- Awesome job, I am saving it to play more later when I have more time. Loved the little tongue-in-cheek 'dialogue' as you progressed. Movement felt "right" which is hard to nail I feel. It was predictable which is what you want. Platformers are tried and true, so the real question is how to make it really stand out in the long run. Good luck!

Tell us about your game!
In this 2D Platformer game you play as a wizard who stumbles upon a mysterious elixir that takes them to an alternate dimension. We tried to add multiple quality of life mechanics like Coyote Time, Jump Buffering, Various Jump Heights, and Faster Falling to avoid feeling "floaty".

A fun little platform game with a cute style and interesting inversion mechanic.
I did not have fun with the tight jump in the inverted level, where if you fail it, you land on spikes below (double fail)
Though that is just my opinion :) can imagine others not having issues with that.
Maybe also consider adding checkpoints, should allow you to make larger levels.
A good job on making a nice project.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback! That jump was an issue of not getting that level playtested before submitting it haha. I had played through it so many times with building the level and that combined with already knowing exactly how to make the jump since I designed it, made for a jump that ended up being way harder than I meant it to be. That is definitely a spot that I have had multiple people bring up and I plan on fixing it after the jam is done.
