Brilliant! The music, visuals, and style are so good. Very well done.
Gameplay wise it was fun. Sometimes it would feel like i didn't have much control though, regarding altitude and if you have an engine sputter out at the wrong time.
Really like the way the fan looked, a nice mellow aesthetic. Music is great, creates a nice soothing feeling.
The cat reminds me of lbp.
The cogs that refresh your spin initially came off as sawblades to me which made me avoid them.
Great art and music.
Telling a visual novel through a puzzle like that is genius.
Really well done and polished.
I didn't like it when the level would tilt out of the camera.
pretty fun, something like a speedometer or a more zoomed out camera could be nice. You'd probably need more hazards if you did add those things though.
Nice idea and fun.
It feels like an open ended, collectathon, take on the escape sequences from ori or metriod.
The game plays well but it could do with of tuning to give it some extra juice.
Brilliant. Great art, sounds, and world. I love that cover image.
Only wish it was longer.
You could probably turn this into a real game. Brilliant!
Pretty funny concept, nice graphics, and well done flying physics.
My main gripe is that the camera feels pretty disorienting.
I was a bit confused, to how my butterflies guide the wind. Overall, this is a cool and unique idea.
Maybe, rubegoldberg inspired, puzzle elements could be an interesting direction to take this.
@shakedimus yeah, thanks.
Amazing.
Everything is really well done. The only gripe I have is that some levels felt too difficult, but maybe that's just me.
Nice graphics.

I'd say it's an interesting concept but it lends itself to timing, and from that waiting.
Which is not something most ppl are interested in, when playing platformers.
Really good. You could probably make this into a real game.
Something that I found annoying was how the camera would zoom in on the ball spawn every time you restart a level.
Pretty fun.
I'd say the music feels a bit off. Doesn't really match the intensity of jumping from rock to rock in a erupting volcano.
Really good and unique combat system.
Awesome graphics. Great music.
Some transition effects and sounds would help when switching from overworld to battle.
Good concept.
Maybe you could add different objects that fall the longer the game goes on.
The art is so nice. Such an original style.
Really cute and simple game. Graphics are very nice. Everything felt right.
If I had any gripes, I'd say it could improve in giving options for skill expression.
Brilliant atmosphere.
Some jump buffer would've been nice.
Great concept.
There could be a better narrative explanation for why boxes falling means you lose
Nice simple refreshing game. Alot of content.
Nice crisp, original art style.
Don't feel like I have much control over what happens.
Maybe if the blocks had a spawnpoint that moved around and you had to steer it a bit.
Awesome.
I'm surprised my computer was ok with this. Usually norton flags everything as a virus.
Amazing world building.
My main gripe is that there's not much benefit or affect from interacting with the characters you find.
That was pretty cool. I feel your front page doesn't do the game justice.
I had an anxious feeling while playing. It's as if you're in the dark and can barely see 2 feet in front of you. Cause you have to scour everything for glitch zones or risk falling into the abyss. Although I never lost much progress to falling by accident like that, thanks to your level design.
I'd say someway to view the glitch lands while in the normal world and vise versa would be nice.
@crotonyl-alcohol No I did use the cursor. What I meant by "someway to view the glitch lands" is a way to see the level geometry of the other side, by pressing a key or something.
So you would be able to see the platforms and walls of the glitch lands while still being in the normal world.
The reason for my anxious feeling was that I found it hard to be sure where a glitch zone was. It made me tip toe through the game as I wanted to slow down while searching for the glitch zones so I could focus. Otherwise, risk falling down.
@crotonyl-alcohol no I didn't think they way I felt was bad I just wanted to share my experience.
Really nice graphics and mood.
Didn't really know what i was supposed to be doing though.
I added a more in depth explanation of the charged jumping.

@gat
This is my friend's speed run. His time: 17.314
If the site isn't displaying it I've linked his and yours on the itch page.

@gat he's TitanMasher and he's beat sub 17, check the itch page.
@gat yeah that sucks, sub 17 is still insane though.
@gat congratulations
I've added an updated build, based on your feedback.
= New features:
There's a restart button (r).
Better explanations of controls.
The ability to punch using Lshift.
A small map update, remedying a leap of faith. This shouldn't affect the validity of any speedruns. It's out of the way of the route used.
The "feature" of no longer being able to use up as jump. The game doesn't control well if you do, so I'd like to force you to use space.
= Other stuff:
I would've added a charge indicator, but the code wouldn't work with me, in a way I liked.
A webgl build was another thing that should've been created. The way the art was imported made this not doable, not without redrawing or segmenting large portions of art.
I don't wanna spend too much time on the project, so I wasn't willing to get my hands dirty with these things. That's not to say I don't have intentions of expanding upon this idea, in the future.
I beat it! Nice graphics. Frustrating but intense.

I found it be pretty funny aswell.
I like the boat movement, wanted more frog action though.
Great amount of levels, nice art, reliably fun gameplay.
I would've liked to have the option of a camera that follows me instead of the on rails one. Maybe as a unlock at the end. It'd add some replay ability. There are high scores to chase, but I'm more of a speed run kinda guy.
Great. Good graphics and atmosphere.
Audio is also nice and satisfying.
I'd say the ammo mechanic incentivises gameplay were you want to avoid enemies more than attack them, so a dodge/dash would be nice.
Cool.
I'd say the game kinda lends itself to spamming a bit which takes away from the skill of the game.
funny take on theme.
gameplay doesn't really feel like procrastination though.
got to day 48, played twice, not sure how or if you can go further.
very visually appealing game, although i don't think the low poly life boat matches the style.
overall i liked it, my main gripe is that you use crashing wave sounds, but those are for beaches.
