Wow, this is my favorite platformer on here. Great mechanic, perfect use of theme. I was struck by the visuals on the first level - neat lighting effects and shadows, and the coloring indicating where to go for the exit is great level design. Difficulty progression is also very good. And this is your first platformer? Great job on it!

Aww, thanks for the kind words! First platformer and first game, really, since I was a kid. (I made a small toy game for my sister's birthday recently as a gift to her.)
I'm glad the visuals landed! The lighting and shadows are great at hiding my beginner pixel art skills. 😅
I was really excited to play with the theme– I'm glad the progression felt good! There was a lot more I wanted to explore, for example growing to a size where you could walk on spikes or not be affected by predators, but I figured folks' time/focus would be limited in a jam.
Thanks again for the thoughtful comment.
