As much as I appreciate a good Metroidvania, this was just too sloppy to be enjoyable. :(

Good job. If you move left-right quickly on a platform there is a bug causing you to fall from it. The controls could be improved.
I couldn't really get anywhere in this. I seemed to fall through platforms down into 'the well', then from there i would fall through the floor out of the level entirely. =(
I took the web version down. the pc standalone version seems to show none of these issues (i suppose and i pray). thanks for letting me know of the bug :)
The platforming mechanics were solid on my run through, I didn't experience any of the falling through platforms that others have. All deaths were purely my fault. I liked the retaining abilities on death, that was a nice touch to make a death more bearable. It could have used some music though! Overall I enjoyed it.
Controls definitely need some tighting up, might want to raise player speed a bit. I also kept bouncing off walls and stuff, which occasionally made me fall several screens.
Great idea to get abilites while platforming the manipulate the enviorment. Colliders are really odd though
Sound, sound ... i want sound ... yarrrr ...
x-velocity is too low, a jump gets twice higher than longer, it's a bit frustrating...
The axes of humans at the level after the "punch up" technique ... are really too strong...
But I liked it. : )
Thanks for the game!
Well, nice metroidvania concept! But controls was little sloppy and level design which is main essence of metroidvania was... Boring. But, graphics were nice! (Main hero is pretty charming :D) All in all.. Solid entry, but could be better.
The overall idea was nice, but it was just so hard, I couldn't get much further than gaining the dig ability.
I enjoyed the humorous writing and the player is cute!
Neat game, though I felt like the movement was a bit slow. I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/mQTSmMf-zUY
