The game's visuals are great, I love how minimalistic and informative art is

The gameplay is very polished and genres mixed well, so it is pretty fun to play

Cool take on the theme: blending video game genres!

I was pretty sad when the car, which I collected cans for, run over me like I did nothing for it :( Haha.

Great game!

A lot of fun, a good mix of multiple elements. I really adore the graphics and sound. The tune is very catchy, great job! (I wasn't the best could only make it to Level 5)

Good work mixing platforming and match 3! Like the graphics and the music was also cozy!

Really good. The jumps are challenging enough, the “LUCKY” thing is really cool, the aesthetics are very nice and it ran smoothly in my low-end PC. Nailed it in the NES nostalgia with these sound effects.

I really like the visual style! Makes me wish there was merch to buy. I also wish I was better at the game but hey, you can't have it all. Nice job!

Took a little while to get the timing right on the jumps, but it's pretty fun and challenging. Audio and visuals are very nice!

I really like the combination of match 3 and platforming. Also the aesthetic is really clean and satisfying. Nice!

I agree with the comments that some minor tweaking to hitboxes could be made but otherwise that was a lot of fun. Feels a game that I could find at an arcade.

Wow! Really great game and A LOT of fun! The overall art / visual style is just great, and so is the gameplay! The game could need a quick tutorial or something similar but otherwise, it's perfect! Great job!

Would pay 1980s dollars to play on my Neat Electronic Sutffmachine.

This was so much fun dude. Loved the aesthetic and general gameplay. I felt the jump could have been a little higher or faster cus it seemed a little hard to judge if I'd hit a janitor or car in later levels since they were moving more faster. Also, the hitboxes for both of them could be a little more forgiving. None the less, this was a cool game. I got to level 5. I'ma try and get to a higher level

Dr. Mario meets a mini-platformer. Getting the coveted LUCKY as the 2nd car drove away was especially pleasing
