  • The potential is clearly there. Creativity is there. i can see the types of puzzles you implemented and there is room for growth as well. Gameplay was fine, but it felt very twitch. The character movement was maybe a little too fast. This caused me to die MANY MANY times haha. Theme interpretation is ok. Its not clear why the imp dighting the dark creatures, or why he needs to get to the next stages xD Polish was very good. The art used was very nice. As stated above, the controls would need some love. All in all a great submission!

Nice fun, polished game. Maybe a bit infuriating at times haha

I love the trident slam down mechanic! I'm awful at platformers but this was very cute and intuitive.

The game is really good. I love the art and game design. I had the few problems with the controls. It felt hard to control a bit, and I think the coliders are a bit too big because I died many times I touch the spikes even if i thouched them in one frame.

That fellow really needs to keep better track of that slime lol. Jokes aside, I loved the story, the controls felt responsive, but not too sensitive, the enemies were all unique, and each level took just the right amount of tries. I really, really enjoyed this one! Excellent game!

Really fun - At the very end, I jumped over the squiggle gate because I wanted to see what was over there.. Floated into infinity. Haha

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it :)

That floating to infinity thing is a bit of an oversight lmao, thanks for informing me about it!

Very cool short platformer. Maybe in some situations feels unfair but not annoying

This game is super polished and fun for only 3 days, I enjoyed seeing small details that most jam games neglect like parallax backgrounds, hit stop when bouncing on enemies, the music not starting over when you die, and more things like jump particles etc.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it

Really polished entry, loved the art and overall juice.  Not a huge fan of rage/precision platformers so only made it a few stages in, but everything looked super clean.  Great entry!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words :)
