Pros: Great art, nice feel with the physics. The gameplay is reminiscent of Celeste or Super Meat Boy, while the dodging of squares reminds me of the World's Hardest Game back in the Flash day. Challenging and makes you want to keep improving. And using the dress to hover is very unique!
Cons: Tough game, but as someone who also made a game that's way harder than it should be, I completely understand with the time limit. If you were to make this without jam pressure, I would suggest having checkpoints slightly more frequently, and IMPORTANTLY reduce the waiting time when respawning. That would really help players get right back into it and less likely to feel frustrated. And I wish the controls were slightly more modifiable. Shift + Space is very awkward for me personally. I think for platforming games, a hack for jams would be to have multiple options for each button, like WASD / arrows to move, Space / Up to jump, Shift / J to dash. Then players can use what they want.
Anyway, great job!

VocabiusI love this kind of games, Reminds me of the commodore 64 games I really liked the skirt to slow down the fall, ingenious solution! Very fun game but as you said a bit difficult. I found a bug or not a bug?: easy to reach the second check point. just have to die in the right place and you fall on it, which activates it. Nice job!

WilliamReally very difficult I had trouble reaching the 3rd checkpoint haha! and yet I have tried many times! But in any case it was nice, the gameplay is fluid and the game is fun!

LIGHT GUARDIANIt's really fun. Definitely a little punishing for me, but I had a great time enjoying the game while I was at it.

Arise of the RoachReally nice, I love the visuals and the game's super charming. My only gripe is that jumping feels kind of strict. There's something called "Coyote Time", this is where the player has a small leeway after falling off a platform/before touching a platform where they can still input jump and get a jump. Might want to look into implementing that in the future as it's quite fundamental to the feel of platformers. Other than that the game's really really nicely done, great job!

Vengeful EchoesIt is super easy to implement, though. Just store the isGrounded state with a float instead of a bool, set it to a small value like 0.1 seconds when you touch ground, make it reduce by time, and whenever the player press the jump button, it checks if the value is greater than 0. If yes, set the value to 0 and do the jump function.
If you are using Unity or C# and you already have multiple functions accessing the isGrounded bool, you can turn it into a "property with custom accessors" (a property with a custom getter and a custom setter).
A nice little platformer, I didn't have too hard of a time. The atmosphere was really nice too.

Against Eternal NightMade it to the end! It was challenging at first, but not too bad. I'd say the hardest part was the big fall a the very beginning.
I liked the princess and her animations; the way she moved felt very smooth.
This is not one bit, however. There were many shades of pink and cream on all the geometry, and the black and white checkpoints felt very disconnected from the rest of the art.
I could kind of see what you were trying to get at with the 'falling into madness' thing with the music distortion, but the fact that none of the other elements of the game conveyed a descent into madness I never would've known why the music was distorting if not for the description.
Thanks for creating!

Never AloneVery fun mechanic. The death animation was hilarious, especially when dying at the start where you just fall for a while upside down. A bit on the hard side I feel for a game jam. Either easier overall, or a little more gradience would have been nice.
Nevertheless it was a fun experience.

Winter CampfireI am a dog player, but fun! Very stylish and memorable game across the board.

StarcatcherReally solid submission! The gameplay mechanics are super intuitive and really fun to get a grasp of, and the choice of colors makes the world feel full despite the limitation of only two colors! I'm not the best at platforming, yet I was able to get to the smiley face in roughly 5-10 minutes, of course with some deaths. Overall, really enjoyed this one!

Dark MatterI like your choice of colours, it definitely makes the game stand out. I also like the movement mechanics- but sadly I am a dog player, and got hard stuck almost immediately.
I'm curious how the music brings about the theme as you mentioned in the description- mind spoiling it for me because I am nowhere near good enough to get very far in.
