- The art is phenomenal, but it felt like the gameplay was an afterthought
- Best art hands-down. Movement is a bit crusty and a bit frustrating as a result

Was about to comment here that I have a bug that space bar isn't working LMAOO
Pretty nice game idea, very cursed visuals and music which fit the theme well. loved the cursed cats and the white dude, and the "falling upside down" was really funny :D.
I would say the thing that bothered me most was that the hitboxes were a bit iffy. Sometimes the sprites of the character and obstacles don't even overlap at all and you still die.
Another thing is that flying up when you are on a moving platform doesn't really make you fly, which kinda makes the controls inconsistent and hard to control
Also some extra sound effects here and there could have helped it become more spooky.
Good job!
I liked the art and visuals but i could'nt play it for more than 2 seconds because i was stuck and could'nt jump ( Space bar is not working )
yes, you can't jump in this game
I think that's the point of the game - it's called ca(n)t jump! :)
The most beautiful and interesting concept I've played so far on this jam. You can see and feel that it was done by a true artist. I would like to see this game made longer and maybe with more atmosphere, music, SFX, etc. It has such a huge potential.
Absolutely gorgeous your thumbnail art made me feel like I couldn't miss this one. Very cute premise I love the idea of exploring the abyss that usually kills you in a platformer. I was a bit sad bc I think the creature at the end does something very cool opening it's mouth but I only got to see a flash of it before it vanished maybe cos I was playing on browser. Then re-exploring the same level from a new context was fun and interesting as well. Falling up felt a bit wonky to control but I think that added to the charm. Definitely a favourite of mine so far. Keep it up!
glad you did! The wormother was Def my favourite part to draw
Beautiful game but I didn't went far in it: the key space seems not working. So I was stuck very quicly 😭 (Mac OS + Chrome)
that's okay, your character can't jump, the space key isent needed for that part
oohhh, I tried again. There was a bug when I played. Because the dialogue when going in the left part of the screen didn't start! (So I was stuck also from this side). It worked this time! The game is still beautiful after that! :) congrats!
the dialogue doesn't become an option until the player tries to jump over the block,glad you were able to enjoy it in the end
Unbelievably pretty! Needs some extra bug-squashing love after the "metamorphosis" happens though (add terminal velocity to the flip).
super cool. reminds me a bit of the "i'm sorry jon" garfield art.
was kinda hoping i could get revenge on the blue cats.
I like the art style that's cute but also the dark part. I'm playing it well.
I really liked the art style, i got stuck on some of the platforms though!
The art was so good. Each level down felt more terrifying than the last. I wasn't ready for everything to get flipped on its head but I loved it!
Gameplay feels a little bit under developed, especially in "Act 2" where it feels worse to play, but the art and concept are amazing! Well done!
Holy shit! Absolutely beautiful game! And awesome level design that allows you to play the whole thing the other way, really cleverly done! Great entry!
Glad you had fun! It was an interesting challenge to design around such limited movement, and keeping in mind the second half
Absolutely lovely! The art is super captivating too, well done!!! :D
thank you so much!!!!
"Saya no uta" but platformer. Art are awesome.
super amazing! the scenery is just great along with the character design and concept :3
The art is just amazing! I love how it incorporates the theme perfectly. Well done!
I found the gravity inversion a bit too janky though. The idea is good, but it feels unresponsive.
Very cool art, just wanted to let you know the movement is bugged, the space bar doesn't seem to work.
lol he said thats the point ig there's supposed to be another way to get past that part
Oh i'm dumb. Finished it after trying again, but the first time i went left i got stuck in the ground so i assumed something was wrong. It's just that what was wrong was that you get stuck in the ground.
so im also in the game jam and was scoping the competition so i gave your game a look cause i noticed you were definitely one of the top 5 games posted so far and for some reason in the first level during the tutorial part it told me space to jump but it wasn't working i tried a bunch of stuff but had no success might look into that before the end of the jam not sure if that would change your position of the top 10 in the judges eyes so figured id tell you. Good Luck! - Korupt Studios.
Noted! I'll consider making a sequel called can jump
oh I see. I'll have to give it another look I couldn't figure out how to get past that part.
Delightfully macabre art builds out a world played as a solid 2d platformer. Back half is a little janky with the new mechanic and I was expecting a little more explicit of a win state at the end (although maybe that's the point?), but the art carries it through.
still working on the win state! Glad you liked it!
Thanks I hate it! (but actually really cool concept and amazing art, it's just... disturbing lmao)
