Character animation has way too much swag.  But it needs more polishing, and also some more platforming. Good game!

Dig the character animation.  I don't mind the momentum of the character, but you gotta get rid of the rounded edges on platforms making the player slide off all the time.  It would be fine if it worked consistently, but way too many times I was unable to control the character because he got stuck in the slipping on an edge animation.  It's just too finicky, especially since you added sections where precise jumps were required.

The movement felt a bit slow / sluggish but the animations were good. I couldn't figure out what the items did or how to use them.

great animations, like really good, i love it. i also think the title screen is awesome, wouldve been great with some chill music some more interesting twists on the platforming. great game

Neat premise, I liked the character's animation.

It was frustrating falling down and permanently missing gold from above, and I was unsure what the tooth was for.

Nice title screen, building the letters out of the same brickwork as the levels and hanging the prisoner off one of them is a proper idea rather than just a logo. the dungeon rooms read clearly too. nice job

It is a soild game to play but some enemies are not moving. I don't know if that is intended. becuase some places are now blocked for me to reach

Overall, solid game, the character animation is insanely good, platforming physics felt fluid and precise, only problem would be I did seem to get stuck on some low ledges, but aside from that fantastic job.

Thanks for the kind words, we didn’t end up having as much time to work on this game as we would have liked especially on the play testing and programming side, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out overall

Very interesting game. I really liked the way the character moves, I feel like a great deal of time was spent on making this character feel awesome. Nice work.

Thank you. The same can be said for your character, loving the bread and the helmet. Brilliant stuff
