The game is beautiful, it must not have been easy to make in such little time ! The two music tracks are very good and fit the climb of a giant turtle (adamantoise ?).

I only had two issues while playing ; first, the speed seems to depend on the camera's position, which means your jumps differ depending of the angle of the camera, but I suppose it is just a little hic in the code. The second one is that the fallzone that brings you back to the last checkpoint isn't readjusted at the height of the latter ; which means when you fall from, let's say the third area, you can fall on a platform from the first, it slows the pace of the game because you have to jump by yourself in the void to tp to the checkpoint and if you're really unlucky (as I was) you can fall... directly on a previous checkpoint, activating it ! I wonder if you were gonna implement checkpoints at first, considering the name of the game ? It would have made a rage game.

Anyway, those aren't big issues. To The Beginning is impressive and is a great submission. Congrats for your submission !

Great feedback, thank you! I did notice the camera issue but totally forgot to fix it after getting wrapped up in the many collision issues. I had also intended to implement a system that ordered the check points so you couldn’t accidentally go backwards but I guess this is the nature  of a jam! There is a button to  restart manually but there was also meant to be many more “reset zones” to help with that which didn’t quite make it in either. :D


Maybe I’ll end up doing some kind of postmortem of the development process but it was a lot of fun and I hope you enjoyed it!
