That effect for highlighting the surroundings is very nice crafted and feels like you can make a nice game out of it! it just needs bit depth :)

Reminds me of this small indie game called "INK". The mechanics are similar but it includes enemies that burst into ink and an ink splatter ability. It makes me wonder how this one would differentiate with the same core mechanic.
The platforming itself handles well and the ink mechanic works, but may be a bit small. The level design is a bit iffy since I found myself just jumping over everything until I reached the end of the screen/level/the camera wouldn't move anymore.
Great job, I do wonder if and how you'll end up expanding it!

Quest For Balance (Jam Ver.)Such a cool game! I think a weaker entry would have omitted the wall jump, but that wall jump so beautifully ties this game together and makes it an incredibly enjoyable time! An amazing concept that worked brilliantly, as every step I made had such a strong feeling of risk to it which is an exhilarating gameplay experience.
I think if you just added the right music and sound effects to this to really make the atmosphere shine, it would be absolutely perfect!

RPS Ultra AdventureGood idea, and it's beautiful !
Maybe it can be interesting to have some checkpoints, it can be frustrating when you die !

Specter SpookNice effects of the painting! I do think that it would be good if there was another way to show the way, maybe launching something to splash and paint the way ahead. And some kind of obstacle would be great too. I missed sounds and music on it. But it has a lot of potential!

Shadows of GrowthBest one I've tried so far! With a little tweaking to the controls and some sound this would be a very good game! <3

Ascension Of The FleshboundGood job, very innovative. Should go to freesound.org and add some SFX and maybe some background music.

One Bit Game Jam Space ShooterI wish the splatter effect was a little larger as I got lost a few times, but very unique and fun game. Potential for endless platforming fun.

StarcatcherCool concept! I was able to beat it after some time, but I still don't really understand the design of the level. Was it procedurally generated? Well done.

Quantum MinesweeperThat's actually a very fun and underrated game! You should edit your itch page yo have some kind of tutorial in the game description. This idea deserves better, never played a platformer like this
