Nice, simple idea and good use of external assets. I thought I was softlocked and then came here and read some of the comments. Gave it another go. It's a fun mechanic but I think the teleport throw needs some more tweaking. I found trying to throw it onto high platforms pretty difficult and frustrating. Part of this could just come down to level design, though. Overall I think this is a great start.

Oh I see now, thanks for providing the GIF. That jump across that gap is actually intended to be impossible until you go back and get another powerup from a small area to the left of where the game started. I realize now that the jump does look like it could maybe be possible, so it's not clear what needs to be done. I think I'll put a note on the game page for now until I can update the game.
Great, thanks for giving it another go! You're right, it looks like I forgot to actually add a check in the code that you have the doorway powerup, lol. The game is supposed to be a metroidvania, but since my game is so linear up to that point I totally understand that needing to go way back isn't obvious. I was running out of time before the deadline to put more work into the level design, but for this genre especially I wish I had dedicated more time to it.
