Really neat, I really like the jumping mechanics, it leads to this really satisfying loop of jumps, with the releasing in air to encourage a bit of precision.

The jump in this game is incredibly fun, with the precision power input coupled with the very real-feeling physics. The only complaint I have is that hitting the side of a platform just stops your X movement dead. It felt a bit off from a physics point of view, but also got a bit frustrating.
Other than that, I liked the graphics, and the character's animation is also really well done.
Overall, it's just a really fun and satisfying game. Well done!
It took me some time to get used to the controls, but it is a really enjoyable game. Gameplay-wise, very mistake I made feels fair. The levels are all unique and have their own twist to them. I especially liked how the new mechanics are introduced by making the player try it, rather than explicitly explaining it.
Fun game,
the visuals are nice. While they are really simple, they are greatly enhanced by the great colour pallete and the pixel based rotation of pill boy.
The gameplay and movement feels good - I overall like physics based plattformers, and a jump based on like this is right up my alley - once you get the hang on it, altough it's a bit frustrating, before you reach that point. Doesn't help that apparently this games difficulty curve is apparently a normal-distribution, meaning it gets harder at the start, but after like the 3rd/4th level it gets easier. Plus the collision is janky, especially those corners (I don't blame you corner collisions are extremely annoying to get right).
The limitation usage was pretty basic and could have been incorporated in a more intersting way, instead of the the end is death. With that being said I still like it.
The music is absolutely amazing, best part of the game. Whoever made it made the entire game a 11/10, I would be suprised if it didn't win 1st cause of the music alone (I'm joking ofc I played the whole game muted, so I don't have to hear the music :>)
Great Game :>
Cool game! The progression and level design is well thought out! Nice work!
Nice game!, it's hard but a lot of fun and satifying to play. The jump feels really good and i know that every bad jump was because i suck xD
The game is fun to play, looks nice and has some good music + sounds. Only thing is that it is a very weak narrative use the limitation as all you need to do is replace the death spikes with a finish to completely remove it. But besides that great work!
This game remind me to jump king and its super annoying game but fun. Nice work!
Hello! I liked it. Sound and Art are amazing. The controls aren't simple at all, and I don't have the strength to kill this cute pillow.
The size of the window is reeeeeally tinny and except for the control I have nothing to say.
Great job, have a great day.
It's pretty good, however the movement is a bit difficult for my liking.
