Thank for the submission. Hope you had a good time with this Jam.

Unfortunately, I got stuck very early on and there was no way to reset the stage so I cannot provide much constructive feedback.

Except that: 

• Never let the player drop onto a hazard (enemy, spikes) that they cannot see until after they start falling - it feels unfair. Be careful with this when designing levels :)
• The intro sequence felt a bit long and unnecessary. For example, entering and leaving a building just to see "a few minutes later" text. Maybe could have cut it down by having exposition on signs or other students in the cave as you play.
• As others have noted, I could not see the theme in this game and the pixel art was blurry due to compression.

Nice start, I think with a little bit more work this can be a really cool game to play. I like the opening scene with the credits. I whish I had some kind of restart button, got stuck a few times. (At the start of the icy cave moved the player to the left side, Jumped while under a plattform,...) . Else the Gameplay was fun and the Pixel art looked good, but I guess some compression problem, as it is not pixel perfect. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the theme in the game, but since I could only play Chapter 1, maybe the theme would have come up in later chapters.

Encountered a few bugs, but otherwise had a fun time with the game. Great job!
