The art style is pretty cool but I think there should be more visual cues to know where to go. Right now I think that they all blend together too much.

Good art style and absolutely lovely music. Perfectly fits the theme.
Sometimes platforming is very punishment, I felt from boss room right in to beginning location.
I map controls to gamepad via joy to key and it make my experience much better.
I just love the art and animation. Also, did you do the music? Because it's awesome. The trigger points changing the camera colors was a nice touch. The platforming was hard but good. But everything pales in comparison to how you used the theme and created a really good art style. reminded me of fancy pants adventure.
I really just want to say wow! This is a great game! You've got a nice platformer controller, a fun (if sometimes slightly hard to see) artstyle, and great music (especially the town theme, I loved it)! Though I almost always go for an electronic style myself with music, the acoustic music works wonders for the feel and style of this game, very well done!
Love the artwork and the amount of content you did in a week is crazy :D
Even tho in the description you mentioned youre bad at art i really think this is an artistic masterpiece. The way the colors change and the weather changez it gives off a super nice vibe. I love the concept and i think you should keep working on this possibly as a commercial release?
Rated 5 stars.
Hehe, thanks a lot for these kind words :) Sometimes i am better at these things than i actually realize :) I really wanted to put all of my skills in its current state to use, and that is what you experienced in this game. I want to improve in all these area's. Making games is deffinetly a good way to get motivated to do so! A commercial release has not crossed my mind yet but who knows, maybe i will :) Thanks for making my day :)
Acoustic tracks in a game always gives me a smile! Some bolder drawn lines and rearrangement of the platforms would do wonders here!
Nice art style! Very hard also, if you fall you have to start all over again xD
I loved how the game looks like a sketch book :D. Controls were responsive and nice so that a point from me :D My only issue is that i kept falling while climbing up maybe adding a checkpoint system can make the game a bit easier.Other than that it was dashing and kicking around. Overall great game :D
Thanks a lot :) It was actually a design decision to sometimes fall back to the area below, however at some point you obtain dash or double jump and then getting back to your original spot gets easier. I decided early on that i was not going to include death mechanics, this was my way of introducing some difficulty. thanks for your review, i will check out your game aswell :)
