I liked the sliding mechanics a lot. The animations were super smooth too. Very impressive for a game jam. I didn't quite get what was going on with the dryness at first, but with a few tries I got it.
Make the void beneath the map a different color than the map because it is hard to tell when there is a hole in the map. Other wise a good game. I think the random jump/pulse thing should have more of an effect because right now it can be totally circumvented by spamming jump.
Struggled with the controls for a minute until I noticed the control scheme hidden in the wall of text. Good idea, but the UI and instructions could use some polish.
Best game I've played for this jam yet. It nailed the unstable theme using such a novel mechanic. The fact that you are most unstable when you are most powerful is such a good side effect of the primary mechanic. Had to stop myself from playing.
Really good game! I didn't read any instructions or anything before playing and had no trouble learning how to play. It's my first time playing a game of this type, so it was a fun and novel experience.
The game has an impressive amount of polish, but it seems that is a product of having worked on it for a long time. Since this is a game jam and your kind of supposed to start from scratch, I'll rate it well on the fun but not so well on the mood and theme.
Apart from the game jam, though, it is a fun and well polished game. The controls were good, the UI was satisfying, and the progression was fun.
Great game! Had to stop myself from dumping too much time into it. The mechanics are great: I like how you have to be resourceful with your attacks if you want to go fast. The controls and visuals give it a nice arcade-like feel. The music also makes it feel like your traversing the depths of hell, or whatever cursed plane your on.
I liked the tutorial, the game mechanics, and the theme. The controls could use some work though: the sprint being bound to left mouse click hurt my soul. Great for a game jam though.

I only got to 8. Really fun game. I could play that all day. Really relaxing. I was playing it instead of doing work. Nice music too.

Nice game! I liked the omnidirectional attacks. The combat and the character design reminded me of Hollow Knight.
