The game can be entertaining, although it can get quite chaotic because it's difficult to accurately calculate how the projectile will launch. You'll get the hang of it as you play, but it's still something that should be fixed to make the experience smoother.

The bomb mechanic was quite unreliable as it would cause Shiori to fly in random directions. The mechanic had all sorts of bugs which affects the gameplay but I'm sure the gameplay will be better once its all fixed.

On my first few minutes I fell through the floor a bunch of times, accidentally sequence-broke to the boss sequence locking myself out of all but the first level that I entered, and later watching other people’s playthroughs I also realized zero of shines that I had got thus far were with the intended solution. These are all points in favor.

Definitely among my favourites in the jam, I could play this for hours.

I like that it plays closer to the ecosystem of PSX collectathons than actual SMS. Best of both worlds with Sunshine’s aesthetic.

Good options for movetech as well which is always important to keep it fresh.

Please, shorter bridges next time lol

I liked the concept but didn't get too far (also, I was on a time limit with a borrowed laptop, so...).

I'm intrigued why you decided to use one of the most frustrating mechanics of Mario Sunshine for one of the levels... I didn't manage to go past the second toss, tbh.

The model was pretty good and the gameplay seemed good, but didn't get the chance to really try it.

Still, this jam is proof that you have what it takes to make a great game. Keep going!

Yeah, the physics jank made this hard to bear. But I think of it as a proof of concept that has a lot of potential. There's definitely things about it I know I could enjoy with the various flaws ironed out. The presentation really shines as well.

This game looks nice and has interesting ideas, but none of the mechanics work well enough to be enjoyable. The basic launch is just too vertical, and the normal jump feels like it's only there to solve what in any other game would be automatic stair detection. I stopped when I got to the level with the "chucksters" (or I think that's what it said? the text was hard to read). I got sick of being flung too far off from the the destination, and I especially didn't appreciate the barrels screwing withe the normal launching.

I liked the super mario sunshine theming of this. The physics is really janky though as I couldn't consistently do the boosted jump and the camera sensitivity is way too high. I tried adjusting it in the settings, but it made it go backwards or stop working, so I had to live with that. I found out that to do the super jump consistently, I had to jump first, then fire immediately after for it to work. However, this would still fail sometimes or I get launched in a different direction. The barrel level was the hardest due to getting flung in a different direction than intended or not going far enough to make it onto the barrels. Good job putting this together.
