Finished the game! I didn’t have the problem of controls reversed because some controls are more used (most of the times you have to go right and jump, you never go left and you rarely slide) than others. Hitboxes are a bit unforgiving, but the game was doable and finished, and it’s a good thing for a game jam entry. Congratulations!

Cool game! Reversed controls lead to some tight platforming, and the slide feels really satisfying, but the controls feel slightly finicky at times, maybe making spike hitboxes and platforms slightly more lenient would help to reduce that feeling.. Overall, an enjoyable experience!

Awesome art ! The last level was a bit hard (and I wanted to go to the bottom left but I'm sure it's possible, I tried jump + dash and it doesn't really worked -for now-). Meanwhile, congrats, very cool !

With the controls being reversed, this can be a tough game. But we do love a tough game now and then. The difficulty isn't really gradual though, for example in my opinion level 3 is pretty easy compared to level 2 which should be the other way around. That's only a minor problem though. The art looks really good and the sfx are satisfying. The most satisfying thing is the slide though, I wish you had to slide more in the game because I love it. Overall a game well made, good job!

Weird, I actually found level 2 to be easier than level 3 but I guess that's just my personal experience.

Quite nice I liked the game design. Not much Creativity, But you still had the theme implemented, nice! The game audio, (while not made by the dev) is greatly chosen. But I think clicking on a button should make a sound not hovering them. That's your opinion tho.

Nice Art chosen.

Small critic though, I really don't like collision masks on the spikes.

Hmmm, that's weird the buttons should make a sound when clicked. I guess it's just a bug then
