It has a strange design, and it turned out really well.

I rlly like how polished it is! ITs one of my favorites! Also the main mechanic is dope. Great job!
Oh my graphics! Great art style, very polished. Lots of little details too, like the screen shake making the falls feel heavy.
I loved the scaling effect of the falling animation at the beginning. It had a lot of Game Boy soul, like Link falling through a hole.
The main character had a lot of personality, the entire game did. There’s lots of puzzle variety, and the game teaches you how everything works without overexplaining it.
This was excellent. I only wish there was more of it!
What a great game! Also a true audio visual inspiration. Design is also top notch. So cool!
Slight bug found, managed to not kill this mimic and got stuck.
Still, a fun little game, I'll have to come back to it.
Very nice idea, love execution and puzzles inside. I had lots of fun playing
Sooo good. Glad this game had controller support cause arrow keys/z,x controls don't really work for me when platforming.
Absolutely gorgeous pixel art and amazing music.
Wish there were more platforming sections like the last bit of the game though.
Amazing game! The level of polish is insane, the visual details are really impressive, the gameplay mechanic is simple and is explored nicely. I unfortunately came across the soft-lock (sorry, I must judge the jam version) but it didn't hinder my enjoyment of this game. Anyway, 5 stars, this is sick.
Very good game! Such a nice learning curve without explaining in text. Also, I'm so jealous of the wavy text, I absolutely love that haha
Great presentation, the puzzles and the screen layouts are very well designed. It feels a bit too modern which I guess takes away from the gameboy soul a little bit but the art and music are awesome. Just wish it was a bit longer!
I love this game! That could just as well be on a Game Boy cartridge.
The art and music is amazing!! and the game idea is simple but very cool how many puzzles you got out of it.
I only found one minor bug: sometimes the key was flying to the wrong lock. but only happend once ore twice so I had to reset the room. No big deal, just so you know.
Very great game!
Phenomenal game! I remember proposing something about Midas during our brainstorming phase, but whatever it would've amounted to couldn't have topped this. Super clean animations, sounds amazing, and clever puzzles! Only wish it were longer. Congrats on a great submission!
