Had a blast playing your game, fun premise and the MC is adorable! The wall jump took a little bit of getting used to but no biggie. Great job!

Really fun! I dig the idea of spinning for level segments. I wish the game did a bit more with that concept, but what it does do is still really cool.

The controls felt a bit wonky. Gravity seemed very slow, but only sometimes. And I couldn't tell if I had a double jump or a single use wall jump or what; sometimes I seemed to be able to jump twice and sometimes I couldn't. For a platformer, it definitely could use some tighter controls.

All in all however, it's really neat. I love Jack's art. He's a goofy little dude, which is my vibe. Good work!

I loved the art, the music, and it was clear this was made with a lot of care, though it is a bit weird to get a hang of. I feel like this game with some polish could be a great game! keep it up

Developer

Thank you for your kind words!

lowkey softlocked my self after i died, so now i got zero spins and zero skeletons. but either way, i like the artstyle, the controls are good, love that spinning made you hover for a bit, and the level slot machine is very creative. ad the old timey music and graphics look good. but it doesnt really scale to fullscreen in the browser for some reason, maybe it is something in my end. very nice

the blue and orange levels are pretty fun. love the music for them, the jazz really has me feeling like i'm dealing with some serious business. or at least that's what it felt like. then i got to a red level. woah that was some heavy stuff. pretty hard game,  but difficulty is on par with the enjoyment. amazing jam submission.

Developer

Thanks for playing!!

First tip for game jams: Always try to upload your game as a WebGL build. Most developers and players won't bother downloading the games (speaking from personal experience). I didn't have any music or sound effects in the game (even though there's an option for that?), but I don't want to rule out the possibility that the problem is on my end. I find it a bit clunky, and even in full-screen mode, it doesn't look very pleasant. The graphics, though, are really cool and fit the game well!

I would have liked a short tutorial or a better explanation of the controls!.

Sorry for that, our first version was simply not working. Try again and you will have the full final version (for real)
