Super well done! Creative way to make a platformer, great idea to make the quit text a bad guy lol. The simple shape art looks great with your coloring and efftects! Great job submitting a polished game! Check out mine if you have time~
I really liked the way of approaching the theme of jam, one of the most creative games I tried. Very good work!
I got stuck right after glitching to squeeze through the wall; playing as text was interesting; but I wasn't sure what my goal was aside from trying to advance towards the right more - I think there was more to the game I just got jammed up.
Interesting Ideas! :)
But I think this needs a proper tutorial and some balancing of the difficulty.
Playing as a text is really creative. At some points players probably won't know what to do (for example the beginning without reading description, which is skipped by pretty big part of the players). Good idea and visuals!
I got stuck pretty early on but I liked the idea and style.
Good game! But you should add some music in this game...
I agree that the game has no music at all. I left the music/sfx as the last task and then my time went short :(
Did you manage to complete the game? At least did you reach the "fun" part with the wall climbing, wall jumping, double jumping, dashing? Thanks for playing!
First of all pls add sounds.. Great idea with achievements it is very creative and I got stuck at 2/3 part but could definitely work sth out. Oh and pls make sorter title
I like the color scheme and some visual effects, I think that the game needs some intructions at beginning. Nice work.
Oehm hard entry level :-) But fits the theme really well ;-)
Interesting idea, but you might want to add a proper tutorial. I was able to figure out how to detach some levels and made it to the part with the button. No clue how to use the glitch to get through the gap. I've tried to detach another letter so that I could fit through, but now I can't detach letters for some reason?
You just need to get the glitch and go through the gap fast. Just jump and go through as fast as you can
Like the thing with the letters !

Hey y'all! Did you read the warning part in the main page of the game. In order to start the game you need to press BACKSPACE 4 times. It's an unintentional bug that I didn't have time to fix and also not appearing on my computer (as you can see on the walkthrough video I've made).
Just press backspace 4 times. I hope you can get at least to the fun part where you can dash, wall climb, wall jump, double jump. Sorry for the annoying bug at the very beginning of the game.
What is happening!? :D
What do you mean? Did you read the WARNING part at the top of the page. You need to press BACKSPACE 4 times to start the game. Sorry about that. Did you manage to reach the fun part of the game - the wall climbing, dashing and double jumping?
It was very difficult to understand what was happening, a cool idea with achievements! Very creative approach to the game, I liked it!
Very interesting concept. Its like if the main menu was bugged. You probably could fix a few things, and add some more hints to controls but otherwise good game.
That was...definitely something !!
I had fun, art style was simple but effective, achievement system was coool and gameplay was okay !
As already stated by other comments, I was a bit lost at the beginning and I'm not yet sure I still understood everything but...it was great ! Take the stars !
wow, that was something weird hahaha
I was very confused, but after a couple of minutes I was starting to understand, and start fo feel like a misterious puzzle! I did went far, but it's was interesting
I think the central idea (of the start menu being the game) is pretty cool! I think it would have been helpful to have the instructions for how to play the game earlier, as I had to just press buttons on my keyboard until I figured out how to remove characters to even get to where those instructions were. I think there is an issue with configurations where all the letters are in a line (START and ST), as I couldn't seem to move or jump with them (which made starting the game pretty hard). Overall I think this is a cool idea and with a few tweaks could be even better!
Oh no! Did you read the WARNING part in the description? :( The game has some loading issues on some machines which prevent the QUIT enemies at the begining to hit the player.
The player should lose letters in the beginning. But the collision manager is loading before the Player Manager and there are some post-build null reference exceptions. I didn't have any time to fix it, because I had to re-build the whole game to see if the post-build exceptions are appearing (and I had to use another machine to test the dev build).
ST can't jump, the idea is to travel as far as you can with ST then lose a health to switch to jumpable character. Like only STA can attack.
Thanks for the feedback though. I really appreciate it.
Oh, I didn't see that! Yep that's exactly what happened to me then. Still really liked it!
Nice idea, but I found the game very unplayable. The beginning is very vague on what to do, and I couldn't get very far in it.
