Hey. I recorded a video about the Beginners Circle jam and included your game in it. If you want to cut your game out of the video, let me know. However, if you like the video, I make similar videos every day. I will be happy if you subscribe. Anyway, I enjoyed playing your game.
I had a lot of fun playing this! The sprites and animations ar great! I especially liked the death animation, sometimes I would kill the poor little worm just to see it xd The music is also very good. An the level design felt very well balanced. I dont understand why you chose ":" as a button though. Those characters are different depending the region, I had to press a lot of different keys until I found that in my keybord the right key was ";" and that I had to press "shift + ," to transform wich was a little unintuitive.
Ah sorry, I didn't take that into account. The reason I chose it was because initially I had plans for the caterpillar to perform various attacks and those were bound to J and K so the initial concept was to have the player use their right hand on the home row on the ANSI layout as if they were typing, while their left hand was on WASD. Those ideas were scrapped though, so I just didn't really pay much attention to the bindings after that unfortunately.
This was great! The mechanics with the midair platform were really cool and I liked how you had to collect the sugar cubes into order to build up to the butterfly at the end of the level. A couple suggestions:
Retry should have been a keyboard button, so I didn't have to reach for the mouse.
I probably also would've gone for bit more "show, don't tell". For example, you didn't need to say "Avoid" for those ants. If it wasn't obvious to the player, it would've been clear the first time they died from hitting an ant.
Other than those small things, it was a really great game.
This is one of my favorite games so far. The tutorials are clear, the music is catchy ,the character is cute and it has entertaining mechanics. Congratulations!

Great job on this one! Really like the mechanics and it was just challenging enough to make me keep playing after I died. Nice job.
