How is this game a platformer, what spin does it bring to the genre?
Using default platforming while also making the player a projectile as an added bonus
What theme does this game use? also explain how you implemented the theme
You speedrun to the top while running away from lava and transform in a bow&arrow and back into a human (if I used metamorphosis correctly)
Did you use any AI or PREMADE assets in this game?
No and no

Very interesting concept. Nice work!
Was cool but a little hard.
Awesome idea
Its a cool game its pretty simple and challenging but Idk if its a bug but when I died ,I js turned into ghost and the back ground kept scrolling with the timer ,also if you want to work on the game post jam,consider adding a menu and animations.
If you have time,heres my game:/jam/platformer-jam-2/rate/4726080
The title live up for its name lol. Very great game idea, I really enjoy it!
I enjoyed. Very interesting idea
A very interesting and fun game
I'm really really bad at this, so I need to give it another try later on, but the concept is hella cool :D
Hits the themes perfectly and incorporates them into its core gameplay, full points there!
(Also, submitted 13 seconds before the deadline, that's mad^^)
Yeah I was in a rush to finish this lol
Super fun! Quite a bit challenging and long for a game jam, and especially for a speedrun (I think I'd only get one time on the board lol) but nice use of theme and fun mechanics!
The end product was a bit harder than I would like it to be but due to starting late I did not have that much time to balance stuff properly.
Anyway, I am still glad you found it fun, thank you!
Really enjoyed playing this hahaha! It's fun and challenging at the same time, which makes the game even better. Congrats!!
Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
had a ton of fun ! game can be frustrating at some point but i think it's part of the design :D
Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah the frustration is 100% part of the design and not because I rushed the game in the last 48 hours!
