Nice job, I really enjoyed how the character was moved by the mouse, it was clean movement! Yah, not really much else to say, it was really well made and nice job!

The graphics and animation is so good. Overall it was a fun game :)
I feel it would be better if it was more rewarding and fast paced.. Loads of potential to be a fun casual game!
Pretty fun game, could see myself lose the sense of time playing this. You could port this on mobile
i like the idea of trying to make the most with one simple mechanic!
I like the simple mechanics of the game. It could've done well with some variations in sound effects, gets a bit repetitive after some time. Overall a good effort! Wins full marks on simplicity
Interesting and Confusing game. I kept waiting for the ground crumbles to open up and they never did. also you can cheese the enemies from behind the wall if your in a pinch, still dunno what the sp+ actually does, thought it was speed increase, but I never noticed any. but still enjoyed trying to figure out "how to win" lol. After about 10 rounds I found the "right" hole.
haaaa, I read the comments and I feel like I've missed everything. ;-; Can you explain the game, I'm sorry. I just wandered around and randomly found a pit and it was the end.
I played for a good 10 minutes, but couldn't find how it matches to the theme of "failure is progress", did I miss something?
The music was quite good, controls a bit tacky, and the player feedback wasn't the best when attacking. But on the other end I quite enjoyed the simple visuals and being able to move around anywhere. keep it up :)
Nice game, loved the idea of figuring stuff out. The video you posted was very helpful.
One critique is I wish the enemies didn't build up so much health, but other than that, nice game!
I like how you slowly figure out more and more about the game with each try until you finally find the end. Solid game :)
Loved how you utilized this jam's theme so well and in a more unique way than I have seen thus far. Really gripping game loop too! :)
