This is an interesting puzzle platformer. I found the timing to be quite tight (some levels I had <1sec left), but I managed to finish all of the levels. I like the challenge of working out what combination of upgrades you need to use. I would have liked a couple more levels to further explore the concept. The hitboxes on the fire are a little too big I think, as they extend out from the tiles below, but overall I didn't have too much trouble with the controls. Nice music and sound effects. Good work!

Very well done! Fun game! Difficulty is a bit high though. Had to play a while to get used to it.

The graphics are pretty simple, but there's plenty of good game juice (particle effects, animation, etc.). The music isn't bad, but gets repetitive before long.

The overall design is very clever, and leads to interesting decisions. I do, however, think that the game should force the player to spend all upgrade points before each level can begin. I accidentally failed to spend all my points more than once, and that just meant an instant restart. :)

Very interesting and clever mechanics! The graphics is simple but nice to look at anyway. The music is good, but gets a bit repetitive. Probably a bit of work on the variety of sprites would make the game look even better.

Interesting puzzle game !

Sometimes very tough  unforgiving platfoming , but overall nice game.

This was really fun! I loved the puzzles. Balancing puzzle platformers can be difficult because you are trying to balance both skill and thinking. I found that I needed more time because if I missed a jump I would have to restart to test a combination of points. I think providing an extra 2-3 seconds on those difficult levels would provide the player a little more forgiveness in case they miss a jump. The only other thing I found was that the fire hitboxes seemed a bit big. They are probably accurate to the fire, but making them a bit smaller would lower the skill level necessary just a bit and give the player that tiny amount of forgiveness.

Other than those two things, this was an awesome entry! I had a lot of fun playing. Spreading out the points each level was a really good idea. The music matched the tone of the game really well and the puzzles definitely made me want to keep trying when I failed. This is a game I would definitely like to play more of if you decided to continue working on it beyond the jam. Awesome job!

This is a really well made puzzle game. The idea of distributing points like that was very unique.

I found some of the puzzles near the end almost impossible. They don't leave any room for error in your timing, because you don't even have a fraction of a second to spare.

I'm pretty sure the zoom issue you are having is that the aspect ratio is wrong on your Itch page. You can change it in the settings.

This is a solid entry! I thought I was going into a platform and got 100% puzzle game. It's a good idea, there's got to be a way to improve the messaging, or maybe just let me play it. I totally misunderstood the instructions (thinking it was more like a rogue like or something that gives you an upgrade and you spend it wherever you want, rather than spending the upgrades being the actual game). Cool idea

I like the overall idea and implementation, the graphics are really cute too :)

Overall a really solid entry for the Jam, congratulations !

Some feedback:

• The main BGM  get tiresome, so maybe reduce its volume or have a variety could be helpful.
• I think that the UX for the upgrades could be improved, maybe adding them on the center of the screen? 
• Work a little bit more on the character look and animations

Overall a really solid entry for the Jam, congratulations

I like your game! The theme and focus is realy visible in this one. I was stuck at level 3 (or 4?) where you had to jump over 3 fires. After a while I found out that I could distibute the points diffrently and then the level became very easy.

I think that the distibution of the points could be a bit more user-friendly. I had situations where I changed my mind, but I could not undo my choises. I had to start the level and press R.

The Graphics are cute and I like that there is music in this game. That is somnething my games is missing a lot of the time

Wowie, What A Cool Game, Never Expect Something Like That From This Theme And Focus, I More Expected Cooking Games ;P

Nice work on getting some interesting puzzles done! Solid game overall once I figured out how to spend points

I liked lots of the ideas in this. it was interesting to contemplate the levels and try to find the right mix. The loop between death and going again felt too restrictive, I was ready to go again when I died but the wait to get going was enough to invite me to stop playing after a while. Good game though, just in need of refinement

The artstyle is pretty cool and the puzzles are impressive you did an excellent job on this game a well deserved solid rating from me thank you for this amazing submission

The puzzles were very creative! The graphics could use some work though

It frustrated me at first because I forgot the tutorial right when the game started lol. Being able to spend your points on strength and jumping introduced more to the puzzles. I really liked how you made the player assume it should be done one way, but the real solution was to take the path less traveled. I wasn't nimble enough for the 10s level though :( Great jam!

really nice puzzle game :D some had me stumped and even more stumped when trying to execute them :)

Fun game! I really liked the points system. On the level with the 3 boxes though, I wasn't really sure how to complete it. I ended up putting all my points into jump height and jumping from the far left edge while my player was off screen. Was that the intended solution? Just curious!

The game is good! I really liked the little bop of the game and I really liked the mechanic. The only criticism is that I think the way the theme is implemented is looks superficial, but the subtle increase of difficulty on levels makes part of the theme as well. Other then that congrats bro, very cool.

The original music is quite nice on its own merit but I don't think it always fits the situation at hand, could do with having a more frantic feel to it.

the collision with the fire seemed a bit off, by which I mean I thought jumping after hitting the wall underneath a fire would be safe enough but collides on the way up even though the fire doesnt visually extend past that vertical line.

Presentation's quite nice, though there were times where I'd keep restarting the level knowing what upgrades I needed and the wall was still falling down behind the character by the time I was ready which caused a tiny bit of frustration, particularly when coupled with the tight time frames of the later levels themselves where even if you have the proper upgrades figured out a mis-input will cause a loss.
