Opening this up, I was really impressed by the visuals and the sound track. If there's a link to a copy of the soundtrack, I'd really love to have it. I think this game is very juicy but it gets disorienting, especially during the bounces. I'm assuming some filter/camera shake is added there and it's hard to keep my eyes focused on the character. As for the gameplay, it was pretty hard for me to understand or pick up on, I think a tutorial level or a help menu may have been good. However, I think this game shows a lot of promise and would love to see any updates. Congrats on finishing the game jam!

Thanks! Definitely wish I had been able to get a tutorial together. I 100% plan to keep working on it, I had so many ideas I couldn't do and really enjoy platformer level design.
On each jump there's quite a few effects - a vignette that focuses on the player, some chromatic aberration, particles, etc. but the two most disorienting are likely the screen shake and the camera rotation. I tried to keep things at a minimum where they didn't feel distracting but I think being able to turn off those two would be a great addition for the future. I also have some ideas on how to tweak the rotation to be a bit less swingy that I'll for sure revisit.
I linked asset credits on the game page, the specific song is here from this pack though :)
