been pressed... is this the case with a regular xbox 360 controller as well? or does that recognize a trigger as a button press in Fusion?
My controller is wired, I have xinput1_3.dll in the directory. Windows 10 64 bit here..
The triggers are working perfectly in fusion in my own test mfa (just not as buttons, which you say is correct) so I'm pretty sure it's not the controller.
Here's some more weirdness.. no matter what I do, the right trigger will never perform the bubble move, but the left trigger will sporadically work.
If I've used just used the xbox gamepad to perform a jump, and use the left shift button on my keyboard, it won't work - but it will work consistently if I'm not using the controller at all and only use the keyboard to jump/bubble float.
I'm going to try this with drivers etc. and report back: Please login to see this link.
EDIT: just followed the steps, restarted my computer - and it works! works perfectly! I'll give it a proper play through tomorrow.
It might be handy to save that forum info for future reference (when you start making big sales on steam, you'll be ready!).. seems like it is some kind of driver issue..
yes that is strange. I'm on a relatively new, clean install of Windows 10 64bit.. so if I get that problem (and you have it too) then many other people might experience it.
I tested the shoulder triggers by using the joystick 2 object to measure each trigger - if I wasn't touching them they were both 0, if they were held down fully they were both 100, and the triggers seemed perfectly responsive everywhere in between.. so even before I installed the drivers, they were working correctly in my test .mfa but not in your game.
Perhaps you could make a simple test game in a blank new mfa (like left trigger moves player left, right trigger moves player right) see if the problem comes in when you build to .exe?
My bad, I wasn't using the joypad 2 object to measure the triggers, I was using the Xbox Gamepad object to measure the shoulders.. that object returns a value from 0 to 100 for each trigger.
I completed 12 levels I think.. it was fun! How many levels are you planning for the full release?
Random feedback:
- The laser guns on some levels that shoot bullets every few seconds - the audio should be based on distance, if the gun is far off screen you shouldn't be able to hear the lasers, the closer you get the louder it gets.
- Games like this benefit from a "restart level" menu button
- Speaking of the menu.. if you could make it actually pause, that'd be better but not really essential.
- Some areas of some levels are a little hard to read with what is an obstacle and what isn't.. this wasn't really an issue for me after I played the levels a few times, but at first I wasn't always sure what was what.
- On that point, some of the background moving objects (flying ships, the red one, I think I saw a blue one too) felt like they were going to hit me (like they weren't faded out in the background)
I recorded some of my gameplay. I made the video unlisted so it will only show up on this forum/with this link, not sure if you want gameplay out there yet or not, I'll take it down if you like, just thought you might like to see how someone else is playing your devious levels XD

The game is legit, keep it up! I can see it being a hit on Steam and with lets players / speed runners etc. An online best times board could be good too.
