That's a really nice game ! The color palette,  and music are really pleasing, the controls are great and the level design well mastered.
All of this makes the game really pleasant and even the tricky parts where I died mutiple times weren't upseting of frustrating cause everything feel smooth, nice job !

Love the platforming, very tight controls great practices put into exercise when it comes to great feeling controls. I loved the coyote time, the squash and stretch, the jump SFX was very nice and plesent to hear and even felt great spamming (once ulimited jump was unlocked).... sadly I couldn't rememeber where the secret was so I spammed jump all the way into the sky hoping to hit a roof and follow that along... sadly I got lost and seemed to be falling for ever when i tried to return to the floor :D Loved the game!

haha a lot of people seem to get stuck falling infinitely. guess I should have put a floor somewhere

Solid metroidvania - lots of VVVVVV vibes! Maybe some more savepoints. Nice job!

The feeling of getting a jump power-up was great! I loved jumping around obstacles and finding the coins. Backtracking was fun, and the checkpoints were well placed. Great polish with the graphics, sound, and the way the text appeared!

yo awesome game! its very polished! the game managed to keep me entertained even after failing multiple jumps. the level was cleverly designed and the obstacles are challenging but fair. the consistency of checkpoints also make the game much more engaging instead of frustrating. couldnt find the secret tho :/ i didnt know i was supposed to jump above the sign lmao but still, really enjoyed it! it is, however, a really simple platformer. i think adding mechanics like wall jumping or controlling the height of your jump would spice things up. amazing job regardless!

Developer

you are right about the game being simple, i am working on a sequel with controlling jump height and way more different types of platforming challenges. i am also going to add a save system so that people who don't find the secrets can go back and look again without having to replay the whole game

Overall, a really good game. 

I really like how you implemented the limitation into the art style and I really like the concept, it's a really original way of adding exploration in a game, without the necessity of making a massive open-world game like most games these days do to create a feeling of success when finding new areas. Usually, I play these games for a short period of time and may not be entirely excited, but yours was relaxing and fun to play.

I am really looking forward to seeing more work from you!
