Not so fun when finding the last crystal at the second level as you need to concern your character's water level and warping cost some of it, so when I managed to jump higher, I gonna time the angle to hit the last crystal.

But I can see that there is story and with the music you used for this game to some sort of meeting the theme, and the water to replenish health is unique as well. Another nice platformer game in this game jam!

Pretty sure I had 22:49. Was going great up until crystal #7 where it's like.. Waayyyy above your head lol. All in all, was fun! I like how you had a parallax FG with close up objects, really clever. ^^

really liked this one, great job.
Took me a few tries for even the first levels ;)

This was a really fun 2d platformer. I liked how you provided multiple ways to move around. I love that right click mechanic. I would just try to memorize where the water was in the level and shoot the right click at it whenever my water was low. I would suggest making the water decrease much slower. The way I see it, the water should rise quicker than it lowers. Great submission though!

Pretty cool idea!

As some said before me, I wish dehydration would be a bit slower.

I was also a bit confused by the perspective starting from level 2. I had trouble discerning background and platforms.

Pretty nice game nonetheless, I also thank you for the controller support and I think I noticed you allowed jumping for a small window after leaving a platform which is always nice to see.

Nice game, great job.

I like the "Warp" mechanism, unfortunately, i played the browser version, it oftens happens to me that  the mouse leave the window and then when i shoot or warp i lost the focus.

Not a bad platformer! The art is certainly fun. I kind of wish the hydration wouldn't go down quite so fast, it made for an annoying timer at times.
