Excellent game! Very fun and challenging platforming. Controls were smooth and responsive. Only downside is no sound effects or music. Very cool use of the limitation as well.

Very fun game. I got stuck on some parts, and it is a shame there's no music. But overall it's fantastic!

The controls were very fluid and the level design was great! I think my favorite part was the big room gauntlet with the swinging axes. Interesting idea to reuse the same level with enemies and translations to the text. Something I learned from my platformer was that when you hold down jump and hit your head, your character for a moment is still "jumping" even though that's a bit unrealistic. I think I'll update my game to add a trigger on the head the forces the jump to end when my character hits his head. You could consider it a choice but I think it will make the game seem a little more polished. Great work!

The camera effects were just too good!

I liked the concept and setting of the gam, + the platformer mechanics were also good. 

In all I loved the game!

Cool Game.  The use of parallax looked very nice. Some of the platforming was  quite frustrating but the checkpoints helped a lot.

I've uploaded an update that fixes one-letter typo. It was a minor thing, bit a bit embarrassing.

Amazing game, I loved this.  Appreciate your attention to detail, like the great checkpoint placements and the camera smoothing.  The art is beautiful and the story was too, my only gripe is that I couldn't wait around to read some of the texts because of the spawning enemies.

I also think some sound effects and music would add a lot.  Overall though this submission stands out, I can tell you put a lot of care into this.  5 stars!

Thank you! I would've loved to add audio, and had some vague plans for it, but simply ran out of time...
