Movement -- especially jumping -- is working well and is fun, the abilities are a little bit hard to use (clicking with teleport only displayed a ray and nothing else really happened). The randomized spawn point of the Essence gave some replayability :)

I really like the main character! Personally, I think it would be a lot more fun if you could dash repeatedly really fast! Good job!

@belickim Thanks for your comment and feedback. Check out the updated version.

Cool game! Really liked the art on the main character and the movement felt smooth. Great work!

Double jumps and wallkicks? Sign me up. I love this game - very easy to jump into and understand, and the art style is great. I had a lot of fun trying to beat my score to unlock each ability.

the art and the movement, the reponsiveness, I love it!

This looks nice.

Great game! Very smooth movement, and lots of character animations makes the player character feel and look satisfying.

Cool idea! I felt like the RNG played a little bigger role in my success than I would have liked. One time when I started there were three enemies right above me firing away! Overall, the graphics were good and the movement and wall jumping felt fun. Good job!

A fun concept~ I like all of the art and the randomized spawns of various things in the game (portals, essence, etc)

minibobbo 2021-10-06 03:11

The controls were nice and responsive. The graphics were nicely done and easily communicated what they had to, so that was very nice.

I think that overall the random placement of the portals and the collectables both helped and hurt the game. There were times where a portal would just appear somewhere and the only real option for me was to just wait for it to disappear. I know that the game gets harder over time but I wasn't clear if that was based on the number of things collected or time.

Cool game! Traversal is fun and even if they are a bit tricky to get, the movement abilities are quite interesting. I like how the difficulty ramps up with the new types of projectiles.

(Edit: I think you should write somewhere that the player unlocks abilities with the num keys. It took me quite some time to figure that out.)

The platforming feels fantastic man. Ninjas are also always cool.

Fun platformer, patience ended up being key for me however it was really hard, I just wanted hop and dash around.

muros 2021-10-06 23:15

Nice platformer. I liked the idea of portals. The animation is good too. Mnk seems to be something cool from this game.

ursagames 2021-10-08 06:22

Great platforming mechanics! The portals were definitely challenging with the bullets all over the screen. Managed to get a score of 10, wasn't sure if there was a goal other than that. Them green portals are mean :D Teleporting was fun though! I did have a couple deaths from portals spawning in too close to me, but that's something that's hard to balance for people who just stand in one spot.

belickim 2021-10-08 10:29

@tulkas I've played the updated version and indeed it's much better now. I'm not sure what exactly changed, but inputs feel much snappier now, thanks for fixing it!

moonblast 2021-10-08 13:21

Amazing game but a little difficult.The double jump and the climb machanics suit the map well.Keep making games

kyrell 2021-10-08 14:09

Love the pixel art style! Solid Entry!

alex-chertilin 2021-10-08 14:16

It is so nice to play a game with character leveling! And great level design too. Only one life is hardcore

pwnzer 2021-10-10 17:18

I enjoyed the art and the mechanics of the game, the gameplay was both fun and at times frustrating but overall a very nice entry. I encountered a pretty funny bug though. After you are dead if you get hit by a portal's attack your body still gets pushed back. If it pushes you into an essence it still counts towards your final score so for me it went from 8 to 9 while I was already dead. I don't know if you have any intentions of updating your game after the jam but if you are, you might want that fixed lol

Really fun! I liked the character movement, and the upgrades really built on it. Solid visuals and design as well, and it had a good progression of challenge. When the green portals started popping up, I knew my time was limited. Very fun to play and a great entry!

ismael-rodriguez 2021-10-13 02:39

Cool game! The movement is good (jumping, double jump, wall jump), but also a little bit held back by the empty feeling level design and simple gameplay. It seems dash only works on the ground for me? I was hoping I could at least air dash left and right? Might be nice if dash was actually a full time sprint or spam-able for a speed boost. Dodging bullets was fun, and the game looks pretty good too (cool effects on the teleport skill). Good job!

Love your pixel art style, very nice !

I finally managed to finish the gameplays and uploaded the game session for this game. I hope you like it and that my comments can be understood as those most interested in enabling improvements to the project.

Thank you for requesting this gameplay!
