Nice game! I enjoyed playing it very much. Game loading and running is very smooth and the level design is good but not tough to keep me play to The End.

Really really nice. Tight controls, thoughtful and challenging (but not punishing!) level design, fun little easter eggs. I also liked the indigo tint you added to the assets. It's a small thing, but it works and makes the visuals stand out from the other games that have used the same tile set. Well done!
It was a cool entry. It has nice challenges. My only difficulty was having dash on e. It made my hands feel funny and I was getting in the way of myself.
The graphics and dash animation were smooth and the player felt satisfying to play.
The fan past the springs spikes. Where do I begin.
The spikes combined with the springs and dash mechanic make for a really fun mechanic. With how it is set up, I found the challenge to be quite grueling personally, but the area specific spawn points made it easily re-doable.
I saw there was a point of interest by the fan only after I activated it, seeing the soon to disappear sign after I activated the fan. Dread filled me, knowing I would miss such a far-flung secret. How could I have missed it? It was right there on the map, and yet I had no idea until it was too late. All of the platforming, all of the deaths, only for my curiosity to be set ablaze right when freedom was finally in the mouse’s grasp.
I debated not going back through the spikes, remembering what pain they surely must have brought the little mouse who simply wished to escape the facility, but I really wanted to see the secret. The mouse’s desires for freedom, and all the joys that would surely bring, they could wait. I needed to find the last secret!
And so I went through the spikes again, and it was quite the challenge, but I would learn from the countless lives I lived before, remembering the spikes my pixelly little character endlessly fell to. Slowly I begun to hone my abilities. The mouse knew what I wanted them to do, growing more dexterous with each attempt. They knew their freedom, and more importantly my curiosity, was at stake. And eventually, I emerged once again by that fan, trembling with the excitement of finding that one last point of interest.
I climbed up the springs to the secret, thinking it would be something different from the likes of the pit of death and the dad-joke spider.
I was wrong.
5/5 (I really enjoyed this game!)
Enjoyed this quite a lot! The platforming feels smooth - particularly like the dash effect. I was wandering around a little before going down the platforming pits after getting primed by your death pit (I usually try to avoid subverting player expectations like that) and went to the right pit first, where the platforming ended up having a huge spike in difficulty, so that difficulty curve probaby could have been smoothed out a little bit with some extra checkpoints. (WASD did not work for me by the way, only arrow keys). Overall really enjoyed it, this game has a great vibe and feels great to play!
Instant 5☆ for the button sound. The dust was great too.
I love that the controls are partially customisable, I would've liked dash on shift though and closing the map could be the same button as opening it. Dash and wall jump work very well together but it's a little jank when you have to move from your rest position to use it.
Simple but quite a fun platformer. Loved the little touches and the not-death-hole. The jumps with spikes everywhere was quite a lot harder than the rest of the game. Nice job overall!
Nice little platformer with a good dash implementation. Well done!
Pressing Q to open map and B to close map is a bit unintuitive, Q should ideally open and close it like a toggle :]
Nice tutorial embedded into the game!
I like the level design and adding a dash mechanic is a great feature :] I would maybe expand upon the narrative more as it seems to be a pretty interesting concept!
i love it. Nice mechanics, not too easy, good looking, funny eastereggs. I could imagine this as a full game. Really great work! 5/5 in every aspect.
Very cool - I liked the use of the mechanics in the platforming elements - dashing through those spikes was very satisfying! The music was a bit quiet and I think that it needed some more sound effects. Also some more variation in the level design would be nice - the spiky part was excellent though, something more like that in other areas would be good. In 2 days though? Really good!
Really cool game, the dashing mechanic is pretty fun and I liked exploring to find some of the interesting things you added (i.e. the "NOT" a death pit was fun lol).
I thought some key choices were a bit weird, like Q and B to open and close the map, but it played really nicely regardless and I liked exploring your level. Great job!
Fun to play and explore ! :D
i also love the dash ability <3
E not working though :o i use V to dash ! :3
Overall, well made !
Sharp controls, nice gamefeel, interesting visual style. I like the monochrome color palette, it gave me kind of a game boy game feel. Nice job!!
Looks very cute with all the Blue XD - GDevelopment? was the firsttime seeing that in a Jam - felt sometimes a little floaty but the mechaniks and all I was remindet on a metroid vania :) cool game!
