Both plain and original, i think it’s well executed
The second level is the hardest for me, I can't pass it again, sadly.
I got to the third level some days ago by extreme luck, but I wasn't able to beat it then, so I closed the game.
I'll give you a very honest review!
- Review for the jam -
Controls - Confusing at first (which is good because you vaguely described it at the beginning), but I think it hinders the gameplay too much (as mentioned above, it takes luck or a lot of time on the second level). And the random switching of speed just makes the game artificially harder. I think it is creative in some sense, but at the same time it makes me unable to see the rest of your game.

Art - Ugly, yes, but I feel like you could've made it worse. I like the mix of styles and scales, and I even noticed the shadow on the house lol, but I also felt the lack of attention to typography, which seems not intended (lazy). Overall it was almost too consistent in having the same level of badness.
Sound - It didn't really bothered me or made me unformfortable. The music is out of rythm, yeah, and the hit sound effect is kinda strange, but my suggestion/take is it'd be worse if you had more sfx throughout the game, like when you're charging the jump, when you land, when you're flying, when you fall into a pit, etc. And the narration isn't that bad, honestly.
Creative Badness - There was no reason to include a literal grandma.
Theme - Completely follows the theme.
These were the most concerning points I found. Feel free to reply disagreeing.
But don't worry, it's not a bad score and I can also change my mind.
Good luck!
Using the mouse to control how much power you have left and right was pretty creative but would constantly catch me off guard
Same, I like the idea but oh boy the second level gave me a headache
