just a bunch of empty open space. This is a mistake i see a lot of new makecoders doing; dont just make a massive area with nothing in it and call it “open-world”! You need to put something in it, even if its just background tiles, that will encourage the player to keep exploring! And this error is made even worse by those who use single-color tiles; you cant even see if youre moving or not. Thankfully you didn’t do that. But you really should either make the space smaller or add more stuff to it, otherwise its just a whole bunch of nothing. Also, what are you supposed to even do in teh game. I looked at the code, and tehres an enemy… what does it do? Where even is it? Anyway, i do like the sprites and all, so maybe put them to good use. This is supposed to just be an honest review, and i dont want to offend or insult anyone. ---
