Short and very likable! I was really getting into it and liked the graphics! The simple color scheme works good and everything looks smooth and is nice to look at.

I felt very smart figuring out the game mechanics and had fun solving the small puzzles. The platforming was a little clunky at times but I didn't have a lot of trouble moving around and finding the way.

Great job on this jam!

Cool, short game!

The simplistic style fits the game well and the music is great. Puzzle solving was pretty fun and platforming was straightforward, although as @instantnoedel stated, it felt a *tiny* bit awkward sometimes.

Anyways, it's a nice short little game, I enjoyed it. The art at the end is also nice! :)

Good job!

The art and music are great and set quite a mood, my only wish was at the art at the end reflected the art in the game! But nonetheless, this was fun! Great work!

Solid short game! I really like your art style.
I agree with the aforementioned - the jumping was a little unusual, but since no harm was done by pressing space instead, it worked out fine.

Kinda anticlimatic ending and enemies design, but visual and animations, puzzles, balance is nice. Also confusing that enemies projectiles has the same color as MC ones.

Hey, thanks for the comments. We really appreciate that!

@dobrila @fingamer @instantnoedel could you please elaborate on what the problem was with platforming/controls?
I wish I could make this part better but I need to know what exactly was wrong :)

Great game!
The most outstanding things about it are its graphics and atmosphere, it is really well done!
One thing that could be good would be to add some kind of checkpoints to not have to re-do everything when you lose I think

I like the atmosphere and vibes quite a bit - the level design leans into the gameplay mechanics in the right ways, however, I do think some kind of checkpoint system would be nice; it's pretty unforgiving as is.

It would feel less frustrating if there was a dodge or crouch that helped you avoid the enemy projectile attacks but right now they happen in very narrow quarters and sometimes you just get really unlucky with no way to move out of the way - especially with the one right next to the spikes.

Nice work getting a solid platformer together in such a short time - can't wait to see what you do next!
