Very pretty and well crafted. Those pendulums kept wrecking me though. GJ

How does the game fit the theme?
You play as an Map Maker Mapping out a strange and uncharted area!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
most of the assets I did not make. I only made some part of the UI and edited some other existing assests. I did make the music at the start.
and I wrote all of the code. Some of it came from tutorials, but only a small amount.

Yes there may be a hidden area under the path of regret ( under the path with the two floating objects and pendulum between) its the hardest path in my opinion. The ending you got is still very good. Good job I'm very happy to hear you did this well!
But also I specifically made it so it would look complete even if its not. So it may be a different area you didn't discover? Not sure, but good job!
There are probably several ways to address it, but as some examples:
- the death sequence is a bit plain. a death anim/sound, plus something to make the DEAD screen feel a bit more connected to the player (slow fade in, could even have a quip/commentary on how the player died)
- could just make it really fast, and respawn right where before you died, so it doesn't feel bad at all
- make things like spikes have more clear hitboxes, maybe make them player-favored so you can graze them without dying
- could have a "look up/down" option so you can look before you leap

these are some great points, thank you! I agree about the spikes I didn't make them the best way because of time and same thing with the death part and look up / down but I think this is very doable
I might decide to continue this game after the jam, and I'll do all of these, thank you for the feedback!
There were some parts where i wished the camera would show me where I could land on instead of a blind jump. Overall, fun game.
