Not bad for a second game jam game!
A beautiful, emotional story with a meaningful moral and a touching ending. The ending did feel a bit long with the back-and-forth text, but it was impactful. The game itself was simple yet well-structured as a platformer with some action elements. Maybe some more light would have been handy, but I also made it without. Controls were good enough for me. Maybe some more challenge in the platforming itself would have been a nice addition or some extra actions.
The colors from the palette were used effectively, and the pixel art, even without a dedicated pixel artist, was done well. The music and sound effects perfectly matched the emotions of the game. The theme was also incorporated in a unique concept.
A solid jam entry—great work! 😊
