Eee I almost forgot to rate this one!!! I love the little mushrooms they're the cutest. Movement felt great, super snappy and responsive, and the soundtrack was lovely. Great work!!

Wow, this is so good! I absolutely love the visuals of this game, there's so much life in it! Movement is great too, the abilities were pretty nice as well! Really great level design, the backtracking was perfect and at no point was I lost or confused. The music is just incredible though, It has so much variety in one track and is really magical, excellent work on that! Seriously though the visuals were incredible but with the context of the jam it's incredible they were made in such little time! Just fantastic work!

Incredible! The music is totally chilled out Celeste vibes. and I adored the pixel art graphics. Controls/gameplay was smooth, and good grief - telling me I have 7/8 shards at the end is the best way to compel me to go back and spend another 10 minutes running around looking for it. This is such a lovely short metroidvania game. I want more!

Very nice entry! Everything felt smooth and fun! Good job!

This was SO good, I love the aesthetic and the music, the gameplay felt nice and smooth as well. Plus, little mushroom dude got some mad hops and I respect it! 

THIS WAS SO CUTEEEEE I LOVED IT. i dont like platforms much but your game is one of the few that i actually enjoyed playing consistently!!! 

Love the soundtrack!!! And also how the art-style is so coherent which makes for a really visually compelling pixel art game, Good job to everyone involved in this project.

Wow, I had a lot of fun playing this game! :D 

The progression of the game is nice, I always like when really basic skills are unlocked at the start of the game, like the jump in this case. I like the theme implementation in this game, also it’s a good metroidvania for this little time we had to make a game, polished or I didn’t find a bug or something like that, great secrets and a good way to introduce them with the 1st one, also good way to mark the hidden paths, I was happy when I see there are secret areas because I didn’t expect it in haha

My 1st playthrough I found 7 and it’s a nice choice you can keep exploring instead of making the player play from zero, but I wouldn’t mind that because this game has a great soundtrack, it kept me glued to the game with a smile, the song with the atmosphere of the visuals and the gameplay, everything feels nice together that felt a little sad when I finished the game heh

I think my favorite mechanic is the dash, I always like games when they have dash, also it’s funny to see the fungus throwing itself to one direction, my favorite secret room was the one where the musician is. I also liked bouncing from spikes, something that could be dangerous now it’s something useful

I don’t think I have much to say outside this, easily one of my favorites this jam, very fun, nice game ^^

Such a cute game! I love metroidvania-style exploration, and I really liked the music too — super fun, congrats!

If you have a moment, I’d love if you could check out mine too! Play it here: https://kaijota.itch.io/graverun

Watch the gameplay on YouTube:

i really enjoyed this one! i love the way the progression works, with needing to kill yourself in order to access higher areas through spikes. also chompy revolution

This feels like a hidden gem! 💎

The level design for this game is incredible. You get "stuck", and then there's such a clever way to advance to a next area. Getting new abilities upon dying is a very clever way for a platformer like this. The music/sfx is great as well. I really enjoyed it, and I usually don't like platformers, so good job!! (❁´◡`❁)b

Note: the jumping on spikes did not always give me the desired height, I'm not sure if this is intended or a bug.

The soundtrack is SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD. LOVE THE VIBES, sooo hollow kinght.I think I soft locked myself here and I cant interact with the up thingy.

I'm not sure if it's because my monitor's framerate is 165hz, but the physics of the game felt really, really fast.  Other than that I enjoyed finding the secret rooms

This was fun, it feels very polished and the progression was very natural. Great art style and soundtrack.

Managed to get out!

Very cute art style and really well thought out.
I had so much fun finding all the passageways. Every time you unlock an ability you have that lightbulb moment of "Oh I know EXACTLY where I needed this earlier" 👌👌.

One of the best games int he Jam, very metroidvania vibe.

Very well done game, super impressive for 5 days! The soundtrack is what stood out to me the most, beautiful work, give the composer my regards!

Cute game with lovely art and a great soundtrack! Great job :)

Really cool and polished game ! An impressive amount of work, well done !

The LD and progression in general are Chief's Kiss !
