However, I think the lack of air control artificially makes the game more complicated. I’d like to know if this was a design choice or a code difficulty during the jam?
The visual and audio styles are very cohesive well done !

Thanks everyone for playing and for your kind words and feedback!
Looks like the player movement is quite contentious so to answer your question @aune, it was a design choice to not allow movement in the air. We initially did it by accident and then thought that actually is was kind of cool and might add a bit more uniqueness to the game.
We agree now though that we probably should have either made it a more traditional platformer and focused more on the radars, or we could have committed harder to the platforming part of the game and worked more on the level design and other aspects to make it less frustrating.
It was a good lesson to learn though so we very much appreciate the feedback :D
It's a lesson in simplicity, objectivity, fun, and originality.
I don't understand why it was so poorly rated.
Simple graphics, clean gameplay (even though I don't like not being able to move after jumping), clear objective, simple and totally functional music (and it fits perfectly with the simple art).
One of the games I most enjoyed playing at LD59. My imagination ran wild imagining this game on a much larger scale with more difficult mazes.
Congratulations to the whole team!!!

Well done regardless, very solid and complete game!
But other than that it's a very polished and has a lot of content for a jam game.
