I read in a comment this was a rage platformer, but I actually loved how wrong that was. Just the balloon alone gives you the ability to stop momentum, which makes this so much more doable. I did not like how long it took to reset after I fell, especially because I needed to take my hands off the keyboard to get my mouse, click yes, and then continue playing. The polish is also insane, from the starting animation to the music and the visual clarity, it feels like you guys are a real dev studio just making a spiderjump game for fun as a weekend project.
Nice job!
Sidenote, this is really cute:

- What a fun game! I enjoyed playing it. During my playthrough I didn't encounter any bugs. The controls took some getting used to but once I understood it was good fun playing :) The mechanics with the rain and the ballon are a great idea and make it a bit more difficult, I liked it a lot! The fast jumping was a bit hard to control but it's managable. Well done on this game and keep making games!

As Mitzy the spider, jump your way to the top of the water spout. Use power-ups and your buddy Ray's sun powers to make your way through difficult platforming sections as varying forces of rain push you back. Be careful, don't fall into the running water and get swept away! You can make it!
"Mitzy Makes It" is a tricky platformer where you play as a quick-launching jumping spider with a simple, yet challenging control style. Enjoy original pixel art, along with moody visual effects and retro-inspired original music that synchronizes with changes in the weather.
