Great stuff, feel for you losing your work half way through. Very impressed you got this in! Nicely executed. Alot of potential also.

A combat-based timer is an interesting wrinkle for an action platformer. Thanks for sharing and building!

The game is looking promising! Good job, I love the art style, I'm glad to see you finish in time!

love the potential this game has already!
some thoughts:
- swinging weapon felt satisfying, moving while swinging weapons feels good, gives full freedom but will be harder to polish in future updates. same will transition states, attack -> jump || jump -> attack || lock move when attacking
- some platforming additions may be necissary for future updates too but i'm sure that wasn't possible since you had such little time. e.g. coyote time, jump buffers, cutting jumps if player lets go too early, etc.

Super impressive entry, especially given the time. Really solid basic mechanics, and nice implementation of the background visuals and animations. Just needs a bit of polish on ui, controls, and movement, and you can easily expand this to a full game.

ROBO, I'm blown away!!! This would be impressive if this took you all jam, but the fact that this is a late recovery from a huge loss of work just leaves me speechless. I absolutely would play this game if you were to ever finish it! Great job, and I'm glad you've seen the light of GIT ;)
