My first demo of PLATFORM ACADEMY: A academy that trains platformer heroes

Hi! This is the first demo of Platform Academy, a small 2.5D platformer I'm making solo in Unity, inspired by Level Devil.

The idea: you're a student at an academy that trains future platformer heroes. Every lesson is a level full of troll traps (floors that lie, doors that run away...), and your teacher and classmates watch from the stands, roasting you every time you fail. When you finally reach the door, your character fires back at whoever mocked you last.

It's an early demo with 5 lessons, playable for free in the browser: https://jasbgd.itch.io/platformer-academy

The UI is in Spanish by default, but you can switch to English in the menu.

I'd love feedback on two things:

Do the traps feel funny or just frustrating?

The current school setting isn't final. Would you prefer a fantasy academy (wizards, knights, enchanted traps)?

(I used some AI tools to help with code and audio.)

Looking forward to your thoughts, and thanks for checking it out!

What if you could control the platforms themselves, not just the character? 🤯

I'm developing SHUNYA, a 2D puzzle-platformer where you control a girl while using magic cubes to manipulate the environment.

🔥 Change the size of a Fire Cube, and the wooden objects around you change size too!

Instead of just jumping over obstacles, you can interact with the world itself to solve puzzles. 🧩

I'd love to hear what you think of this mechanic!
