Great work with this one. Super atmospheric with a cheerful vibe. The art is great and the world feels suitably mysterious with the labyrinth-like level design. 

My main critique would be the jumping controls. I messed around with it for a bit and I think the reason why it doesn't feel quite right is that the player loses its horizontal controls while jumping. Seems like horizontal velocity is only applied when the jump button is pressed (either on the ground or mid-air in a double jump). I think fixing this one thing to allow the player to control the direction of the character mid-air at all times would do wonders for making the game feel more responsive. 

Otherwise though this is a superb entry, and well deserving of a great rating. Well done team :)

The platformer is quite engaging. The overall atmosphere is very charming, thanks to the music and graphic design. The first thing I would work on is the platforming itself—at times, the character runs into invisible, unclear barriers. Visually, everything is great, but adding a parallax effect to the background could give the image more depth (just make sure to limit the vertical parallax). Overall, the result is quite inspiring, and the potential is clear. Great job!

Liked sound design, graphics and simplicity. 
But, sometimes air control stops working.

Very pretty looking game! Like the atmosphere a lot, and the kind of interconnected world. One thing for me, with this kind of platformer, is I like to have air control. So that I can still move left and right when I'm in the air. Makes it feel like I have more control. Could be just me, but in all good job!

Amazingly good art guys. I am really impressed by it!! 

Loving the forest vibe and the level design is really good!
