Really like bite sized platforming levels, super satisfying to just 'ready go' and shoot towards the goal. Liked the tileset as well!

I played to the end -- some of those later levels require some pretty precise positioning!

The controls were a little unusual. Even after reading the control scheme here, muscle memory kicked in and I tried to use Space to jump. 😆

I also think things are a bit quiet, and the game would feel a lot better with some simple sound effects and music. I've had a lot of success with the following:

- Generate simple sound effects: https://www.drpetter.se/project_sfxr.html - Write simple music loops: https://www.drpetter.se/project_musagi.html - Download CC0 sound effects: https://kenney.nl/assets?q=audio - Royalty-free music loops: https://soundimage.org/

My recommendation is to put placeholders from one of these places into the game as early as possible, so you don't end up with a silent entry. You can always replace them later!

Really cute game! The puzzles were pretty nice, the third level was pretty challenging. I would have loved some more levels!

I enjoyed your game, I liked the mechanics and that it wasn't too punishing. I would have played more levels which means the experience was enjoyable!

Nice simple game! Would love to see some coyote time as I had trouble running and jumping off of platforms. The floaty jump was also fairly annoying first, but I ended up liking it because it allowed for some interesting maneuvers in the later levels.

Good entry. I wish you did character art instead of the white square, as the rest of the art is great. As above, I would have played more levels too, but glad you did have a difficulty curve in there. Well done

Great pixel art, I like it. I wish there were more levels

Short but effective, a nice game for sure!

Decent number of bite sized levels, pretty nuanced control and level design and nice level art. Only thing is, I wish that there were more of it, great stuff!

Had fun, I wish you could do smaller jumps by holding jump for less time so you be more speedy, but overall you executed the levels very well. Good job!

Spot on with the theme. Level design followed a lot of platformer norms. Environment art is really good.

As others have mentioned; the controls scheme is a bit unusual. The controls are also fairly slow. The visuals are nothing special but I would have liked a bit more visual representation of what is dangerous and what is not. Other than that it is a solid little platformer. Good job!

Neat platformer, the tileset looks great! The core gameplay works well and has a nice progression of difficulty in the levels.

This is a super simple and okay little platformer. It could have used a bit more gameplay, but what is here is pretty good. Some sound/music would have been great.
