A good (but frustrating) mechanic and a good progression where you first show concepts without the mirror and then gradually introduce more. I would really have appreciated a more consistent basic character controller. Now I felt the jump height and how well a jump was timed with me hitting the key, was a bit different from time to time, which creates a point of frustration in such a precision game. Also the mirror gate threw me out on the other side at a different distance different times, which made it hard to hit the moving platform. Still, nice job for a 48 h game jam. I struggled with making my own character controller, and it too has some inconsistencies... ;)

Hey, thank you for playing and for the feedback! Great point regarding the jump precision, I didn't even think about that, but yes, it can definitely lead to some frustration 😅

I enjoyed the level design, even if the reverse-controller sometimes makes me angry!

I hast found the ancient treasure!
Fun & simple little game, although it is quite tough at times, and I run into a few bug/inconsistencies with the "switch" gates, but I had a good time :)
