How does your game fit the theme?
The end of the level becomes the start of it and you have to go through it again (with a twist).
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, except the fonts we used, those are from Google Fonts.

First of all, the jump is broken and the full restart don't even work, you just respawn at the checkpoint. I was forced to go to the level select and chose the level I was currently at for that.
Thanks for the feedback. Could you explain what was the problem with jumping and which level didn't restart completely?
All of the levels don't restart completely, in fact when I started the game the levels didn't restarted at all.
That's strange, I checked and it seemed to work just fine. For the button controls: backspace only resets the level to the last touched checkpoint (which either means a complete restart or resetting to the second checkpoint) and the delete key restarts the level completely.
Wait you mean the key just above Backspace ?
Maybe, I don't know your keyboard layout but there should be "Delete" written on it.
OH MY GOD it's even worse now. Almost no one thinks about the delete key.
What do you mean? It doesn't really matter which key you map things to if it's stated somewhere in a list with the other controls. I chose backspace and delete for reset and restart because they are far away from both the A and D and left and right arrow keys which are used for movement so players won't accidentally press them while playing. This might have been a bit of an overkill but still... if people paid for their whole keyboard, why shouldn't they use their whole keyboard? :D
Also, you tried make it so you have to hold a button to jump, but when you release the button, you fall back down imediatly.
Yeah, so the players can control their jump height.
Your game fit the theme nicely. I found self finding levels too hard and others way too easy. Nice game overall.
Great job! This was a fun game! I really liked the concept and it fit the theme extremely well!
Cool Game! I feel like it would've been better if you didn't have to manually restart the level when you got stuck, but it was fun to play nonetheless.
That was pretty cool, there was a good amount of variety to the levels.
Even though the graphics are simple, pretty cool spin on the theme! Nice and very polished gameplay !
cool game! I liked the level design
Fun puzzles! The coyote time had me confused at first, but once I got that it was all good
Cool puzzle game, I would've liked some post processing tho. Try out my game please!
Wery nice game, really liked the level design
Simple but fun, very cool concept here. Nice work!
I enjoyed the game a lot! The idea of platforms disappearing, when you want to go back is great! I think I might have found a small bug, when I reach a checkpoint and have my double jump, and then use it and die. I reset without the double jump with me, but all in all great game!
Cool game, nice idea. The only bad thing was that the reset level work, but it was still good.
Very relaxing and patient game. Makes me feel good!
It is certainly a very relaxing game that with the simple graphics and the excellent soundtrack make everything nice to play.
Good job
Nice relaxing game, that fits the theme well. Nice addition of the timer too, really adds a whole new layer.

It's a clever concept that fits the theme perfectly. The graphics are simple but not ugly and I like the music a lot :). And I like that you somehow took the time to make plenty of levels. Definitely one of the better games I've seen so far!
The jumps with roof hits were frustrating, but other than that it was a well put together game!
The point of coyote time in a platformer is to make jumps more forgiving - making it so that the only way to make the jump is to be all the way off the platform before you hit the button defeats the object somewhat!
I love that you implemented the coyote jump! It makes platforming so much more satisfying. The aim of the game was quite simple and made for a fun platforming experience.
One thing I would say suggest is maybe adding a small tutorial at the start just to orient players as I had to figure out the aim of the game while playing.
Great submission!
