Really like the presentation, and the intro when the character wakes up and you see the interface loading in is an awesome detail, plus i like how you made this game like a full length "metroid escape sequence" just without the timer ^^

I suppose the level nums are on the top left, max i could reach was P0 (the 11th if i counted right) which takes me to my main issue, the difficulty is brutal :O some of these precision jumps are pixel perfect with a single tile wide landing spot O_o this was a bit much especially while having to manage the power level which can also overcharge.

Now with that said i still liked it ! Just needs a bit of tweaking i.m.o cause the rest is solid and there are quite a few levels for a jam game, not sure how much was left i didn't see, but yeah pretty cool regardless.

Well done :)

Thank you! The Metroid escape sequence was definitely a source of inspiration when it came to crafting a story for the game and central mechanic.

Correct, the levels are the top left and P0 is actually the last level (currently). I prioritized the book ends first, trying to make a "complete" game (for once... haha), then filled the gap between. 

The difficulty spike is stupid harsh, but I wanted to showcase the potential of all the elements in a final, controller-snapping level. The difficulty curve will definitely be more gradual—just ran out of time to make more levels. XD

There's still loads to fix/refine in the movement and collisions, level design, etc. I'm so glad you enjoyed it even with the hard edges. Thanks so much for playing and sharing your thoughts!

No problem, and i can see that, i'm a big metroid fan so that's the first thing that popped to mind when i started playing, to the point where i ran really fast through the first few screens before my dumb brain caught up and almost had me *who killed captain alex style* " why are you running ?" when i realised that there was no time limit and that i then understood that you could overcharge your energy :p

Haha... That's great! I considered having a countdown timer, but I thought it might be too harsh on top of everything else. Ultimately, I decided on a best time system for potential replay-ability. I'm glad the sense of urgency was still there.
