Awesome game! Love the art and physics feel

Love the color palette for this one looks great. I love when the new mechanic gets introduce with switching between the different sides to create platforms. Great game!

Really pretty!!! That intro was so nicely done! Great logo too! Beautiful color choices overall as well!

Platforming reminded me of Mega Man, especially with the tight jumps and dropping platforms. Great distinct enemy variety too.

Great work!

Amazing game! Great graphics, audio, and gameplay. It has a good NES feel to it. You also have a good variety of behaviors in the enemies. I like the attention to detail... like the animation when a coin is collected or an enemy is defeated. Well done.

Very strong art direction. The graphics feel MSX-y to me. The only two things that kind of take away from the perfect retro feel are the too detailed rocks in the intro and the swipe-over effect in between levels. The controls are tight, the level design is good, and just when things started to feel a bit repetitive it shifts over to a completely new playing style? Unfortunately I ran out of lives before I could figure out how it's supposed to work, and I didn't feel like starting from the beginning again. I'd suggest a "continue" function that resets your score but lets you stay at the current stage (or at least the current "world").

The NES aesthetic is really nice here, but the enemy placement went really bad on this, I couldn't get past the "Magma's Heart", as the first platform jump is very weird and wants the player to get stunned in a very specific timing, there is no way to just jump over the enemy there because the platform will fall before that, and if you get hit in the wrong timing, the platform will simply fall before being able to jump again, and the player simply can't attack either on that point. I only managed to get past it twice I think, but then died a bit later and got stuck on it again.

the game is very polished with pretty good art and music, the platforming section of the game was pretty tight and the controls felt the same way, the enemy design was really nice and they all def trying to mess with you, getting extra lives when you collect enough gems was a good addition and def makes the game a bit more fair since it's pretty hard (and i can tell you got some inspirations from super mario for that) ,although i felt that i was kinda stunned when i get hit by the enemies which isn't really good for a tight platforming game like this one, also the enemy placement felt some times unfair since some enemies were placed in very small platforms where it's really hard to get down there and kill them before they hit you, but other than that, it's a pretty solid game and had fun playing it

if you have some free time maybe check out my game and leave some feedback there, i'd like to hear some ;) ;)

Felt very classic. Had fun playing. Thank you!

I kinda love this game even though I don't like it that much. Sure it has weird enemy placement causing many deaths, and the music's instruments sound like that one Linux soundfont, but it also has really cool graphics that fit the jam theme (reminiscent of Metroid), the music is nicely written and I'm especially a sucker for that title theme, and the artwork is cute. Best of luck on any and all endeavors!

this game has so much speedrun potential!!!

I really had a great time and was gratifying to stick around to keep replaying "world" 1 until I beat it. The switch to world 2 was super cool, and I am definitely interested what else there is in the game if i can ever beat it! "World" 2 has a lot of potential, but i suffered from platform readability a little bit. The timing and usage of the new item was instantly interesting , really really fun to use it, but guessing "is this gonna be a platform or not?" was more frustrating than challenging. It wasn't all of the platforms, some of the colors were very clear and indicated what i needed to know, but there were a few confusing colors and platform types i got tricked by several times. Not sure if the trickery was intended since it doesn't really have any kaizo feel to it other than the first falling platform surprising me!

the NES feel with difficulty, precision inputs, music, sprites, and color were all PERFECT.  because the NES aesthetic was so perfect, the black rectangle scale tween during screen transitions bothered me a little bit more than it should. (To critique the game's art, i have to resort to critiquing the screen transitions... xD)

I think my favorite part of the game was learning the timing of the gold enemies. The enemy designs were really well balanced and challenging overall. Definitely reminded me of MANY old NES platformers my cousin and I would replay over and over, but only ever beat 1-2 levels whenever we played it haha

And last but not least... thesoundtrack... Old Mines was such a banger!!!!!!! GG WP!

This one was pretty cool! I really liked the color palette you went with. I also used purple and reds in mine, yours looks very vibrant and the color combo just gives it a real retro feel. I liked all the different enemy types and I thought the attack animation was SO smooth. Having multiple songs is always a great touch as well :D

Good job. This game feels very authentic. I really like the music. 

This was the best game out of the games I have tried here today so far.

Immersive game and music! 

Pretty good across the board. Good work

had to get good on my jumps! nice nes feel! and the music is pretty nice! it’s sure a difficult game but the presentation made it enjoyable! had fun!

It absolutely nailed the nes feel. I liked the gameplay a lot! Sadly didn't get to the end tho

The boss died, the thing got destroyed and I left the cave. I think it took me 3 runs (and then one million lives).

The game 100% feels like a NES game up to the slightly rigid controls (not only not using the sword while jumping but also not being able to control your jump while you're using the curse item), it looks great, it sounds great and it's super fun to play. The difficulty is perfect with sequences of the appropriate length and it ends with a satisfying boss sequence.

Thanks for sharing!
