A Powerful Message jam comments

Game is fun, jumping and trying to do trick "shots" to progress is satisfying, but there's not really a reason for the health bar... If you mess up you can fall pretty far, which is already quite the punishment and you don't take enough damage for it to even matter until about an hour of play time. I like the hold-to determine-power system, it's intuitive and fits the theme. The green bottoms meaning the terrain is impassible works well but might be too subtle. I love the art direction and the design of the little guy, I love the music, this is a great game that really weirdly reminds me of "Getting Over it" type games weirdly enough. (Haven't beaten it yet, might adjust my current score when I do)

I DID IT!!!!!!! By far the hardest game I've played for this jam, and I've played just over 200 now. Well done!

Wow, congratulations! 🥳 I was starting to think no one would have the patience to beat it. Thanks for playing it for so long. 😄

I really enjoyed the gameplay loop and the retro presentation! (It reminded me a lot of the Squid Jump minigame from Splatoon.)

I would like to see some checkpoints to make some falls less punishing. (I personally think there should be something once you reach the pink area.) As it stands, I had a blast, even if I couldn't finish it. :)

The design of the level seems very deliberately thought out. Shoutout to Finn!
