Nice! Being able to travel horizontally that freely makes for interesting level design possibilities. It makes you think more about what's off screen and try to work out how to get height where there's line of sight to where you want to end up. I like it!

Will you continue to develop the idea? I'd happily play more levels.

Loved it. Simple idea, nicely executed and some smart level design considering it's only one ability to work with. I'd definitely play more of this if you expanded upon it

Very nice game, the gameplay is simple, yet could produce lots of challenging possibilities, good use of the theme.

Hey this game is funny. Fist everything! Only jumping is anoying, took so long to climb stairs...

Yay, we mastered the big fist! :D Great concept and solid entry, would love to play more levels with this gameplay mechanic! The ones in the game are really well designed and the flying fist transformation makes for very cool challenges. Kind of reminds me of the ice floors in Chip's Cahllenge. Congratulations! :D

One of the most fun games I've played this jam. Really clever level design and a beautifully simple yet satisfying mechanic.

Good platformer with a very catchy music. Maybe jumping on the stairs slows down the gameplay a little too much. Morphing into the big fist is fun! Nice, enjoyable entry

Oh man. This is one of those games where I just wish there was more of it after finishing XD

I love the infinite-range horizontal dash attack mechanic. My only gripe is that enemies should do something a little more than just vanish when hit - like explode or something. XD

Haha, love the big fist technique! The music and pixel art was great. The UP arrow might be more intuitive for control purposes. Great job.

This game was really great. Lovely graphics, and a unique concept, creating a really cool puzzle/platformer. Would have been good to not be so easy to die and lose your progress, maybe do something like have 3 lives, and on losing a life reset position back to the start but keep your progress collecting rings? Loved the unique art styles per level.

Pretty goofy and fun. Jumping could be a bit better. Nice graphics and audio.

This is a really neat game mechanic. There is a lot of interesting level design possibilities with this. It's really fun to try and figure out how to horizontally position yourself to get the coins with the big fist. Great concept.

The concept is innovative but I am not a huge fan of the execution. There should be more levels with ideas really embracing the concept.

"The Big Fist" mechanic is damn cool, pretty hilarious to watch and nice polish on feedbacks when you take coins while dashing through theme. Pixel art graphics are nice to, audio fits the game pretty well and I also tink rotating coins is always a cool detail
