The game is simple and fun. The movement controls feel very smooth. It could be made even more engaging by adding more levels and items!Good job, nice artwork!

Come back in around a few days! After the jam ends. I plan to add much more content, maybe one day I'll expand it into a full game too.

The last room seemed a little too big for the time limit but I got it on the 3rd try!

The last room was super rushes, I posted the game with little time left, I think what messed it up was the tight setup with the x blocks that lead to the paper on the top-right.

I accidentally ran into some speed tech, hitting the X block immediately after grabbing the 3rd clue preserved 2 clues in the next room, and fully broke the detection for clue pickup in the rest, John could not hope to keep up

It is pretty hard, I agree. But it's actually bugged, it's meant to be HARDER! (But I forgot to place a collision tile for one of the tight death blocks, so it's a bit easier because of that. Thanks for the review!
