Great platformer with creative mechanics and nice level design! It's a cool take on the theme, and there is a lot of attention to detail in the artwork. That being said, I felt that the difficulty was unbalanced - it quickly goes from flow to frustrating. I would have much rather enjoyed puzzle solving with the game's mechanics over the highly precise platforming movement. But I still think it was a great game and concept overall. Well done!

Fun idea! I like the different spin on the idea of using death to progress. The animations on the bomb are great too, love the jump animation. I enjoyed using the dash recharge goo as a ladder quite a bit.

While controls work well for the other sections (having the forward momentum on your jumps makes sense for reaching explosive blocks), they're not tight enough for that strict platforming section with the pillars. I think the controls are fine (they can be a bit awkward for platforming but it works with the puzzles) , but those thin platforms need to be a bit more forgiving, as it makes that section more frustrating than challenging.

Love the grayscale backgrounds, sprite-work and color choices! This game looks so good and brings me back to the Mario 3 days. Very smart puzzle design, too! It's tricky without being frustrating, and just a joy to play. After playing 80+ jam games, I think this is my absolute favorite puzzle game. Very excited to see how high this ends up in the rankings!

Love the art for this game!

I did think some of the gaps you have to launch yourself through are a bit small, making it so you have to restart a few times if you miss it, but other than that I had a good time, very good game!

Amazing Game - i like how the theme "Loop" was interpreted by you. The unique gimmick, of having to blow yourself up to overcome obstacles is also nicely done. The artstyle ist Just stunning and fits perfectly for such a Game.

Cool idea - similar to my own, about a loop of dying on purpose to get rid of obstacles. The controls felt a bit clunky to me, but the game was fun overall. Great art too!

Beat the game! That last section was pretty difficult, but still fun. The levels look amazing, great work on the pixel art! My only criticism is that the lack of friction in air makes the controls feel very slippery, but if that's what you were going for then it's fine. Good job!

Wow, this one is fantastic! The layered parallaxing art is really cool, and the gameplay is very satisfying with the chained boosts. The use of the bomb as the player is clever. Nicely done!

Love the art style. For me, I feel like I have less control over the player than I'd like to. But well done overall!
