Congrats on 1st place!
Thank you!! Your game looked very fun but sadly I couldn't get anyone to play it with. I definitely want to try it out with someone some time though, congrats as well!
AMAZING GAME. Fantastic level design as well, reminded a lot of celeste, so well polished, the art was fasntastic, and so was animation, could be made into a full thing with a few more twists. Music would have made this perfect, but overwell down, loved the twist of dead bodies, implemented really well! Overall, Polished to perfection!!
Thank you, I'm very happy you enjoyed it! I'm a huge Celeste fan and I really wanted to make some music but sadly didn't have enough time. Again, I'm glad you liked the game, thanks for the kind words!
The game was good. It took me way too long to realize you can dash up ;-;. The art style was really pleasing and the puzzles were cool. Was very confused when the character turned to a box when I died the first time lol.
Overall, great game.
Hah, sorry for the confusion at the start, but I'm glad you liked it!
I didn't participate in the jam, but I tried this. Really great use of the limitation. Kudos!
Hah, thank you!
Great one! Nice work
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Awesome game! Really addicting, and very good use of the limitation! Cograts! :D
Thank you!

Great use of the limitation - pretty original mechanic with a wow effect when dying for the first time.
Would be nice to have an in-game note that the player can dash on both axes, not only left and right. Almost stuck on the 3rd level because of it.
Could you, please, play and rate my game too? Thank you in advance!
Thank you! I didn't want to include a tutorial or anything like that in the game but I definitely could've shown that to the player, so my apologies on that.
As for your game, I'll be sure to check it out!
My favorite of the games from this jam so far, it nailed everything except for the visual. Which to be fair look super clean, I'm just not the biggest fan of pixel art.
Thanks! I'm only real familiar with pixel art so I can't do any other type of art, but I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
