Really fun mechanic utilized here! I noticed sometimes I would try to  "climb" the bells but it wouldn't let me bounce and I would fall instead or I would be sent sideways. Other than that I enjoyed the game!

Ah! That’s a mechanic I should focus on explaining more. You get launched in a direction relative to what you’re hitting, but it can get confusing when you’re hitting multiple objects at once. I should work on making that more obvious in-game as well as making the puzzles feel better. Any suggestions for how I could adjust that section are greatly appreciated!

Submitted

That makes sense, I think highlighting the closest gear/bell and maybe lowering the cooldown a little after striking the objects could help. That particular puzzle wasn't too bad though! I just had to adjust to the physics.

This took a mechanic that I love from both Blasphemous and Hollow Knight and put it into a cute platformer. Great game! Some physics can get weird with the moving platforms though.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, the platforms got pretty janky upon export… I’ll release a patch when the jam’s over.

Nice platformer.

the movement was very cool and the art looked quite polished, the map design was amazing too!
