Wow! Amazing graphics, music and sound design. The difficulty was just right for me, but for some feedback: In the beginning i didn´t get the controls because the tutorial was kinda confusing with multiple keys for everything and junk. Other than that, great submission. Definetly something for the Top 100. Hope the feedback helped you, would be nice if you could check out my submission too. :)

Developer

The multiple control schemes are just for arrows/wasd support. sorry it was confusing.

Sweet little game! Simple mechanic used to create challenging levels. Art is perfect for this one! But i would expect more levels with higher difficulty with projectiles or some kind of time rush.

However I liked it a lot :)

What a lovely game this is! The vibe, the sound affects, and the puzzle design are all amazing. The level of polish is amazing given the timeframe. I'd absolutely love to play more of this if you decided to add more levels.

Developer

Thank you, and maybe someday I'll make a fully fleshed out game with more levels and mechanics.

Dude this game is so fun the pollish is amazing and it just feel so good

Outstanding game! the feel was perfect, the challenge was a perfectly steady increase, and the personality is the best i've played in the jam so far. The music fits perfectly. I just wish it was longer and possibly introduced new mechanics. Some ideas i have for new mechanics are wind, bouncing, bigger levels, balloons that pop on a timer, projectile spikes, and rain that makes you fall faster.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! I absolutely would have added most of those things given more time, but time was stretched thin as is.

totally! i think you should keep going! I would buy this on the switch

Developer

:o well, informing you now, I do plan on eventually releasing a game to the switch (if possible, if not, then on itch and steam), the main character of which is my profile picture (aka goat!). basically a platformer inspired by shovel knight and celeste. 

wow! two of the great contemporary platformers! what will it be called so I can look out for it?

Developer

no name as of yet.

Love the sounds, I would love to play a full game of this, all you need is a couple more things to grab onto!

love the sounds and the visual style so much! feels super fun to play. i could see this becoming a full game! i like the detail of how balloons pop on spikes.

I gotta say this was frustratingly fun, and I loved the art style. Good job!
