this was a long run. i first started this project when i was 13. i am now 17 with a job and school and i do activities like hip hop dance classes and going to the gym, but i still make time for my very first hobby

Nice and simple platformer!

Innovation – Basic gameplay, but still fun
Fun – I wish the jump was smarter, like if you tap the jump button it is a small jump and if you hold it you jump higher~ also you should stop movement for a second after dying~ I ran into a spike like 3 times in a row hehe
Graphics – Very nice and clear black and white art! I thought it was odd the main menu and thumbnail have color hehe, you should make those black and white too. The star background looked and moved great!
Audio – Simple and cool. Ambient sounds would help it feel alive, make some wind sounds. Also foot step and landing sounds are always nice in a platformer
Polish – Some particles could help it feel more alive~

Great job on the game! Please check out my game if you like Metroidvanias or platformers :D

I actually got stuck on this game and finished it. intriged by the coverart i was quite suprised. the art is super simple but fits the vibe perfectly. music was great! perfect amount of content. very responsive movement. imho the acceleration while airborne is a bit too high, felt the same as on ground. a slightly lower acceleration value in x axis might be worth to try out how it feels. overall great game. the only game i actually played till the end so far! thank you so much for sharing :)
