Very good, but:-
  • As others have said, I think you should switch Jump and Pause buttons. Ctrl is awkward.
  • PLEASE make sure the music makes sense. For example, you used Weldar's theme in a boss battle with a termite in Mumbo's Mountain. I disagree with this because it's the theme specifically composed for Weldar, and it's a dramatic version of the Grunty Industries theme. Really you needed somebody to make a boss remix of Mumbo's Mountain. You might think this is picky, but it really isn't. It annoyed me. Kirkhope deliberately wrote themes for everyone - little musical motifs that came back for each person. Using that there was musically obnoxious. And that's just one example.
  • If you want things to be a bit more professional, fix all the spelling and grammar mistakes in the opening cutscene (and speech bubbles thereafter) and make sure all the sentences end in full stops (or 'periods' in America?). Most of the sentences at the end of the bubbles simply stopped without punctuation.

Other than that I enjoyed it - great job. For Chapter 2, I would change the font of the speech bubbles to something a bit bigger and more like the ones used in BK and BT.

But the sprites, the graphics, the speech bubble system...ASTOUNDING. Really brilliant. No idea how you did all that, seriously it's great

Agree with this. Think about how the characters would speak. None of the characters in the games previously have used words like 'ass', so there really is no reason to change their speech style. Those kinds of words are really unnecessary and, where you used them, added nothing to the impact of the speech at all.

I agree about the music thing, if I'm not wrong, ThatOneComposer would compose the boss themes, but he wasn't asked because of lack of time. Look at the comments between ThatOneComposer and BanjoThreeieChapters in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzBs2m2wGtg

Instead, I don't really care about the grammar because I'm italian, but if I was english I would really appreciate a correct language. I also don't care much about the controls. Otherwise, you could add a "custom control" thing.

But, I would remove that thing that if you exit from the game/level or you die, you have to restart the level. It's really annoying.

Based on his clues, we can think that Chapter 2 is in development.

Hey man, course I care! Ive been really busy this summer with travelling and parkour training ( http://youtu.be/sahc5_0r1jA ). I've just bought a flat too so I'll be moving out next week. Dont think I'll be able to afford internet for a while so...
Ill be training as much as possible for as long as the sun lasts so when it starts approaching winter then i'll start developent the next chapter.

In my opinion chapter 1 was shocking and embarrasing with the bugs ect so I've totally forgotten about it (as in im not trying to revive it with bug fixes and that).

I still scan the forum when i get the time so don't worry I havent buggered off haha
