Great idea for the theme and special object! I couldn't figure out what the floating N and M meant in the first level, pressing them near the top grass didn't always work for me. I would recommend either writing out what the controls are in the game description or making the first place they're used much more forgiving (not requiring a timed jump as well).

This ended up being pretty fun once I read your comment about what the controls are supposed to do :)

It was a little confusing at first
Could't really figure out the controls at first, I managed to do it after some time, but didn't really know what to do in level 3
Also
Some coyote time for the player would be great!
Besides that, the theme implementation and the special object were well-made!

Thanks for the feedback, I wanted to make the game so that I didn't have to explain the controls so much, but I forgot that to do that I would have to make the initial stages easier, in the case of stage 3, there is only one way to get through, which is by climbing the third column (you can tie yourself to the single blocks on this path).

I didn't quite understand what coyote would be (my language is not English), but if it's to refer to a rope, then thanks for the idea.

You're welcome!
Coyote time is a term that is used to define a time that passes before not letting a player jump

If you are not touching the ground anymore you give the player 0.2 seconds to make the jump after you are not touching the ground!
So it feels more smooth!

I'm not sure I properly worked out the controls, so I couldn't get past the first level. I am probably missing something obvious, how do I do the "tie yourself up to climb"? I can only find the controls WAD to move and R resets me to the bottom left. I noticed there are M and N letters at the top but the M and N keys don't seem to do anything for me.

R - resets the level, N - makes you stick to the ground if you are under the grass, M - makes you climb up if you are holding onto the rope

Sorry for the level, it wasn't that simple to explain.

Thanks, I worked out the controls in the end :)
It wasn't that clear to start with which situations I should be pressing n and m in.
It wasn't for a while until I realised that it was when i was right underneath the grassy patches.
I got to the ending :)
This was a lot of fun.

I'll give it a rating.
Have you had time to check out my game yet?
