This is a really solid game you have here! I appreciated the overall mechanic, but I found myself dying a lot of times which I think is intended. This unique mechanic requires a lot of trial and error, so I wonder if you can make the deaths less discouraging or somehow make them encouraging? The sound effects were a little loud, so my multiple deaths and run-throughs started to sound the same. Still, you have a very clever take on the theme and a very unique mechanic. Great job!

I really like the base concept of not seeing every part of the Jump'n'Run it's a very interesting take on that genre. But the sounds are to loud for my opinion a Menu to regulate them would have been amazing and some background music could've made it even better as well. Besides that very cool game and well done especially the pixel Art it looks amazing :P

The game is pretty neat and the art looks really good! But the main mechanic of not being able to see in some parts is pretty frustrating when i feel into a pit of spikes i wasnt able to see. The sound effects are fine but a bit of music whould of been nice to have but alas its a game jam, what else can you expect? Anyway pretty great game and if i had to give it a rating out of five i would give it a 3.5/5.

Solid game. The art is nice and the controls are responsive (although the movement is a bit slippery) and the concept itself is nice and simple. This is a great entry to the jam! Give my game a try too :)

Yep, It's a reference to the original Super Mario Bros. box art!

Very nice gameplay with smooth and responsive player controll. The art work and sound are also professionel.

Yeah, I admit that some levels are a bit unintuitive. Balance has never been my strong point, but I'll try to get better in the future!

Nice, couldn't get past level 6 though! I'm no good with timing jumps.

I enjoyed the variation and increasing difficulty of the levels and I like the art style!

I like the solution of the final level! No wonder you choose the same icon as in-game gold to represent the total amount of monolith, haha!

Nice work!
