How does the game fit the theme?
The game has the objective of rescuing the princess, while running through dangerous obstacles and hazards, the player becoming a hero in the process.
Certain enemies can be helpful, just as much as they can be deadly, a risky yet rewarding maneuver.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Took me straight back to the old rage flash platformers of yester year. Unfortunately broke when I died on the second screen and a few obstacles seemed to glitch when they killed me. Otherwise, a fun throwback!
Thanks for playing! There's currently a bug where the audio completely phases out after sometime playing, unfortunately I didn't fix it on time. Not sure if that's the bug that you experienced, but just thought to mention!
I didnt get past second screen. I dont think im the target audience for this type of game but still. Maybe there was something i missed but it seems like the times when the spikes fly is random each time. If thats the case it goes against the core premise of these type of games. When every death is random it becomes cheap deaths insted of deaths because of my own mistakes.
Art and sound is solid and movement was tight.
You're game is very challenging and a bit hard. but your game was great
I love the enemies, and the varied level design~ I didn't do too well, but I'm bad at platformers haha The pixel explosion when you die is super neat!
I am certainly not the hero but I'm a fan of this game all the same
Nice game! I wasn't sure what killed me after the first try then I notice the flying dot.
