Themes
Gotta Go Fast: The difficulty progression in the game is based on time played, not levels passed, so if you go through the levels faster the game becomes easier.
Tooling
I've used godot, aseprite and audacity, I've used them before a few times.

A real nice puzzle and the visual juice is on-point. Two tragic faults, though, and they should be pretty easy to fix: (1) You’re reading gamepads for the dpads but the jump button isn’t mapped, and (2) sound effects are way too loud relative to the music, especially that first “LINELINE!”.
I was surprised at how long I wound up playing this. I also didn't have the context of having played either of the games it was based off of, but I could still understand it immediately which I guess is a good thing. It's funny how I stopped approaching the levels intelligently as soon as there was any kind of time pressure...
Simple and effective—a perfect fit for the resolution constraint! It took me a few tries to get the jump timing down (or maybe my skills are just rusty! :P), but it feels very rewarding once you get the hang of it. Nice job!
Beautifully minimal and very approachable. Graphics are clear and easy to read. It feels slightly off that the goal highlight is so large, makes it slightly unclear what tile im supposed to go to, but that's just nit picking. Great work!
Simple mechanics, but a great challenge. Like this quite a lot =)
Great use of the low resolution and the graphics fit very well. Love the little details in the animation.
What about tuning the volume of the first SFX a bit (better a lot) down? It scared me to death the first time =D
Great game jam entry you have here!
