This was a really cute game, loved the little love story. Collecting all the stickers was fun since I wanted to read the little memory dialogs. Enjoyed the platforming mechanics aside from a couple small complaints about the movement feeling odd. The wall jumps seemed a bit unpredictable and hard to do right, and I found myself stuck in the platforms you had to crouch to get down a few times if I didn't hold the button long enough. It's definitely great for what it is, really great work. Jealous my game wasn't this cute :)

Hey! Thanks for the kind words and great feedback. I definitely struggle a bit with making gravity feel good. I went for less floaty, but it probably adds downward force at an odd rate, making the wall jump and drop speed ramping sort of chaotic. I know what you mean about it feeling unpredictable. Like you mentioned on your game, I play tested so much that it became hard to feel how new players experienced it. As far as the cuteness goes, that was pretty much all my wife (jpfuzzerton). I did the SFX and music, but the cute art and story was 100% her. That’s awesome you got all the stickers! Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks ddrosler for playing and reviewing our game! We really wanted to put more into the story depth, but we didn't prioritize it high enough and it got rushed at the last minute. We're going to be more serious about story boarding for our next jam.
And I want to take a little responsibility for wacking out the jumping mechanics. Tutmo initially designed the levels to be flat boxes as platforms. Then, I decided to rework them to be more beveled on the edge (a weak attempt at creating a more organic rock-type look). After that, the colliders didn't seem to fit right any more because all of the platforms had varying levels of curved edge. This was another great lesson for us, and next time we'll get the art direction in place BEFORE the preliminary level design.
Really appreciate all of your feedback and I look forward to trying out your game!
