Super cool little game.
A meaty platforming challenge, and the controls are sharp enough to carry it. Animation is spare, but the movements are juicy. Good music and sound effects, too. Really good game.
In the spirit of constructive criticism, I have two very minor suggestions. Firstly, the color palette is generally attractive, but I'm not a fan the dark blue blocks. They subtract from the clarity of the high-contrast presentation (since they belong to the foreground, but blend in more with the background), and waste a precious color to do so.
Secondly, while it's great that respawning after death is instantaneous and hassle-free, it would be nice to have at least a little bit of audio or visual feedback when the player dies. (E.g., sweat drops emitting from the player, or a little chime.)
Great feedback, glad you liked the game! You know, I totally planned on adding a death animation but it completely slipped my mind.
Hey there I was doing feedback on stream and played your entry! Here is the recording
Really cool. So simple but so funny. I would like more checkpoints so it's less frustrating haha
Very cool game. The controls are responsive and the jump is juicy. I think I got stuck in the air or something when looking for the secrets but I liked that you could take different paths, like getting the compass before the third jump.
Definitely wasn't expecting to see a genre like Metroidvania in a jam, but this was really cool. I managed to beat it in 6 minutes, but I didn't have time to find the secrets. Really well made, all of the assets came together really nicely into a charming game. Great work!
Yo this was really cool. The controls were abit awkward, and it took me a while used to the 'holding down jump', but I managed to get all the coins!
Also i love all of the secrets ;)
Amazing though it starts off a bit slow it is an amazing game, ecpecialy for a jam. Keep up the good work

Super nice palette, really attractive
Cute little game ! A Metroidvania where the upgrades are your jump count is a neat idea for a jam ! My only real complaint is that sometimes it's hard to tell where you're going when falling.
Cool game !
I totally get that criticism, and one of my playtesters said that. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to solve it quickly.
adorable
Game looks really cool! I really liked the presentation here :_
I really enjoyed this game! I think it was a cool concept and very nice to play. The music was awesome too :)
I'll still have to find that bonus music though...
I loved it! The platforming was nice and easy to control, the sound design was great and I loved finding all the secrets! The gameplay was fun too - it was challenging, but once you got the hang of it it was real good. There were a couple of bugs, and the hitboxes felt a little off at times, but overall I really liked how this game played! Great job!
An entertaining, beautiful game with relaxing music, I liked the game
Very enjoyable game, such a simple concept but so well executed. Loved the secrets aswell ;)
Congratulations!
Really cool game!
I think that the art is beautiful, even though you only used 5 colors, I especially like the running animation. The sound effects and music are also well implemented and the overall gameplay is fun :D
Thank you so much for playing!
Hidden island / Bonus music did I miss something? :D
Really nice! And GOD please those die and retry keep killing our keyboard!
Keep like this!
Thank you for playing, if you would like to try again and find the bonus music, I'll give you a hint. Get infinite jumps and then head to the top of the right side of the island. You can only get there once you have beaten the game.
Yeah i got it the first run but thanks! Got the island developper too :)
