Really well polished platforming mechanics, well done. I like the art style as well. I do not see the benefit of the looping mechanic here, and it seems to just add frustration for me. Increasing the time between attempts at a platforming challenge does not increase the challenge at all, but does make me dread failing. Overall great entry.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the theme could've used some more work. We were having trouble actually figuring out what exactly we wanted the game to be. We were trying to make the game as difficult as we could. I find satisfaction in games like that only if it's fair of course. But I see now that for a jam like this easier levels towards the beginning and maybe 1 hard level. Would've been better for us. I hope that you found it to be fair at least. Appreciate it!
I found it fair since you are setting and meeting expectations well, nothing unexpected happens and nothing happens to cause my failures that isnt’t my fault. I would just prefer a less punishing secondary loop. The structure and mechanics seem very similar to Celeste other than the checkpoints are further apart.
