Well polished game. The mechanic works well with the controls. Nice job!

A nifty little game with a nice visual aesthetic and good sound effects! The juiciness of the animations works to the game's favour, and I loved the squishy jumping. Squash and stretch for the win. The music was neat and matched the feel of the game, too. Nice work! :D
Also, here's a bit of bad fan art for you:
This was a really cool way to handle the control switching theme I've been seeing around! I really liked the character, animations, and the handling felt good and responsive. There was a little portion where I was getting the wall jump and had issues switching because my other movement option kept bouncing back into me and there wasn't an easy way to cancel that. I also think I got softlocked here, since I can't go left and the wall jump doesn't reach past this pit, even if I use it so I get peak height. Either way, good game! I love that there are multiple ways to go, each checkpoint feels like its own self-contained puzzle and it's really impressive that ya'll designed this without some sort of level select screen or something. I like that it's all one continuous map!

Yes sadly that is a softlock I somehow overlooked. If you feel like completing it, I will publish a fixed version right after the jam ends.
But it is avoidable if you switch jump instead of left.
But more importantly, Thank you for this feedback, and I'm really glad you liked it!

I'm really sorry about you getting stuck, sadly I was really in a rush finishing the level, so some pesky soft-locks made in (The one you could only get out of by restarting the game.)
By the way, the solution would have been that you can wall jump up even on a single wall.
Thank you for playing nonetheless, it really makes me happy you liked it! :)
PS: If you are interested you could check out the game again after the jam, since I've already changed these, and got rid of a lot of bugs and soft-locks, but I cannot update it on the page, yet.

Thank you si much for the feedback!
Sadly I only realised there were some places you could get stuck - and you need to reboot the game - until after 1-2 hours of the submission deadline... I've already fixed some, but I cannot upload it...
Nonetheless, thank you for playing, even though you you had to reboot it! :)

Thank you so much for you kind words!
Although, I fell pretty embarrassed that those pesky soft-locks made it in. I thought I steered clear of them, but turns out, I did not...
The arrows had an underline to show which way it actually is, which was meant to solve this issue... But it wasn't as noticeable as I hoped it will be.
Once again thank you for all this feedback! And I was planning some other mechanics to use in the game, which are already more or less implemented, but I realized - even while planning - that I will not be able to add those to the game in such a short time (especially with polishing). I might come back to this and improve it.

Thank you so much!
But gosh, it was a close call! I finished the level 10 minutes before deadline! :D
Once again, thank you; and I will check out your game soon! (Actually it might be tomorrow, it's really late here.)
