NowNamedNoodle!
Hey! I'm a 17-year-old aspiring game developer who aims to specialise in 3D and programming and this is the first game that I have ever developed. I'm currently a year 12 student that attends a creative arts school in London, safe to say that this is the best industry school in the country!
As this is only a prototype, you will expect many bugs, but I may come back to this project in the future to make it more enjoyable.
Huge thanks to my fellow trainees Gjin Lipa and Samiul Miah for the music tracks.
Feel free to leave constructive criticism below.

OMG THIS IS SO CUTE BRO!!! I LOVE THE POTENTIAL THIS GAME HAS!!!
The most annoying thing is, the camera moves with your mouse, and stays in one position. This makes it really hard to look at where you're going, and the camera will go through the walls, blocking your vision. Some areas are really dark too, but this creates a super nice effect in my opinion! Also, some of the walls need to be fixed too, because I walk through them a lot (mainly after the chase with the scary block thing).
The writings around the map are helpful and motivational! The "hints" could be written on some sort of sign, while Noodle's 'thoughts' could stay floating.
Speaking of the square, it must be changed to a different colour- anything that is not too dark. It was really hard to visualise it when the background is the same colour as the square! On the note of colours, I think it would be great to switch the black and white to another shade of colours, because it makes the game look super bleak and kind of scary. Maybe shades of blue would be nice, especially if Noodle was coloured yellow- would create a nice contrast!
The character design is SO CUTE. It would be really nice to give Noodle some sort of cute. goofy animation (maybe make it wriggle while walking/running, and spring when jumping). Please change Noodle's colour to something a little more colourful so it makes the protagonist stand out more from the black and white colour scheme of the game.
The music was great to- really fits the fun vibes of the game. I think Noodle and the scary square should have their own sounds too- maybe a funny "yipee" from Noodle every time they jump? The square could have a scary tune following it, or some grunts.
Adding character accessory collectibles around the map would be great too, and it would fit great with the super dark areas! Easter eggs included- you could reference your favourite games, songs, anything! I personally love exploring maps, whether they are big or small. You could add some obbies at the top of each room, since the ceiling seems super high.
Good luck on everything man! I am loving this game and I hope to see this become something big. Remember not to overwork yourself, and always have fun working on your projects! If you need any help for designs or anything else, I'm always happy to help! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH NOODLE <3
