Fun platformer, I'm terrible at it :'( could do with a meter or visual representation to show how much you've charged your jump, I also found it a bit awkward to have to be pressing the direction when you start the jump instead of being able to press it while you're charging your jump. I like that you get powers when you fall, nice way to reward trying and failing.

Great work on the art and sounds! Unfortunately I was a lil too bad at the game XD
Regarding my experience, I found it to be a bit challenging! I didn't give up right away but it was a little frustrating not being able to make it further than like 4-5 jumps, although it's potentially a skill issue for me.
Here is stream vod if you're interested in my playthough! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2586763702?t=2h6m1s
I really liked the idea for the game, but I suck too much to actually play it xD. The controls on the web version definitely didn't help, but my lack of skill was clearly a bigger issue.
On the other hand, I really loved the pixel art, especially the clouds and the tileset. This may be a small thing, but these were the best done bricks I've seen in a while.
Also, I found a small bug, where you get stuck on slopes next to the wall and on the edges -> the game thinks you're still falling I suppose.
Nice work! I implemented the same mechanic of holding the jump button to jump higher. Congrats!!
It would mean a lot if you could rate my game too! https://fernando-ferreira.itch.io/death
The game is definitely similar to Jump King and i can feel the infuriating gameplay. I obtained the double jump and passed the first level after about 10 minutes. The second level I gave up, unfortunately. The collision is truly unforgiving and pretty rough to actually get in between two platforms. Also, I don't know if it's intended, but there are certain platforms where if you charge your jump on the very edge it'll make the player do a super jump to the side and bounce around which I thought was funny. :)
