For version 1.1. There are a lot of spoilers. Get to know the game before you read.

It took 3 hours to complete the game. A small but well-crafted challenging platformer. After losing the first ten times, I couldn't believe how honest those defeats were. A high-quality soundtrack, graphics and level design dissuaded me from turning off the game in the first half hour. The checkpoint after the pit with the vine feels like a gift from God. After 2 hours and 3 attempts at the fire boss, I found a charging attack, with which I defeated him. During the passage of the first level, I learned to control the character and take damage so as not to fly into the pits, so the second level seemed much easier and was passed on the first attempt, including the boss (with a fire axe, you can not even dodge, but simply charge at the enemy). The second level gives new obstacles in the form of flying opponents on screens with ladders, and jumping robots, but they do not really require the player to learn something new. The city after the forest feels more like a respite. Allows the player to feel their progress.
I really expected that after passing the game there would be fanfare, they would show me some comic about how I saved the world, as if I was playing a ready-made commercial product, and not a game created in 10 days for gbjam.
In general, I am happy that I passed this game. The first game on this gamejam that aroused such interest. I hope that in the future there will be new levels and the ability to save the game. Added to the collection.

Thank you so much for the elaborate review! Also, so glad you stuck with it through the end. And yes, we definitely wanted a more epic ending, but as always, saved that till the last minute, so this is all we had time to make. With your encouragement, and that of others, we will definitely make a full game using this character and feel! :)
