How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
You are your own enemy in the sense that you have to bring your own checkpoints, if you're too greedy or arrogant you go back to the start. And you're the only one to blame for that.
Also you collect jams in a jar as collectables...

My personal favorite so far.
Making me blush
It gets funny when you accidentally place your checkpoint just a pixel before dying.
Nice mechanics too
once I understood that you can swing faster by holding the left or right keys while swinging, I changed from merely enjoying a good strategic platformer, to speed-running the pants off a partly cloudy sky faster than an F-22 Raptor.
The checkpoint system was ingenious, and I especially loved the last part of the game where the player really gets to fly.
23 minutes well enjoyed.
I couldn't finish before I had to go but I loved this game. Literally everything about this (except the controls threw me off with W being jump) but it was all so good! So much potential as a more fleshed out puzzle platform, using the checkpoints as puzzle elements to get to locked off place etc. Great job, keep doing what you're doing.
Took that into account, I changed the control scheme, it should now be more familiar.
And thank you that means a lot.
Awesome game! Loved the simple art, the music and the hook mecanic, also really liked the checkpoint implementation. Personally the only flaw on this game is the controllers, JUMP should be another button instead of UP, also put the checkpoint with space bar, not really intuitive, I'm used to jump with space bar so I end up putting the checkpoint instead of jumping. Besides of that I think is game is awesome.
Yeah the control scheme was not something I expected people to criticize. I changed it to something I believe to be better.
And thank you, I think you're awesome too.
Honestly, this is one of the best looking games in this Game Jam. Everything in your game is held to a certain standard : )
Very creativeee :3 I'm just terrible at it XD I died to a bee I think sdjfhjksfdk Congrats \o/
Very fun game! Checkpoint system doesn't quite work, as the optimal strat is to just carry it to the end from start. Could be more fun if dying with a checkpoint brought it back to the other checkopint.
Not quite 'cause you could abuse it in certain ways.
But you did give me an idea! Yeah I could do what you said but just only if they fall after the other checkpoint.
