Interesting platformer, but so long without big changes :( In another way also like it :) Great job!

It is a very cute game, controls pretty well!

The only problem I had is very high amount of backtracking is necessary, I wish we could pick up more than 1 fruit.

Great game, loved the movement and controls. Sprites are also pretty cute. Only thing I don’t like is the way the “camera” moves to the next scene, I’ve never been fond of these kinds of cameras, but that’s a personal thing :P

yeah my wife also feels that way, she initially thought it was a bug or something. I just really wanted to try a different style of camera then just follow the player.

Neat game - old school camera to a bit to get use to - very cool

Here is a short post with future ideas, if people are interested in this being a full game. Wanted to post here for visibility during the Jam.

Very relaxing and organic experience. For me, everything looks great in the proposal. 

Congrats! I really enjoyed the game!

Ugh this is so great. The music, sprites, world, all of it feels very cohesive and just generally great together when played. The gameplay loop was satisfying, and you accomplished a sense of exploration in a relatively small space. Also, I'm a sucker for any game where you are shown love through a lil heart animation. Loved it.

Really liked the evolving system and the S + W to go even higher added a new play I haven’t experienced before at other platformer games. Well Done

Developer

it is inspired from mario bros 2 charged super jump. It came to me when my wife said the down key should do something like crouch.  It was nice to have a play tester on hand like her.

Really chill game! Love the platforming mechanics and the vibe of the game. Bonus points for being able to pet the monster.

Totally cute! I liked the atmosphere and simple but well made platforming. You made a game that's just nice to hang out in. Ver well done.

The gameplay is very fun and relaxing. I really enjoyed exploring the map and finding more fruit. The ending's also heartwarming. Great game!
