The art is great, but the physics are a little strange. Would've liked to see the explosive barrel mechanics expanded.  Music and atmosphere are cool!

I like the teleportation arrow but, I found myself glitching through the paltforms a lot.   I think if you fixed the physics, it would be really good!

Yeah, I'm working on an updated version with more levels, fixed physics , and a better movement system.

Submitted

Awesome! Looking forward to it!

I had troubles understanding why I was doing some things (The last level wouldn't let me leave, unless I shot the diagonal lined box?), and the lack of platforming ledge forgiveness frustrated me quite a bit. One thing I've noticed is that dying isn't the same as resetting.

Regardless, I liked the music and the art! Great job!

Yeah, the new physics system I'm developing for the updated version I'm releasing in a few days. Should fix the movement and physics system.

An interesting game. The only thing I did not like is that you teleport to the red zone when you miss with the arrow.

Cool mechanic with the teleportation arrow! Unfortunately I couldn't pass the first bouncing block level, maybe check the difficult in that level so is easy the first time you encounter with that mechanic.

But the idea was great. 

Congrats for finishing the Jam!

I'm working on an updated version. With the physics and other things fixed.

Cool concept, can't get pass the bouncy block level. Am I missing something? Would love to continue playing!

Developer

An issue with this version of the game is I ran out of time so I ended up with only four levels. Also, sometimes shooting an arrow at the bouncy block when it comes back will hit the player which will rotate the arrow just enough so that it can't make it through the path. To avoid this you can jump after you send the arrow to the bouncy block. I'm working on an updated version of the game with more levels and this minor bug will be fixed in that version.

Nice, I'll come back to check it out!
