Seems like jumping only works half the time, and I don't know why. I'm not sure why I go back a level sometimes.

AGH! Nope, can't play anymore.

I like the "picking up extra jumps" mechanic, but I simply cannot adjust to the feel of the jumping. The space bar isn't sensitive enough for it, waiting for the blue bar to come back isn't fun, and the fact that the sprite isn't always touching the ground means that it's really hard to judge where I am relative to the edge of a ledge.

Also, it's not clearly defined at one point an enemy will kill you. and the projectiles are too small to see most of the time. And redoing a level I've already done is not fun.

So what I'm saying is: expand on the jump collection mechanic, don't mess with the class gamefeel of platforming.

(oh, sold graphical style btw)

I had difficult time figuring out when you can jump. Not sure if there is a bug, the blue bar on the bottom left corner was not visible most of the time and I could not really figure out what it had to do with anything.

Otherwise it was quite fun, the sound design was perfect 48h combo design. The graphics worked well with the theme.

I thought the idea of limiting the jumps was good but it could've been executed better

Your Windows link gives a 404 page. (max bandwidth reached?)

Wouldn't run. I just got a window saying Ludum Dare 26.exe has stopped working.

Sadly I couldn't get this to run, shame it looks really cool.

Very good platformer, very retro. I enjoyed it for sure. Did not like that I died when I touched the edges of the screen, though. Good work!
