This made me think of SMB3, the way the character jumps with her hands extended! Really enjoyed this little platformer which did a lot of things right - the hitbox wasn't too punishing, the enemies were predictable enough, and there was plenty of really fun moments where my jumps just connected the way I was hoping to. Really enjoyed the music as well which suited the mood perfectly. I did have to fight the first boss at least 5 times to kill him, and a few of those times I died right after having delivered a successful hit (they uppercuted me literally a few ms after) so that could use a bit more leniency towards the player :)
Really cool entry overall!
