I really like the solutions for these puzzles, and the dash integrates well into the levels! It's very easy to waste inputs, but I quickly got used to it, so that wasn't an issue.

The Last LanternWhat a unique take on the theme! It really stood out to me. A limited number of moves in a platformer is such a good idea and it’s executed so well. The movement feels so smooth, and counting down the levels makes it that much more motivating to keep going for some reason? Also the music choice is very relaxing yet upbeat. I love the vibes of this overall. Very polished and well put together, with challenging levels on top of it. Good job!

Broken HourglassI’ve played some other limited move games before, but this one has definitely stood out! To be honest I thought the “exploit” of getting an extra movement by holding down a move felt like a cool skill expression rather than a real but. I think this has the potential to go from a gamejam to release complete game by having 20 levels and new mechanics like levers or buttons.Nice work!

The Count is Downthis is a realy perfect game! i love the idea of the cave and that you need to go down in the cave. i actualy played a gmtk game more than 5 min for once. the idea of that the levels count down is so creative and a realy good detail to the whole game. i love the puzzel idea and that you have limeted movements. the dash is a realy good add-on to the whole game and i feel like it is realy uniqe and diffrent than other games. This is one of my favorite games on gmtk.
Its a tricky game but I felt happy after finding the solution. I like the dash mechanic and the chill music too!

Beware on what your standingWow! Very cool and well made game! It has a great look and feels really polished! I really enjoyed the limitation with the button inputs and the dash unlocking some cool puzzle mechanics. The puzzles were a bit tricky. I got stuck on level 3 a while, but then I figured out how to complete it. But I never completed level 2 and 1 :( But I will come back to this and try to beat those levels as well. I really enjoyed the puzzle design. Really well done!!!

OUTBREAKLol it was so hard to not just instinctively play this as a platformer. The concept is quite unique and interesting. Especially the horizontal dash being a movement of it's own and using it efficiently. Well done!

The ZoopiesPretty cool game with a pretty cool look. I did find that you can hold directions before a reset and have them not count, but it's not too important for the game. It really makes you strategize how to go about each stage while conserving your inputs for later. At times it can be pretty challenging. Pretty cool game, good job!

Quackceleratecool interpretation of the concept, i actually did a similar thing for my game funnily enough. the graphics are nice and minimal (i like the bloom effect!), though i think it would have been more aesthetically pleasing to stick to a nice looking color palette. i found it interesting that the dash kind of filled the typical role of the walk, but the walk was still needed to change direction. made me re-evaluate my understanding of platformers. additionally i found the death noise to be a bit loud, but all the other audio sounded great!
