Good platformer, but It would be great if you lower the gravity (the "g" component) so that jumping would be smoother. It s good for your first game-jam!

How does the game fit the theme?
The game presents itself as a simple platformer and it seems that nothing can go wrong, but the more the player proceeds, the more he understands that something is wrong and that not everything is as it seems.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Very good platformer, loved the mixing of style in the art, good atmosphere, well done :)
Very good for a first jam! It's my first too :)
I would say maybe the movement feels a bit akward, with some velocity clamping and drag it would probably be easier to control.
Well done on your first jam! The movement felt quite awkward. Some said sluggish; I agree with that. Also, the twist part makes sense but it could’ve used a slower build-up perhaps.
It’s a fun take on the theme though, very innovative. Good job :D
Really cute graphics, tho the movement sometimes feel a little bit awkward. That's a nice way to start your first gamejam, i loved it!
Cool and cute game... I would have liked if the creepy parts of the game would have been explained better.

A nice game, but boy oh boy, do I not like those sounds... (So good job!)
Getting to the end in the last stage was quite tough, but I liked the challenge!
(I half in half expected to be executed right before I got the trophy XD)
Very well done for your first, game jam, so please just take the following comment as constructive feedback!
(I am bad at making my criticizing feedback not sound mean)
I felt that the controls are a bit difficult to control, personally I would have adjust them to be more snappy.
This would make precision platforming easier, which in turn enables you to create harder platforming challenges.
I assume you are just starting game development, and good movement is a very difficult thing to achieve, however I would advise you to check out "Platformer toolkit" if you haven't already. As it gives an opportunity to play with how you want your controls to feel. (https://gmtk.itch.io/platformer-toolkit)
Love it ! Simple, cool, and for me, it fits perfectly with the game. I love the design contrast between the monster and the little cute character. The red screen is also very nice, and the sound freaked me out great job !
I don't know if it's a bug but you can jump on the walls, and also what is this speed, it's crazy, but i this it's cool to have it, it add something to the game.
Reminded me alot of these creepy pasta games, like Sonic.exe
Got a nice little scare out of me, well done :)
Hey, good work on making a platformer I know that's always hard. It feels like there's a lot of issues of wall hugging and getting stuck.
The Spooky is really hard on the eyes in level 3 and that's where I stopped.
I hope that you keep on working on refining it and working on your skills. Great work releasing a game!
Very cool and genuinely creepy, i will say movement was very floaty but it does what it was supposed to. Good graphics, audio and simple level design. Good job
8.5/10 :)
The character is hard to control, especially when jumping—it can go ridiculously fast. Still, the style is really cool, it's visually pleasing, and the music fits well with the graphics.
some very cool moments of forshadowing, enjoyed the visual glitches, but the jump was very weird, the character can accelerate to crazy speeds while jumping, i flew of the end of the first level!
