What was the most challenging part of making your entry?
The limited time combined with scope creep made it get out of hand.
What was the most fun part?
"Working on mechanics we haven't before", "Finally submitting it. I pulled an all-nighter!"

Thanks to everyone on our team that each contributed music, the level design, the character, and of course, the programming!

I love the little robot sprite. It could sell the game, alone. I like the idea of unlocking abilities as you progress. I did find that at the beginning I can press 2 to grapple and immediately press 5 to get double jump, which allows me to skip a lot of the course. Really great work for a jam!
I loved the Sword spin attack!!!
Dude this game is awesome it has really good mechanics and is a great idea for many other good games to come.
love it
i love side-grade!!!!!!!! 10/10 i love it i would sell my kids to this game YES !!!!!!!1!!1!!!!!!1!!
the game is very cute! i spent a very long time trying to get in the door at the end tho :(
Cute game!
This was a really cool idea! I love the main character and switching between abilities to progress was a lot of fun :) I do wish there was some feedback when you press a button to unlock a new power. Also I spent way to long trying to unlock the final door before realising it wasn't working :D I love the voice shouting out the power when you switch too. Great work!
Thank you so much for your feedback! On-screen feedback and patching the final door glitch were next on our list but unfortunately, we ran out of time. We do plan to continue this project after judging and will be sure to incorporate everyone's advice. Thank you so much for hosting a great Jam, and thanks for playing!
How do you press the button? CTRL makes you short. SPACE lets you jump. Left Mouse SWINGS SWORD! but I tried every letter on the keyboard (R = reset grrrr) and nothing seem to interact with it. This has a LOT of potential, just currently not really playable.
Unfortunately we had much bigger ambitions for this project, so the tutorial aspect really fell short. Standing on buttons unlocks the ability to press a key 1-5 to switch which power you're using. The first button unlocks '2', the Grapple power, which you can use Right Click on blue objects to zip to them. The rest should be self-explanatory, as each area unlocks another button for you to switch to a new ability until you reach the goal.
