I really liked all the pixel art and the music, good job with that.
The gameplay was way to precise imo, maybe adding coyote jump and jump buffering would help a bit but the main problem was the level layouts.
At the start they were very easy, then they became confusing and frustrating. If the player can't make a particular jump the level designer sould make that clear from the start. Take the famous italian plumber as an example of good level design, or even SuperMeat Boy.
Play masterpiece

Yes, the platformer controls leave a lot to be desired. It was Sasha's first game and first approach to Godot, so he and I agreed that it'd be probably the best we would manage to get in the jam timeframe, and we needed to define the physics variables to start building the levels (if we changed the values we would've had to change the design).
As for the screenshake, I'm wondering how could be implemented to improve the difficulty curve. Can you give me a hint on that?
Coyote time: I dindt know the term haha. You are right on that and we wanted to, but weren't able to implement it.
cheers!
Wow, great to hear you were able to finish your first game, especially in such a short time! When it comes to screen shake, it isn't used to make the game any harder but it helps the game feel more immersive or as some people call it "Juicy" or feel here's a few videos I found that helped me understand what Game Juice was
And
Obviosly color wouldn't apply to this game,But maybe it can help in your further game dev endevoursObviously
