I have played this game before and I still love it! Simple rules, exciting gameplay, pixelled visuals and sounds. Congratulations on the 2nd place!
The gameplay was satisfying, and the art was really cute and worked surprisingly well for just two colors. I like that you added a speedrun timer, makes for great replay value. My only gripe is that the dash only works in-air, which was very confusing when I was testing the controls in the title screen. That was also really smart, to introduce them and let the player use them at the same time. Great game!
Really great game and a neat idea! Loved the visuals as well. Also, the movement controls are great.
The dash didn't work in some cases, and the game froze sometimes.
This game is great! I completed all the levels, I noticed that you can only dash while jumping, I don't know if it was intended that way, but I wanted to point it out, also in some levels where there are spikes, you can stand between them and thus not die without making a long jump, and in general, working with only two colors helped to focus on the effects and animations, which I really like, and the gameplay mechanics are also done at a good level and fit the theme
P.S. It happened that our games coincided with the style of two colors and platforming :)
Loved it!
I played it in windowed mode and the edges felt a bit weird and dashing from too close seems bugged, but otherwise it's amazing with great music.

If "They live in the walls" was a person XD
Real good game, simple but makes you engaged and entertained.
This game has a very good mechanic, but it’s a little confusing. For example, why can you only dash through bigger walls? And why can't you dash through a wall if you're standing right next to it? I’m sure with some more playtesting and a bit of tweaking, this could become a perfect little platformer game. Other than that, the visuals, although simple, are amazing 5/5 for that! I hope you’ll update this game after the jam and expand and fix some of the issues because it’s got a lot of potential.
I will surely expand the game as a full release if ever possible in the future! Thanks for playing my game and giving feedback though! I appreciate it!
The main wall phasing mechanic fun and the mechanic certainly fits the theme but I think it could have been used in more interesting ways. For the most part its just going up or down like a fancy ladder. It would have been fun if you could phase into smaller platforms and walls and maybe have to do some more tricky puzzle solving with it.
Overall short and sweet game that fits the theme and could be expanded upon.
I love the concept of your game! While figuring out how to clip through walls was a bit tricky and frustrating at times, the overall experience was really enjoyable.
I liked the visualization of the gamejam theme, as well as the animation and style of the game. Very good!
The player controller is quite satisfying and the visuals - with its super simple style - are quite clean. The one thing that I wish the game did more of was use the wall phasing mechanic a lot more. It's a really creative mechanic, but it wasn't used to create super unique levels. Otherwise, it's a pretty solid game, well done!
Good clean aesthetics and animation! I also totally agree with LowQualityRobin's point about the underutilized mechanic! I can certainly imagine this game expanding into something amazing! Keep up the good work!
This is a really good game! It took me moment to figure out how to clip out of bounds since you can't dash through walls while standing right next to them, but besides that it was a fun time the whole way through.
Amazing idea and use of the theme. I also loved the visuals.
I cannot stress enough how awesome of a concept going into the walls of a platformer is. I just wish it was leaned on a bit more in this game, since as it stands it's basically used as an elevator between traditional platforming sections.
Don't get me wrong, it's a really cool game regardless, but it was frustrating to see such a creative mechanic being underutilized.
I totally agree with this. Even though I had more time to spare to add more levels and other stuff that makes the game fun, I had to be quick about the development since most of my time were filled out by school schedules.
I can't really say enough good things about this game. The controls feel really satisfying. The gameplay fits the theme and takes precedence over everything else. The artstyle adds to the game rather than taking away from it.
really nice!
