Well, that sounds fun!

Enter the magic well and try to reach the bottom... or whatever awaits you there.

Controls:

Use left and right arrow to move. Press down arrow to "dive", that is, go down and fast. Press up arrow to flap your arms, or if you have just hit an enemy, to boost your jump.

The game does not officially support gamepad, but if you happen to use it, yes, it works. The controls are otherwise the same, but press (A) button to flap your arms or boost your jump.

Holy crap, I really dig the art direction and it's goofiness! It took me a while to figure out that the optimal strategy was to keep floating for a while until I saw what was underneath for me to jump on.
Great job.

This game is deep, man. And pretty fun. Simple but challenging.

Your Artstyle is really good! Had fun playing the game, though i didn't manage to make it to 100%

Really cool art and great to see a range of different enemies with different behaviours. It's surprisingly tricky! Good work

The same happened to me in my dream when I was a kid. I rate this game 10/10.

Awesome job on the art! I was determined to finish it but after many attempts couldn't get past about 70% haha. The fact I wanted to keep playing is a very good sign! It's a bit like reverse Doodlejump.

Okay so I kinda rage quit cuz I died at 97%,.. twice... but here's my view. I loved the game! The art was really cute, the physics did its job, and the game was addicting to say the least. I like how absolutely all animals had their own quirks and movements and there were lots of them. Did I say how much I like the art?

The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the music. Honestly the art feels like it belongs to Yoshi's Island and the music just did not fit that. And maybe it's just a tad too difficult? But other than that 10/10

Love the art style it's very cute. The gameplay is simple and mechanics work really well, i like the controls were onscreen so you knew how to play without a tutorial. My only negative was the music, im not sure if it fits the mood of game.

Very good-looking game with a lot of polish. I wasn't expecting the ominous music.

Your animations and designs are fantastic. I couldn't stop flapping my arms just to watch those animations. Great job

This. Is. Gorgeous!

The music does a good job turning something that at first glance seems to be cute into something very ominous.

The flap/pound mechanics makes it stand out from your average fall-and-avoid-stuff game. Well done!

This aesthetic is fun. I need to try a couple more runs, can't get past 40%!

The artstyle is amazing, you got a few chuckles out of me whenever a new enemy appeared. The gameplay and sounds are very satisfying aswell. My only complaint is the music, I think it doesn't really fit the game, but honestly that's just me being picky.

10/10

This game is absolutely adorable! I love all the of the characters, so much personality. The mechanics are simple but very tight and very fun to control. The game is also very polished; I can see it be released on mobile with just some small tweaks. Amazing work!

Played a few dozen more times and only got as deep as 42% xD Those mines are cute but deadly!

I really like the game, god job! The art is really simple yet beautiful and effective. The controls are super intuitive and the ennemies are well design.

I don't have much more to say, honestly. I didn't manage to reach the bottom, I need some more training!
