Wow!!
This looks and sounds amazing, so nostalgic. The art style, sound design, and music were really knocked out of the park!
The spin attack felt bad to use though, and there were several times where I spun into a hippo but nothing happened because the hotboxes were too small. My only other complaint was that stages felt a little too long, and you didn't move on till the old one started to get a little tiring which hurt replayability.
Overall though, an excellent jam submission!! Really impressive, and practically a finished game already :)
