I like the set-up on the menu screen and the core idea for the game feels interesting. I think with another mechanic of some sort and more levels, this could be quite interesting. Maybe there could be some platforming and some obstacles to jump over or navigate around?

I liked the concept and the gameplay. Gj on finishing solo. I stayed speedrunning the level but couldn't get 15 seconds left which was my goal. I'm sure you can figure out all this stuff by yourself but since you asked for feedback heres some ideas one could see themselves doing with more development time:
- would be cool to get gold, silver, bronze medal per level according to finishing time for ending & level screen
- perhaps timer at level start so it doesn't begin instantly,
- tweaks to jump height & speed & areas requiring jump, jumping off level fix
- what if camera was closer so it's harder to see where to go & more immersive being in the fog
Edit: I also liked the main menu & itch game page. Have a good one!
The user interface, controls, and camera feels good!
In terms of game completion, the game loop is there, main mechanics are there, but there isn't enough content to show the mechanics and systems in depth.
In terms of development, I would have allocated more time for mechanics and content, a single huge level with everything you would like to show, and less times into making the UI and Main Menu.
Good entry, keep on going!
Really interesting idea, we hope you continue making more levels after the Game Jam! :)
WOW!
A very interesting game that fits the theme and with great graphics!
Interesting demo! The fog level was short and sweet, though maybe if the forest was larger and had more rings, it would be more challenging in a fun way. There's potential in this idea for sure, would love to see you refine and improve it!
I like the idea but there was some visual problems on Safari so I switched to operagx and mostly fixed. I believe it caused by smoke particles.
Here is safari screenshot
The game was a very original and yet fun! Too bad the game is so short! If only it was expanded...
