This game was super fun and very well polished! My only gripe was with the camera. I think it should snap to the character, rather than (s)lerp to them. But overall, it was a great and well-designed game.

Cute little game! I enjoyed that. Your art style and SFX fit the theme and your game very well. Also enjoyed the wall jump mechanic, very cool! Maybe I'm just not good at infinite runner-style platformers, but I got so frustrated at my rabbit when he just ran off an edge that took me several attempts to reach, haha. Overall, good work!
Would appreciate it if you checked out my game as well!
Nice game, it really brings me back to my childhood.
The art is great and the concept is fun!
It might be just me but I feel that the camera range is too small, it was hard to know when to jump.
One button platformer, that’s a pretty neat take on less is more. I couldn’t seem to figure out the first level of world two. No matter how I timed my jumps going down that shoot I couldn’t land on the next part of the level :(
I like the overall feel of it. It actually "feels like a game" if that makes sense. A Jam entry usually feels like a prototype. It is too hard at some points, death isn't fun while the player isn't invested in the game, and the camera is definitely a problem, but it's fixable. Pretty nice little game.
This is one of my absolute favorites so far. Such a fantastic game! It's fast paced and really fun. It has very simple gameplay that matches the theme well and I enjoyed playing it. The mechanics feel so good and it has a great level of polish! Also great level design that's challenging but not too frustrating. Really fantastic work!
Good job on the art, feels really clean and pleasant to look at. I like the concept of having some of the movement out of your control; we thought of trying to implement that for our angry character to make it more thematic, but didn't have time.
Love pixel art themes in general, especially when combined with fluid animations like this! The Theme could be a bit of a stretch, but the level design and visuals truly make up for it. Well Done!
