The art looks great, a smoother movement system will definetely help.

Cool mechanics and overall a fun game. Looking forward for further version with the controller support you mentioned in the comments. *followed*

Love the idea. Felt a bit awkward for some reason. I think this would be awesome with controller support. Great job

Yeah I agree, I'd definitely like to add controller support after the jam but I wasn't able to get it working. I think that would alleviate a lot of the control complaints.

Still pretty cool. Took me a bit to get the whole heart flies in an arc. I think cause the first time needing to use it, there was a ledge that stopped the arc early for me or something. I dig it. Overall pat yourself on the back for this as a job well done for 48 hours!

Great Game! I though level 5 was buggy, but it actually thought me how to beat the level in the end without me noticing. Well done! Like the music and art too.

Nice gameplay, and interesting take on the theme! The aesthetics support the gameplay well. The ability to respawn to your heart was a bit unintuitive which is why it took long for me to beat level 5, but I eventually understood it.

The core mechanics are great, The art and aesthetics are top notch! Not sure why but the game doesn't progress for me past level 4. I have the 5 nuggets but the door doesn't open. Anyway it seems that happens only to me. Good stuff

That's strange, I haven't seen anyone else have that issue, it must be a rare bug. Sorry about that but I'm glad you still liked it.

Cool mechanics, controls felt a bit frustrating to me on keyboard but maybe if I played for longer they would become more natural. Good presentation, and I feel like there's a lot of unique puzzle potential here.

Fun game, fantastic use of Jam theme. Particularly the Death mechanics allowing you to sacrifice your  shade body to get your heart further in the level. A great game mechanic that you makes you feel like you just found a great secret to skip puzzles, but in reality it's all intended!
