very pretty graphics, but the fact that you can't hold left + jump to climb something is incredibly painful for my enjoyment

Love the graphics, but a challenging game! I included it in my Palette Jam 2 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

It starts with high difficulty causing it to be not fun.

And I'm stuck on first glass not knowing what to do to break it.

I had the same problems as the other players. The difficulty is way to high from the beginning on. Having no checkpoints made this worse and things like the blind jump are kind of mean to the player.

But I know - balancing a game in the short time of a game jam can be hard.

I really liked the art style, so cute ! I am not good at plateformer so it was a bit frustrating, and I couldnt go very far because I kept dying at the blind jump, or the time ran out x) But I really liked the idea of the multiple jump and the little turtoise are adorable. 

Sad to see you didn't get to finish your game, I quite like the art style you're going for, the game definitely felt a lot less sticky when i started using shift, but would've loved to see more levels, as i bet so do you, maybe do an update after ?

Good visuals, but as said before i don't feel like we have a lot of room to actually understand the games mechanics, maybe separating it in multiple levels and removing the time on the first one? Anyways, since you said on the game page that it isn't finished yet i wouldn't be too harsh on it, it still has a lot of potencial to be a really good game overall. Good Luck on your Journey!

Nice game. I really like your visuals !

The level design and player movements could have use some more polishing though.

There's a lot of points of frustrations.
Not being able to change your velocity or direction during jump can be a nice difficulty challenge but your current level don't really complement that. since it's a grid if you want to jump a block but are too close to it you'll just jump without moving. if you want to keep that restriction maybe consider changing the  level by putting more inclined and holes instead of  sticking to a grid and avoid stair shapes at all cost.

No checkpoint can be really harsh if you have a long level where you can hide easily. I would recomend adding one after each bubble.

The timer was really realy short. And I'm not sure it serves your gameplay a lot. Usually you put timer if you can zoom throught the level and want to put a chanllenge on it. here your level is hard enought that the timer feels more like a punition than a challenge.

Also be mindful to always put the destination in the player field of view when you ask him to jump. (just after the first bubble you cant se where you're suppose to land.)

Sliding to break glass feels very good and badass, but the first time you have to use it you end up straight into ennemies. which is not really an incentive tu use it again. It kinda kelt like I made a mistake by doing that.

All in all. The core gameplay is in there and the design looks really cool. It just need some refining & balancing. 

Good job on submiting :)
