Ranked from 32 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
You start the game without any instruction on how to play. During playthrough the player will encounter many (sometimes inconveniently) placed hints. However, all those hints straight up lie or mislead you. Some even wanna trick you into restarting the game on accident. Who can you trust, if not even the tutorial is trying to help you?

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Character controller was originally based on a free asset, but almost fully rewritten and expanded upon.

Grrr, I'm mad at this game😤😤. Tbh, there is nothing bad I could say, great job.)

Good job! I like the look, and the controls while a little quirky, are consistent and predictable once you get them settled in your mind, which is the most important thing. 

I would personally steer away from the 'gag' tricks (especially if they are as rare as in this game) as they just kind of frustrate the player, and stick to the game being fair but challenging. 

Overall great effort.

I'd love if you tried this and rated it. I just need a few more for 20.

Nicely done.  I struggle with platformers but I was able to figure out the trick ...mostly.  Nice entry and nice music.

I love the pixel art. I fell for the trap lol, no extra health for me :<. Its a fun Foddian game, its like a mix between jump king and wall kickers if you've ever played those. Really well made, polished and difficult. I love it, good job!
