Really fun game, the fact that when you fall you don't lose is incredibly surprising and cool, you level design is good, hard but does not make you curse , well done especially with the time limitation !

I like the art style, it is easy on the eyes. This is definitely a game that would benefit from being able to control how much you jump by holding up though, assome jumps are very narrow for how much your character likes to slide. It is doable though, not too bad
General idea is kinda neat and I enjoyed doing few attempts exploring the area

OUR LAST DAYS TOGETHERThank you very much! It originally did have a variable jump, but I wanted to make the game emulate the old, early 1980s platformers that it is inspired by a bit closer (without emulating it too closely, since games like Jet Set Willy did not allow you to control your jump trajectory at all). I will, however, be adding variable jump heights to a planned sequel of the game.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback.
It was a great game that felt like a finished one! The most interesting thing about it, is the fact that some places are challenging to reach and we have to be carefull. The fun part is when you find out that falling into a pit doesn't mean death but instead means moving on another section, and it's really cool to discover what's hiding when we jump or fall! It was a very good surprise.
Very well done. :)

GeometricaI think so far my highest overall rated game for the jam, very well done with a lot of interesting room designs and solid overall concept. I like the background story element and it feels like a Spelunky-lite game. The changing music was a nice touch and the designs in the walls of the rooms spelling out words/drawings was really cool to see, an absolute banger of an entry.
IGN 10/10 - IT'S OKAY
- + Gorgeous details
- + Lots of rooms
- - Too much water
- - Too many rooms

AIM SHOOT KILLThank you so much for that! I really appreciate the kind words. I've been wanting to do a game like this for a while, so when this Jam gave me the opportunity, I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted to do. I'm very glad to know that people find it enjoyable.
As for the too much water problem, I will definitely take a look at getting the temple drained. I did not notice the flooding. Thank you for pointing that out!
Wow - great game! This fondly reminds me of Montezuma's Revenge for the Commodore 64. Loved it!

PurrGatorioIt takes a while to load on my machine. The music is immediately fun, whimsical and delightful. The sound effects are perfect. Graphics are very on point for that old retro computer feel. Great to see that there is gamepad support. Background art is beautiful and level designs are well thought out. I can tell there was a lot of testing to get this right instead of just slapping something together like a lot of the others. Attention to detail throughout. This is brilliant. Amazing work!

GunkataThank you very much for your kind review! I truly appreciate it.
The issue with the loading speed of the game has been puzzling me for a while now. On my own system it takes anything between 3 - 10 seconds to load, using either Edge or Chrome. Several other players have reported anywhere from roughly the same loading times, up to 3 minutes. I have not been able to track down the actual cause of this.
Wow, such a well made game. Dogging around the enemy's feels good, the music is great and the artwork is really well done. Really feels like you are playing an old retro game. Great work

SpiritCageA fun platformer, you can tell this game is a contender for the win, the level of polish is great and it radiates old school and hardcore platformers.
Overall great job

Balloon To The MoonReally good and polished one, the level opening up in a maze like I really loved. Cool aestethic and music too
Submitted
Phantom PaperThis one is definitely amazing.
This definitely doesn’t feel like it was made in only one week. This is one polished game.
Thank you for sharing.

Everything Is NothingThank you so much!
Most of my time was spent on level design and getting the game as polished as possible, since the actual coding of the game mechanics were deceptively simple. All the enemies / hazards run off the same code, with variables that can be changed to change the look, speed and behavior of each one. The toughest part was in creating each room and keeping the game challenging, but not impossible to finish.
Really great 80s platformer, brought me back to very old 1Bit games vibe. Great job, btw my best score was 60 collected!

CursedCultwow it's super polish! i really liked it! i can't manage to put all of the 100 orbs down, but the maps are great! also love the music!
Submitted
CursedCultThis was super tough! I did eventually chicken out though, not feeling like I had a direction and getting a bit too frustrated making small mistakes and getting killed over and over. I am not very good at games. The visuals are really neat, and I think it's super classy with the room names and overall the aesthetic is really good. Great work!

ClamberA hardcore platformer challange that gives such a throw back to old games of this kind. grueling, yet well designed. My best run got me to 54/100 remaining. That being said all the rooms were well designed and communicate their intentions clearly to the player. The scale felt so vast! Unrelated, but really great cover art! All around great submission
