Bug-free platformer with good mechanics.

Liked the upgrading mechanic. For future updates, filling out the empty blue background with custom art and adding a subtle background music would help.

Thank you I appreciate the input, i didnt wanna add music because last time i rushed it and it was really bad

I found the character, sound effects, enemies, and mechanics quite creative. However, it could use background music, a HUD, collectibles, and something to fill out that blue background

If you have time, could you try my game too? It was made entirely on mobile by one person.

Fighting monsters while climbing to get back home is such a satisfying and engaging concept — the double jump mechanic adds a really nice layer of skill to the platforming. What's most impressive is how polished and bug-free the whole experience feels, which is genuinely rare for a jam game. The variety of mechanics already in place gives it a lot of depth. The smart call to skip music rather than rush in something bad at the last minute shows real game design maturity. Background music in a future update would really elevate the atmosphere even further. Great work overall! Feel free to check out my sky platformer too 😊

I was so close to the home.  double jumping was a cool feature.

it's surprisingly immersive, I genuinely thought i was gonna get something like yet another buggy platformer. But I didn't encounter any and it was surprisingly fun. If some new mechanics are introduced, I'm sure this game can reach greater heights. Not that it lacks at mechanics, it already has many. It's a great game! Nice Job!

This is a good simple game. A subtle background music could have made it a lot better. But, nice attempt. 

Developer

Thank you last time i added music last minute it was horrible so i skipped it this time
