I liked the inversion of the typical power-up mechanic: picking up souls and becoming weaker is surprisingly fun. The final segment didn't quite stick to that (I'd have loved to see it take away something else, like moving on the ground or something), but it was more challenging than any other area, so it still worked.

One thing that was surprising was that the first challenge (the double-jump) was a lot harder for me than any other. I think this was due to the jump being based on key release rather than key press: getting the second jump to trigger at the peak of the first meant I had to release the space and re-press it before the key had fully risen (otherwise the time between press+release was too long). 

Since your comments sound like you'll be continuing to develop this further, I wish you the best of luck with it!

Hello to another dev team with siblings! o/ 

The game's got a lot of charm! The dialogue was all very cutesy and I liked the sound effects a lot. I very much enjoyed the mechanics and I think your level design was good. There were a few tricky spots that I had to try a few times to get through. 

I personally think this demo would have benefited from some enemies to jump on, but perhaps that's not what you were going for. 

Great work, would love to have you try our game as well! 

So this was really neat, I got to the end (I think) with the special soul but then it started flipping me backward if I landed anywhere. I started high-jumping and shift-ing in rapid order, and that got me moving but eventually zipped me right into a thick wall where, I assume, my character shall stay forever more and the world may be better off for it (given what had just happened, story-wise!). Anyway, this was cool lol. Also the 'Stay Inside' ceiling gave me a chuckle.

Sometimes the witch didn't jump or teleport even if there was nothing in the way, but other than that, the story was really good and it was a fun little game with each level building upon the last.

Good story and good idea, there are just some things to point out: 

• The character dosen 't flip or turn when you move to the left
• If you fall out of the map you just keep falling for ever
• And you can use the hover ability to fly anywhere you want so that is a bummer

I feel that if you tried to work on the game a bit after the jam you could see a major improvement of the game, but there is almost nothing (other than the story, which is great btw) to separate it from other games, all I am saying is that you should try to add a new cool mechanic that would change the game. Perhaps you can use the souls for something else, maybe make more of them and use them as extra lifes; they give you a bonus mechanic, but they disappear if you take damage or something like that. 

There is a lot to work with, just try to focus on the three main problems I told you about first. A great idea, just needs a bit of polishing.

I love the writing, it's silly but i think that is exactly what i like about it. The Ori-like "here you go now you can [double jump|jump super high|dash through walls]" is not that unique but executed pretty nice here i think. The music...we don't have to talk about that. Creating music for a game jam is awesome and this is no exception!

The flaws are maybe the controls, visual variety and physics (as already mentioned in other comments). I think it was not possible to jump when you were already running in any direction. And the jump had a small delay between pressing and actually jumping, which does not feel great in my opinion.

Other than that, i played it to the end and enjoyed it! Nice Job!

I really appreciate the storytelling. Weaving that into a  48 hour jam is to be commended.  I found it funny and charming. However, I think some tweaking with the physics is needed. If you can I would recommend having a series of really small projects: platformer, shooter click and drag puzzler ect that you can repurpose for each game jam so you don't have to wrestle with the physics every time you want to make a game.

Its good I had fun and enjoyed the experience of an average day in this witch's life.
