Pretty cool! I like the shading and the minimalistic art! The controls felt nice, and you matched the theme pretty well! The levels that forced the player to not be able to jump felt a bit out of place, but besides that fantastic job! Would appreciate it if you checked out my game too :]

The game mechanics are complex but fun, it reminds me of Ori and the Blind Forest, great job!

Awesome, awesome game! The mechanics and level design are fantastic! Very well polished, and the level names / text are the most entertaining thing I've seen ahaha! I especially love the one where it says "waiting is bad," and as soon as I processed that it said that spikes popped up from the ground lmao!!! Fantastic job and best regards from another 15 year old developer, Charlie!

It was well made! Im not sure if this applies for everyone but for me i was hoping to reach some more challenging levels faster just because its such an easy mechanic to pick up and there isnt much happening to look at or take in apart from the mechanic inside such a minimalistic artstyle. This is just a small critique tho. It seems like its a well polished game :)

Really cool game! It's really polished and the mechanic is fun, though I found myself usually sticking in shrunk mode since I could just dash around

its a awesome game i like everything awesome job :)

It is beautiful. Well balance of mechanics, easy to control character midair. Sometimes dash is very weak. But it is not a big problems. Visuals and sound are beautiful. Good job!

Great job with this game! It was very subversive and clever. I liked it a lot.

Great game! I like the simple visuals and the main mechanic. I have a few suggestions though.  respawning should be faster.

That was just great. The bloom was amazing. The dialogues in the bg were funny. The art combined with particle effects was amazing and the levels really tested the platforming skills. Great game. I loved it! Thanks for the game!

Please consider playing and rating my game as well. I would really appreciate it! Thanks!!!

Really aweseome experience, the whole movement system felt like it had lots of options and I loved how the mechanics built on top of one another. A couple of caveats: a platformer like this, especially on the harder levels, will have lots and lots of retries, so having the loading time cut down to a tenth of what is was now would've been way more satisfying (think of Super Meat Boy's reload times, it's basically instantaneous). I also got quite surprised when jumping to the top of the level killed me, I would have like seeing that somewhere in text or in an earlier level. 

I also really adored the lighting, color scheme, sound effects, and the text in the background which all looked really polished and cool.

Amazing job!

great game. i didnt enjoy the levels that removed features you already taught, but i did enjoy it all the same.  this feels like a fully fleshed out game. hope to see more like this in the future

Well polished and pretty fun game :D I loved the jump reset mechanic and dash. But it felt uncomfortable  only using mouse to dash maybe chancing it to shift or space could be better but thats just my preference :d

Overall i had fun while playing great work :D

Funny game, i really like the way  it went. I would have enjoy to always have the whole movement possibilities in each levels. I can understand you want to try my patience but it's is also nice to let the player choose between following the rules and going for the challenge. If you test me let me beat the test :D

Really well polished game! I really liked the colour scheme and the overall aesthetic of the game, and the particle effects also worked very well in the game! Personally, I'd of preferred there to be some sort of wall at the edge of the screen rather than dying, because that led to some unnecessary last minute deaths. Other than that, the sounds also worked very well, the player controls were very snappy/smooth  and the core concept of the game was implemented extremely well! I had a lot of fun playing, and this definitely deserves rank very highly!

This was very nice! Even though I confused the controls several times lol Find my video review below:

Cool visuals, sounds and particle effects. The main mechanic was great too. :) It was also great, that I was introduced to the different mechanics.

I would have loved to see more interesting / spicier levels.

Overall nice game, good job :)
