I really like what you were going for and I think that the idea is pretty well executed here. I think that you could've done with making the jumps feel a bit lees floaty and have it so that you don't slide so much once you let go of the run button. It makes it feel like you're on ice all the time. I would also say that having lives is a little frustrating since I just have to redo everything if I fail too many times. But I like the sounds and overall great job on this!

Pretty good idea. But. Controls are too wobbly and difficulty spike from level one to level too are too hard. Advice for future crank difficulty from level to level gradually instead of jumping from a "walk in a park" to "welcome to hell I guess"

I was never able to complete the first level, I was missing 3 bounces from the wall to jump. I advise you to use character controls that are NOT based on a physical model when making a platformer. It is better to provide good control over the characters in such games. I would like to have a sound volume setting (but many jam games have this problem). But the idea itself is good and overall good work has been done!

P.S. I remembered that they usually do a double jump, and I was right and was able to go to the next levels. The game doesn't say that I can do this, so I didn't realize it right away. Also, I didn’t immediately realize that I could push off from walls, this is also worth mentioning in the game.

There should have been a text box at the bottom of the first level. It tells you how to move, that you can double jump and wall jump, that tiles will decay, how to get to the goal, and how to score points.

Anyways, thanks for trying my game!

Controls are a bitt too floaty and imprescice. Jumping is also weird, i only have a double jump, but I think there is wall jumping implemented, but its a bit weird, sometimes it doesnt work at all and sometimes it allows me to jump only once, sometimes it resets my double jump. Strange. Cool music dou :D

I was having trouble getting the wall jumping to be consistent and ran out of time to fix it. 

If you want to check out more music like I had in the game, go to GWriterStudio on YouTube, it was from was from their channel
