Use of the limitation
The objective of my game is to reunite the demon with its soul. The demon's soul is represented by a glowing box that interacts with the player during cutscenes. The limitation was "All in a box", and since the soul encompasses the entire being, the demon is all in a box. Also, the game takes place in a confined vertical space, which is basically a bix box.

I enjoyed the art and the music! I think the jumping system felt a bit floaty, I wasn't in control much of the time. Some sort of jump power bar would help a lot to evaluate how high you need to jump.

I like your art style and the animation. I also like pressing the space bar to jump higher. I hope there could be more visualized information could tells me how much I have charged for jumping.

Pretty fun,

I like the music and the character design  
I hope there is a smoking hot babe at the top of the box.

Very nice art and effects, and enjoyed the charge up jump mechanic. 

Might be nice to be able to still move a little left or right while charging a jump as I felt like I'd want to run and jump.

Found that from the third screen up I fell to the first screen when I'd expect to fall to the second screen which felt unintuitive.

Wow, that's great for a first release! It looks good, nice music, and fun gameplay. I really love the animation of the character's eyes and hood lowering before the jump. I did notice a bug that the screen changes ended up where I could not see the player character. But apart from the bug, not smoothly scrolling the screen is an interesting design choice, and  I can see how it adds an element of surprise to the game, so I like that. Also, a safety net below the harder jumps would be nice, so you don't fall down too far, because I suck. Overal, great job!

I'm really digging this art style man, also the music is really chill. One thing that I ran into was that when I flipped the character sprite it kind of offsets a bit too much and caused me to have to readjust which was a little bit frustrating. Nice work on this game though, I enjoyed it.
