How does your game meet GBJam's theme
Picking Up Time is a vertical climb through the stages of growing up. You start from childhood and climb toward adulthood, picking up candies and old objects along the way — these are the "old gold": precious pieces of your past buried in memory. Falling down represents setbacks in growing up, but you always climb again. And time is always counting.

I had fun playing the game, I made a highscore of 54 I think that was good. I'm bad at platformers so big skill issues.
The art look really good detailed I was shoked that it was so detailed with such less colors. Well done!
This game was awesome to play. It was a bit frustrating at first trying to learn the controls because of the character's velocity still being applied horizontally even when the move keys weren't being pressed, but once I got used to it I entered a flow state and was able to complete the game. The ending part makes you sweat a little but it was really well designed. Good job on this!
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback!
I had a great time playing this game and the controls felt very smooth and satisfying! The interpretation of the theme I think was really cool. It was very simple and fun.
Loved the art, the vibe and the way the character runs and is animated! It's so cute. Nice interpretation of the secondary theme also, very unique and well execute with the items from the past. Despite being super bad in platform games, I really enjoyed it. Only mild critic is that the music loop is a little short.
Thank you so much for your feedback!!
Really nice difficulty level i got it after a few tries and it felt really rewarding, fun little platformer!
Thanks! Hope you'll like it!
