Really fun game, the fact that when you fall you don't lose is incredibly surprising and cool, you level design is good, hard but does not make you curse , well done especially with the time limitation !

Thank you very much! I am so glad to know that you enjoyed it.

I like the art style, it is easy on the eyes. This is definitely a game that would benefit from being able to control how much you jump by holding up though, assome jumps are very narrow for how much your character likes to slide. It is doable though, not too bad
General idea is kinda neat and I enjoyed doing few attempts exploring the area

Thank you very much! It originally did have a variable jump, but I wanted to make the game emulate the old, early 1980s platformers that it is inspired by a bit closer (without emulating it too closely, since games like Jet Set Willy did not allow you to control your jump trajectory at all). I will, however, be adding variable jump heights to a planned sequel of the game. 
Thank you very much for your positive feedback.

It was a great game that felt like a finished one! The most interesting thing about it, is the fact that some places are challenging to reach and we have to be carefull. The fun part is when you find out that falling into a pit doesn't mean death but instead means moving on another section, and it's really cool to discover what's hiding when we jump or fall! It was a very good surprise.

Very well done. :)

I think so far my highest overall rated game for the jam, very well done with a lot of interesting room designs and  solid overall concept. I like the background story element and it feels like a Spelunky-lite game. The changing music was a nice touch and the designs in the walls of the rooms spelling out words/drawings was really cool to see, an absolute banger of an entry.

IGN 10/10 - IT'S OKAY

  • + Gorgeous details
  • + Lots of rooms
  • - Too much water
  • - Too many rooms

Thank you so much for that! I really appreciate the kind words. I've been wanting to do a game like this for a while, so when this Jam gave me the opportunity, I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted to do. I'm very glad to know that people find it enjoyable. 

As for the too much water problem, I will definitely take a look at getting the temple drained. I did not notice the flooding. Thank you for pointing that out!

Very impressed with how polished this is for the amount content you fit in.

Love the whole aesthetic.  The music and sound effects are especially fabulous.
