This was my favorite entry so far! The pixel, the music and the level design are all almost flawless.

I say almost because well, the 2 blatant AI art I found kinda put all of the other art in check, which is a bummer. Some stretched pixels here and there. But other than that the art was good.

The music was good and it didnt feel repetitive even tho it was just one song. But we could do with more options.

And the level design is by far the most interesting part. It is not easy to make good metroid-brainias, but this is a good one! Reminds me a lot of animal well. Has a lot a charm and it feels good to play through it. The only thing that could be better is that some pieces of the level design are very trolly xD like having a very short edge after the screen changes so that it is almost impossible not to fall.

I wish there was a bonus, a prize or a different ending when getting all the jams.  :( Got them all but got nothing, or couldn't find it.

On the room with the boxes and platforms, if you don't make in time and the box falls on your head and pushes you inside the ground which soft locks the game. :(

Other than that this was a very pleasant entry! Cant give all 5 stars because of AI art. But you take the highest score so far!

I absolutely loved the framing and concept of this entry. Starting right next to the goal but not having the ability to reach it and then spending the rest of the game looking for a way back up was genius. I loved how the map powerup was framed as "monkey remember". This entry had a strong Animal Well vibe, and I enjoyed looking for the hidden gems (got all but one!).

The visuals and SFXs were nice though I wish the spikes were a bit more visible. I also wish there was a bit more "coyote time" for your jumps. I sometimes had trouble with the swing not triggering and some weird velocity when jumping out of a climb, but nothing too frustrating.

I must commend you for having moving blocks and platforms working as well as they do here, though I got stuck at some point and had to reload from my last save:

Overall it was a really strong entry, one that felt like a fully-fledged game, so congrats! ;)

Super level design. Took me 3 or 4 sessions to beat the game. The upgrades feel so organic and useful! I'm not sure if I was solving puzzles correctly or if I was brute forcing them or cheating. I got confused at a lot of points but that was mostly part of the experience.

The main criticism I have is the sound. The jump sound clips every time. At least in the web build. And the music loop wore thin pretty fast. Having the music come in and out, or only play in certain areas, would have been nicer. But everything else felt good. 

I would also like to highlight that I would never have beaten this game if it didn't save progress. It's not a rare feature but thanks for including that anyway.

Great entry. Solid, complete game. Graphics gave me a super Metroid feel. Liked the music. I didn't know Suno could do loopable music. Nice adherence to the theme. Loved seeing Godot used! I would really like to know how you do one-way platforms and allowing the player to drop through platforms.

I did not love the vine swinging. It prevented me from getting one of the dots because I just couldn't figure out how to not swing myself into the spikes. I wanted to like it, because I love the swinging in Super Metroid, but it just felt very punishing, even after it started feeling more comfortable. I feel like it would've felt better if the collision shapes were just a bit larger for when you could grab on.

I also hated that puzzle room. It was clever, but it was really annoying, and the skill level to solve it was a leap above anything else required in the game. It gave me a lot to think about, because I was thinking in my game, I should've put a build-up to the lock issue. I felt that another puzzle or two before that puzzle room to get the mechanics of riding blocks would've been good. Because it's the first pushing puzzle you encounter right after getting the push ability.

Still, overall fantastic entry.

Puts the FUN in funomenal! The only issues were the softlocking as mentioned in that one puzzle room (which felt great when I figured it out) and quality of life stuff that’s often hard to get in for jams, like fullscreen, pause and reload. Lots of great choices, like instant respawn and secret hinting and appropriate spike collision size. I love how you build up the basic skills, I love seeing nothing taken for granted! I had jump as an upgrade in the last MVM but you did it much better (same with Buckethead: Infinite). Keep up the good work!

Great game! The swing mechanic is really fun, and the art is pleasant to look at, each environment feel unique and the challenges in each rooms are enjoyable.

Also, I especially love the ability obtained screen, that was funny

A question though, I'm a bit unsure, but for the climb ability, can it only be used on the green wall? I can't seems to get it to work on the other walls.
