The jumping mechanic of the game is really weird, and I couldn't jump past the spike at level 2. I think there's a few bugs where I can't pick up more than one item, and I saw that you made it harder and players have to restart to level 1 every time you died, which is personally I think is a bad idea. Just let the player restart the level, and give him more hit points.

That said, the background story of the game seems interesting and good job on that, paired with a nice audio compilation too :)

A lot of things to say here !

Physics are a bit weird, sometimes movement would not respond, and jump is kinda weird too. Music is great for something made from scratch. 2D assets are OK.

There is toooo much to read ! If you want your player to feel invested in the game, try to make things pop out, interacting with people, or make levels to make them understand how to play ! A bit too much text.

Overall, still a game that was worked on, and that fits the theme. You know have to polish the details !!
