Awesome game! I love the idea and the art feels perfect. The only thing I would've wished was different was the ability to be able to jump through platforms from underneath. The slippery movement felt weird at first, but it also added another level of difficulty meaning I did spend some extra time playing the game. Good job!

Very cute and fun! I liked the way the mechanics are introduced (e.g. with the stationary ghost at the beginning) and the gradual increase in challenge.

I did struggle a bit with the platforming, particularly at the end of the first level. The player's movement feels "slippery" and difficult to control, and it took me a while to get used to it.

This has a really good feel to it. The jump is good and the movement speed too! Combined with cute graphics and nice tune, it makes for an amazing game!

Great concept and fun to play. 

 The 3 steps at the end of the first level where SO hard to climb up, although that could just be me.

A small bug i came across though, if you walk backwards at the very beginning, the player sprite walks off screen and then disappears but you can still walk across the level if you try to go right.

Thanks a lot. The bug at the beginning comes from the fact that I messed up with the tileset and put a tile without collisions at that place so the player fall below the level. I think it is the only place where it happens.

This looks promising, but I think there's some issue with the jump. I can't even make it past the first obstacle, and my friends who tried it can't either. Imo this should be fixed even though it's passed deadline since it's breaking the game completely and we all want to play this cool-looking game :O

 Or am I just missing something? :P

I didn’t realized it was a bug for a long time because the bug was very strange (the jump height and the movement speed may change depending of the computer) It is now fixed however.
