I think you could make this into a full game if you wanted. I'd definitely play it!

Here's mine! Do let me know if you enjoyed it and definitely if you got stuck. So far I've been getting people stuck OR people say it's way too easy so I'm not certain, I need more data XD

Here's mine! It'd mean a lot if you left me some feedback. This is my first gamejam and hearing people's opinions has definitely been the best part :p

This is my first gamejam and I think my first actually complete project (although it would do well with some updates). Please let me know what you think!
Here's my game:

It's a little skill platformer made in about 8 hours from start to finish (only got the idea for it late into the week) and it's my first ever jam submission :D
Here's mine! It's a tight controlled platformer with a twist.

Alright this is crazy tight! I went for a similar thing (cube platformer with tight controls) but mine doesn't even compare. You really delivered on this one, I'd be very surprised if this didn't reach the top! I like the visuals, the little details, but definitely the selling point (for me) is the tight control.
DEGENATRON - A fast paced platformer with a twist: Jumping makes your jumps less powerful, while strangely leads to more control.
Here it is! I'll check yours out and probably stop promoting my game for the moment, think I've spammed a bit :(
Try it here and please let me know if you enjoyed it and rate :D

NICE! I think it's my favorite submission so far (partially because I'm nostalgic for this art style since the golden age of Newgrounds).
But besides nostalgia, I think the mechanic of staying locked onto the target is fitting, and the combat feels well rounded. One thing I think would've improved the experience is some sort of indication of progress in beating the boss.
Good luck in the Jam!

DEGENATRON
You're a red cube who wants to touch the light. Problem is, every time you jump, you become a little weaker.
I'm mostly looking for feedback. This is my first gamejam and it's been a bit of a trip building this :D

I'd really like some feedback on Degenatron. Built it in 8 hours today and I'm really curious if people have fun with it. https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprod-game-jam-3/rate/900136
Here goes Degenatron! Crisp platformer with tight controls and minimalist gameplay. When you jump, things happen. https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprod-game-jam-3/rate/900136
I like he concept a lot! I think this has a lot of potential for a full fledged game, at least I personally enjoy life sims and I don't think I've seen an action platformer take at one.
Btw, I kept running into a bug which makes my hunger and health 0 but doesn't end the game state. Can't tell you exactly how though.
Good luck in the Jam!
I reaaaally liked this one for a couple of reasons.
1. The gameplay is nice and predictable in a good way. One issue is that it can be pretty confusing initially, until you get the hang of the mechanics.
2. The visuals are great. Same goes for the sound.
3. The little details, like the floating particles and the crisp movement make it shine.
Also, I really agree with your choice for playable level selector, very old school.
Good luck in the Jam!
Sure thing! Here's mine: https://itch.io/jam/blackthornprod-game-jam-3/rate/900136 It's a platformer where jumping changes how your jump works!
Nice!
It's pretty cool to have not only the sword hitbox but the damage scale with how much you're swinging it. I went for a similar mechanic in tone (the more you jump the less height you achieve), so I think I understand where you were going with this.
If you want to expand on it, maybe experiment with a more standard control scheme for attacks, while keeping the scaling idea?
Good luck in the Jam!
