How does your game fit the theme?
It fits the theme because it's about a person experiencing anxiety over making a jump. He imagines, "What if I fall?", and then creates a whole sequence of tragic events ranging from being chased by a bear to being attacked by a group of boars. But then he wakes up, and in front of him are two choices: do the jump or fall in. Depending on what action you take, you get either the good or the bad ending.
But no matter what you choose, the point is that you need to just get started, not freeze when danger is in front of you. It's a bit of a stretch, but I think it fits the overall theme. "Just get started" is a call to action not to freeze or think "It's too hard" because of anxiety, but to act in spite of it. In other words, "Just do it."

Anxiety isn't this guy's problem. It's his garbage tier tin foil armor. A bee? Bro. A BEE? Is able to kill him in ONE HIT? I see why he has to second guess every move he makes so much smh. Oh, and those false paths in the hive are diabolical. Fun game :)
I am happy you liked the game. If i made him not die in one hit, the time to beat the game would be like 2-4 minutes, and you wouldn't see all the cool art(which is not made by me, check the credits, its an amazing free asset pack). But yeah, didnt have time for more content, so i artificialy extended the game by making it hard, a bit of a scummy way, but you gotta do what you gotta do
really nice work! i'm really impressed that you did this solo and that this is your first gamejam :) the implementation of the theme for this jam feels very fitting and it feels smooth while playing. the visuals go good together, I panicked a bit when i saw the bear and the red screen implication that the bear is about to catch you haha :D his claw got me a few times! all in all a very fun little game, keep up the good work!
