Very charming! I found the jump a little hard to get used to, but I eventually beat the game. I like the story :)

I feel the theme was in story alone and in the game I didn't really feel like I was sacrificing anyone. The bubbles pop quite quickly. I enjoyed the jumping sound. There were some situations where I couldn't jump, it seemed mainly I had to stop moving to jump. Also, when I do new game it doesn't bring me back to the beginning. The graphics were charming enough and there was a nice pop for the bubbles.

@nick-rafalski Thanks for the kind words! I actually wasted whole Saturday on jumping and collision detection without making anything, in the end, I couldn't make it work properly so I had to go for the subpar solution since I had only Sunday left and no assets XD

@dk5000p In my mind quick popping was to add a bit to the skill challenge, but it was adjusted based on my performance so I might have messed that up. About the sacrifice thing, the part of the idea was that by choosing to go for one person you sacrifice the other, but I didn't have enough time to convey that feeling properly. Also, I thought of difficulty level as a sacrifice, because if you go to save the person on the top side next level will be much easier than the one that's bellow. Thanks for playing the game!

Feels pretty good. Challenging and interesting. The jump sfx was blasting my brain though. Cool submission.

The controls and mechanics worked pretty well for me and the graphics are quite endearing! While the jump sound isn't my favorite, I was still glad to have some sound effects in the game. I also think it would have been nice to see you work the theme a bit more into the game play. Overall though, good work!

2D-Platforms tend to be very difficult and challenging, but i'll be nice if the difficult come naturally with the flow of the game. Congrats for the result, i hope you guys had some fun during the jam!

I like this charming platformer! However the controls didn't quite fit me though, had to play with my left hand. (I'm right handed) I likes the graphics, but agree that the jump sound could have been toned down a bit. Well done and congrats on the game!

Boing! Nice platformer. It took me a second to realize I had to jump on the bubbles. I tried a few times and then just kinda went right through them the first few times. Once I realized, it was all smooth sailing from there.

Fun idea, but it's way too short. Collisions feel suspisious at times. The story is cool.
