Really nice looking player sprite. Definitely the type of game that needs lots of small levels. Couple times I made a mistake and was really craving an undo/restart option.

Developer

There actually is a restart button! I ran out of time, and neglected to put instructions on the project page itself, but if you press "Esc", there is a reset level button. Sorry about that!

I feel your pain, I have a similar problem - People are craving a repeat level button and it's right there in the game but I don't signal them to use it or make it more obvious through my UI design.

I can see potential in the concept! I seem to have broken the game a few levels in however, not sure if it was my fault or not but I can't progress.

Developer(+1)

Well that's no good! I can say it's probably not your fault though, do you know which levels broke? All of them worked during my testing, but I am aware some levels do just randomly break.

Hmmm I believe it was after about 5 levels? I'm not completely sure and I don't seem to be able to replicate it.. 

Developer(+1)

No worries! I'll look into it, I think I had a friend run into the same issue with that level as well. Thank you very much!

Sad there weren't more levels! Feels like I was just scratching the surface of the game's potential. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Unfortunately, life got in the way, so I wasn't able to add more levels before the deadline. But I'll definitely be adding more after voting ends for the Jam!
