Wonderful submission for your first GWJ!
I loved the art and the great background music! I enjoyed the very well-written dialogue in the beginning. I died several times unfortunately and there are many more games to rate and review so I will not be able to experience the ending for now.
I would say suggest adding keyboard support (just using left and right keys or something) because the mouse was a little cumbersome to use in my opinion.
Litle note from my side to not claim false praise. I did not make the music but only picked songs that seemed fitting. The original creators are listed in the license file. Yeah I know the game is challenging. Propably not the best thing for a jam but thanks for giving it a try anyways! I can’t really imagine how a keyboard control would work, since the different strengths are needed at some places. An alternative way of controling could be a Gamepad with joysticks though.

Interesting. I cannot seem to figure this out. It’s not clear to me how I could control the “strength” of the jump.
On a related note, it would be nice if we could skip the initial dialogue because the player has to sit through it whenever they want to replay the game.
When you drag the line gets longer based on how long you drag. This has an influence on your jump strength. Thinking about it do you use an hdpi monitor? Could be that this is broken with high resolutions.
If you want to replay it for the gameplay that is what timed mode is made fo. And in theory the game should save that you read the initial dialogue (or did you use the reset progress button?). But yes in generall skipping dialogues is a thing that I will propably add in a postjam version.

The triangle is always the same length no matter what happens for me. I am playing on a MacBook Pro.

Interesting. Timed mode is disabled for me. The “Reset Progress” button is also disabled for me. I think the game always assume I am starting with zero progress or something? I am launching the game from the itch app.
