This is rad for a first game! The rock following you in the final part was super cool! I'd love to see that expanded. I also love the simple cinematic you made, that added a big touch to the style. There definitely needs to be a larger distinction between intractable / damaging objects and background elements though. The first brown vines(?) at the start I instantly died to out of confusion. That brown mixes with the brown ground. Similarly, the floating platforms were dark green on a dark green background.

I recommend looking into basic color theory. Nothing crazy, but contrast is important (If the background is dark, the intractable obstacles should be bright. If the background color is a cold color, the platforms should be a warm color). Otherwise though this is awesome! Great job starting your game making journey.

Cheers on your first game jam, and on beginning the learning process! I'm new to this myself as well.

The movement is pretty snappy so it can be easy to accidentally undershoot/overshoot a jump or walk into a falling rock sometimes, but for a first game it's a nice starting point to improve from!

I like the retro vibes. Very silly art and cool plot for a short game

Fun little game! To me at first it wasn't completely clear what can kill you and also coyote time for the jump would have been nice. Still i enjoyed this very much, and the cinematics were fun!

The platforming mechanics were solid, although I'm so bad at these types of games lol. Maybe if you had more time a more intense level to go back to town with apple would be fun, just an idea!

It has a genuine beauty to it. I love the haunted rock room. 

I love the graphics! The hand‑drawn cinematics give it so much personality... hahaha, they really add flavour!
