Absolutely genius way to follow the jam's theme, not only in one, but in 3 different and creative ways. Gameplay, art, and music are all great, and the game feels very polished, besides the bugs other reviews already pointed out. Excellent Job!

I like the concept of choosing a harder path early on to make the rest of the game easier.

However, this game has some minor issues. First, some of the so-called power-ups actually make the game harder. The jump force power-ups make it more likely to bump into spikes with your head, while the run speed power-up makes it more likely to walk into spikes. Second, is the cloak actually a part of the protagonist's skin? If so, that do explain why they got hurt whenever their cloak touches spikes. If not, your character's hit box is too big for their sprite. Third, there should be a respawn timer so that you won't accidently kill yourself right after you respawned.

What worked:

I like the pick a path difficulty idea. It lets the player make risk vs reward decisions to help them in the future, or to lower the difficulty if they feel it necessary. The art looks very nice, and the theme is done well. The concept of a complete restart is brutal, but can be done well if the deaths feel fair.

What didn't:

Some power-ups seem to hinder the player. The increased jump height meant that I kept slamming my head into spikes (the first dash level especially). The only way to get around this was to dash to cut my jumps short, which with the increased dash power sent me past the blocks. I then had to double jump to recover, sending me into the spikes anyway.

The text is pretty hard to read due to the background and the dots that appear as part of the texture at times. The UI also takes over a significant portion of the screen before disappearing in each level. It makes it hard to see, especially when you've already read it and are replaying levels.

Respawning needs a small delay. There were many times I would die and immediately run off a platform due to still holding the right button.

Movement should be tightened a bit, or level design should be matched closer to current movement. (most notably air mobility)

Bugs:

Everything (spikes and pit) on Level 6 (path of brave) seems to take out 3 hp at a time? I'm not sure if this is intended.

Level 9 (path of brave) seems to have an invisible spike/collider above the first spike tower? (maybe I just couldn't see it before dying)

Double-jump doesn't seem to work while running or dashing off a platform instead of jumping off (only works when following a normal jump, dash doesn't affect it either way (can jump after dash, but only after a normal jump)).

Great job! (2m, 9 sec, full brave)

I like the visuals and the effects, but found the gameplay confusing.

For instance, what was the purpose of switching the colour scheme at the lights? It seemed to do nothing other than change the visuals. Also, I wonder if this is something perhaps determined at the ending (which I never reached), but I could not find the difference between the coward and brave options.

If you are making a platformer, you really should have variable jump height. That is to say, you jump higher the longer you hold the button. This would prevent what I felt to be lots of cheap deaths, in which I could not see the ground or hit a ceiling spike, due to not being able to control the height of my jump.

I still enjoyed it despite my criticisms, so thank you for creating.

This is a beautiful game!! The effects are amazing throughout! Also really cool to see that we had the same idea on how to use the theme :) But I think the game is quite difficult because of the movement, as some other comments pointed out. Great job!

Great game! Excellent job on the graphics and music!

The game is difficult, maybe you can reduce the player's size/hibox. But very nice game :), 

Really great visual and cool ambiance! Didn't understand why I would need to choose between brave or coward and what it did change thought and bigger platform or snappier jump would make it a lot more enjoyable because I felt like I was not in control of my character dying at spike that I couldn't avoid. Overall I really do feel like this is a great game, just need some polish and will be amazing!

Good game! I liked the visuals on it. The game has some minor issues, like some spikes that make my character die even with full health, and some levels where I can't see ahead because there's no light, so I have to take a leap of faith to try to find a platform.

Nice Game! Here are some thing, that can be improvise

1. The overall level design can be more fluid
2. Some of the mechanic is not clear like the (brick which dissapear after step) 
3. Also the game is brutal, as you died you need to restart.

But Kinda digging it !

Nice game! Beatiful animations.

Neatly crafted gaming experience, nice tutorial part with initial explanations and interesting approach to the theme! Cool game!

Smooth controls, beautiful animations and fun platforming. I found it hard, even on the path of the coward. Death music pissed me off because I heard it way too many times :)). Solid game!

Really great game. Platformers are always great to play, very well done!

wow, this was so much fun - the visuals are outstanding, i love the flowing scarf and the attention to detail.  the interactive music as you change worlds was also a nice touch, and the interpretation of the theme was spot on. such good work!!

Incredible platformer, I like sounds and art style, WOW!Is not original platfromer but super interesting.😆

Cool!I like the pixel matrix rendering method! May I ask how it was done?

A  interesting game with cool graphics:) It's especially cool that the game is possible to play in the browser

That was very fun!! Clean graphics, good gameplay...I liked it a lot!!

Jaw dropping looks.
