Damn, this was hard! I always get super panicky once I get near the teleporter since I always screw up a few of my jumps and have very little time and jumps left.

Some thoughts: - The soundtrack is really good and fits the game well - The game never feels too hard - Missing a jump by a few pixels just to fall down all the way (for example in level 3) feels a bit unfair, maybe you could make the player bounce a little off the wall for a chance to save the jump

Solid entry, good job!

Quite fun game, I enjoyed the music and the slinging was fun. If you take to long on a level the music stops. Also, if you run out of jumps you just have to wait until the timer runs out which is annoying.

The audio is clearly a 5/5. The graphics are quite nice, but in any case much better than many other participants. And you really have fun playing!

The game is really cool and it's a nice idea. I had a little problem with collisions. Sometimes when I missed a jump I felt bored because the time between you jump and when you fall it's too long.

The music is great, and I really liked your art.

Congratulations

Nicely packaged game!

I love how the atmosphere came together and feels consistent between the theme, graphics, audio and gameplay. I especially liked the music and overall audio balance.

I found myself struggling with recovering after landing straight vertically after missing a ledge (I had to move away again, but small movements were hard to execute).

Perhaps a small amount of bounce on the character could help the player recover from these cases? It might also help get rid of the sliding effect that happens when landing almost horizontally (it tends to push you against a ledge as well).

Well done overall, good polish!

Very polished and nice game. The only thing that is missing is some kind of drag indicator the first time you play the game.

Nice setting! The art and the sound are really beautiful. Had some problems with the controls but was still fun playing. I really liked how you inserted a seperate layer for the background to create some kind of parallax effect.

Not sure what you have to sacrifice here... but that's just the theme.

The collisions are a bit wonky too. when you land on flat surface you slide a really long way before stopping - likely falling off the edge is some cases. And sometimes you clip a corner pixel and you get stopped dead in your tracks... which is more frustrating because collider corners are not perfectly aligned with graphics corners...

But other than this - a really nice little pysics puzzle.

Pretty well made. Collision could use some work. You nailed the graphics and sound. Cool game.

This game looks, feels and sounds very nice, but is just too hard.

Good graphics and audio.

A bit frustrating to hit any walls since then you always end up right next to them and it's hard to make the next jump, it might be better if there was a bit more bouncing back.

The camera is also too near, often you can't see where you need to land the next jump. The levels could be made more challenging if there was a wider view and the player didn't have to struggle with the walls and judging the jump strength as much.

I like the graphics and the Sounds. The physics are good implemented. I didn't finished the first level, cause i'm to bad with the controls. But the first level looks awesome! Good Work!

Love how this came together, really well done. Playing with physics is always a plus in itself, but the art and setting elevated it even more. Good stuff!

Really nice game the graphics and audio where great, I didn't really get how it fitted with the theme however.

Fun game and an instant "just one more try". Good level design also! Gfx and audio also top notch! Congrats! (the negatives, basically the same as have been given in other comments already :) )
