Good game!

I really love this game, the level and the enemies were very well thought out, I love the color palette you picked for the game, very smooth movements and the sound is also great!

This game has all the vibes going on! The music makes it very cosy! A great submission for this jam indeed.

Nice platformer, the player character limbs were they done using bone or line animations?

Submitted

The character movements was very good, I liked it

Submitted

That was super smooth!

I really like the design/visuals of the game! With some extra time to make all the levels, having icons for all the abilities, hearts, etc, this could be a really fun game.

A great game. I like the controls. The only problem is that it's impossible to dodge the enemy throwing the ball. Anyway, good game!

Love the visual design! Was spine or similar software used for the animations? Just curious. The player character and all the enemies are super cute. I got stuck at one point repeated backtracking through a walljumping section (I think level 7) and the gap was wide enough that just jumping couldn't do it so it was finger gymnastics of pressing the direction for a split second,  not early enough to mess up the first jump off the wall but not too late as to fall or end up lower and miss hitting the other side. My RSI in my wrist makes that way too painful to try to brute force. But all in all great gamejam entry!

These somersaults are awesome! I spent 5 minutes only by jumping around, and it was satisfying!

Looks like itch,io didn't post my comment... So I'm gonna post it again!

Well, this game is sick, starting from the name "Saltsong" (I very appreciate this pun) to the mechanics and visuals. It feels like correct version of both Celeste and Hollow Knight because of combination of Celeste's parkour and Hollow Knight's combat system. Level design is pretty good, movement is fluid. Also this little goofy blobby thingy as a main hero. He is so adorable with his tiny arms and legs! <3

I definitely see the hollow knight inspiration here and I'll for the it

the movement is the highlight it's good(though pogoing is way too strong)
the level design is ok 

and the art style is amazingly simple(that's good)

overall great game especially in the time frame we had

Thanks! Pogoing is actually bugged right now, used to be exactly like HK but it kinda broke
