The controls feel really smooth, and the level design it's both engaging and challening to travel across. I also loved the screaming death sound, lol
I really like this one. It's a very simple idea but it's well executed and very intuitive. I like the adaptive music.
Nicely done :)
Awesome project! It's a simple yet catchy idea with fun mechanics, and I love the fact that there isn't just one set path to follow to get to the end; you can choose different paths and still make it to the end. A couple tiny recommendations I would make is A) just a little end portal or something to indicate that it's safe to jump there, super small detail but still something that I think would be a nice touch. B) Definitely ambitious for the jam's timeframe, but if you continue this project it would be really cool to see some random map generation. Great work!
I like how simple and intuitive it is. The music is great. The sprites are simple but they communicates what's currently happening quite well. I especially like the transitions between stages; really cool.
I don't tend to play platformers because I'm bad at it haha but the game is simple enough that I can at least pass the first stage.
I think this is a fresh take on platformer games. I've never seen a game system like this before—dying if you fall for too long? Maybe falling from a great height causes a heart attack? It felt like playing a well-crafted chapter of a platformer game. The art and music are really great, too!
This is so amazing! I had lots of fun playing, but eventually the game bugged and I was stuck on a death loop lol ANYWAYS this does not makes the experience less entretaining and it is still an amazing entry to the jam!
Thanks for the reply. Usually when you revive and immediately start falling, you just need to attach yourself to wall and you can continue playing.
This is a great entree! I have pretty much nothing to complain about. It was extremely polished and had some awesome music.
I played this game for 30 minutes because I like it a lot. Very fluid controls, nice transitions between stages and a beautiful soundtrack. Congratulations!
I'm very glad you liked it.
Genuinely a really nice idea, had fun playing even though I had to restart twice because I kept getting respawned in a position where I would keep falling and die. The different worlds themselves also don't change anything, it could've been cool for the space world to have a bit less gravity for example. Either way, I think this is a really nice entry, art and sound are also good!

This game really is fun. It is such a simple idea but executed so well it was just fun to play. Controls feel very good, levels have a good difficulty and the music is also super nice! One of the best games of the jam ive played so far.
Good job!
Thank you for playing our game!
Maybe the best feeling game of the jam (at least so far for me).
Everithing is so polish it is extremelly likable. The sound design for falling is sooooooo good, the art is pleasing and the gameplay is relaxing. My few neatpicks are in the whole game looping after the last world, like it can be goood if the game was procedurally generated but without it feels like these loop on YT short or Tiktok (it is very minor don't worry).
HUGE congrats and I really want to point out the very nice feeling wall cling.
Maybe the theme is a little too absent on the gameplay, would have liked few lv gimmicks to avoid making the levels to similar.
But really these are minor thing you all did a spectacular job, great work !
Thank you for your detailed positive feedback! We are glad that you liked it.
A really great game! I really, really enjoyed the music, especially in the space stage. The gameplay is simple but very interesting and controlling the character feels really good. Good luck with your future projects!
Thanks for the feedback! Our team is glad you enjoyed it.
Really unique and interesting take on the genre. I thought the artwork was lovely too. Good to see a small team with clearly defined roles and clearly you all pulled your weight and did a great job!
Thanks for your feedback!
This one felt really nice to control.
From a metaphorical standpoint, the idea of descending to go back in time is pleasing.
Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it.
Hey, I've had SO MUCH FUN playing this, I'm not being ironic, it's a really easy to understand mechanic. I found out the music is absolutely cool and as a composer I must say that it is one of the best soundtracks I have heard in all of this gamejam. I've had some bugs, and I also think that the textures of the maps and their implementation weren't at their best, but apart from that I think the game is fantastic.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game and as the artist of the game I'm so sorry to hear you didn't like the textures, I would try to improve my art for the next one
Thanks for all the feedback :)
Easily the most enjoyable game I have played in this jam so far. It took me two runs to notice the levels are looping. Really great original idea. You could make a sellable game out of this idea. The music is neat.
Love to hear you enjoy the game, thanks for leaving a comment
