love the art on this, especially the main character design! everything about this game is so put together and uniquely themed. i just wish i knew sooner that you had to hold the spacebar to jump longer lol

I enjoyed that a lot! I'm excited to see more, especially more levels to build on other things you need to avoid collecting as to not wake up the dragon.

Amazing art, animations and music! Sadly, the game is too short, I beated it in 1st attempt, but other people find it tough so I think that's okay! Great game overall!

Well rounded game in terms of style, art, animation and music.  Would have loved if the princess was a bit faster but really enjoyed the gameplay.

Instead of the LEGALLY DISTINCT JUMPMAN™ / hero, you play as the princess. Instead of collecting points, you don't

Fun, creative concept. Beautiful artstyle and art, great music. Love the pseudo GameBoy + 16-bit style in every aspect of this game

The jump-height is a tad bit too short, which is very important for a platformer

Very creative. Character movement feels a bit laggy but I love it.

Very cool art and I like how smart and fluid the camera is. Nice work!!

Nice platformer, the jump where tight.

Great job!

Great great game, the art and music works super well and the controls are just right (perhaps a bit more of acceleration?). The dragon felt super menacing when it opened the eye, great work!

Wow, I am speechless, probably the best game I've played yet.

The role-reversed theme is spot on, the game is gorgeous and its a very very fun platformer, would pay for it

Really nice game, I really liked the art and the nod towards other games. Only complaint is that the controls felt a little floaty, perhaps giving the character extra friction and mass would've fixed that.

Excellent submission! The art/animation and music are fantastic. This is a really fun take on the theme, and the level of polish is very impressive. I enjoyed playing the entire time!

Very cute art, and cheeky take on the mechanical theme. I only wish the controls were a little more responsive.

Art is awesome, heavy gameboy vibes with the audio and cute concept. Big congrats to the team!

I'm glad you got the Gameboy vibes :D I did the music and on my end, I tried to have a decent standard of fidelity related to the old Nintendo consoles capabilities

Music and sound does a big part in the feeling of "old school", so I'll sound like a broken record (badabum tss): well done!

Love the art!

Nicely done game. I love the color palette.

I love it all! Very creative to be the princess and the art was well put together. I can tell you put a lot of work into the visuals and music as well. Obviously it was quite short for a jam game and I would have loved to see the "mario" of that world added in too. The other thing was the difficulty on some of those jumps were brutal early on. Maybe a more ramped difficulty would be nice.

The art is really pretty!
