I really like this game, but I feel like it should be more forgiving when you die. It was really frustrating when I had to repeat multiple rooms because I died in an area that required trial and error. Other than that, this feels really polished and well thought out!

This game is amazing! I just wish dash was on a different key, alt is a really bad placement when you need to jump and dash, and there could be some visual indicator for when we have a harpoon or not. The jump could also have variable height according to how long we press the button. But I loved everything else, the graphics are really good and the gameplay is full of action!
I would really appreciate if you could also play and rate my game, I'm looking for feedbacks!
I loved that game.
The fast that controls are unusal is the only thing I would change, like shift or ctrl to dash is better than alt because you need to jump and dash with a single finger

Don't Make Any TroubleHard, but good! I will try to get over the tutorial because your screenshots show me there is much more to explore :) ...

Chaotic CatWell made! Nice jam entry.
I liked the animations on the enemies and players. Those all felt really smooth. I never quite got used to the controls. It all felt a tiny bit floatier than I wanted, resulting in a lot of platforming frustrations. However, the larger frustration was the checkpoints. Dying in one hit on a screen you've never seen and being forced to go back to the start almost made me quit the game at the tutorial level. Is there a reason it can't be a room my room checkpoint? There's merit to making things difficult, but combining tricky maneuvers with one-hit deaths that make you repeat the tricky rooms again feels bad. Also, I had a few deaths where bullets from past rooms followed me and hit me when I was trying to assess the new room. That was super frustrating.
Overall, this is a super well polished jam entry and a great little game. Well done and congrats on completing the jam!

Can Hippos Achieve Outer Space?Hi.
Firstly, I would like to thank you for your complet feedback :).
I can understand the frustration you felt, but I thought and designed the game to be a die and retry from the start to the end of the conception, and I’m not really in those who want to decrease the difficulty of a game made to be hard and where one of the main point is mastering a part to clear it really fast after a few try.
I knew that lots of peoples would have quit before finishing the game, and that’s why I implemented a level selector.
Otherwise, I hope you liked, and thank you again for all your comments! :D
Thanks for acknowledging the feedback :)
I should clarify that this type of game is appealing to lots of folks, but for a jam game where players might only be willing to play for a few minutes, it's a tough sell. I see a few other comments about the difficulty and checkpoints, but that's probably because your audience is primarily jammers. Still a well made game. Good job!
This game is really cool! I love the mechanics! And there is definitely chaos!
A couple of hints: I would substitute the alt for dashing with ctrl. Alt is not so ergonomic while moving with WASD, ctrl it is.
And, I would try to force a little bit more people into combat, most of the scenes can be won only by running and jumping around.
However, the game is extremely good! Nice job!

CHAOS RETURNALAbsolutely completed game with well-designed gameplay, greatly animated character. In short, awesome game! Ohh yeah, sound is awesome also.
Because of this game is one of the best I played on this jam, I will let myself some criticism.
Controls seemed a bit hard for me, Alt key for dash and Space for jump - uncomfortable. Mouse also not needed, especially for melee attack. So I would work on control system. Also Chaos theme not shown as it should be.
Anyway guys, thanks for this game, it's inspiring!

Potion PanicNice game with great graphics, I love how every weapon has a little charging animation before firing; one thing I can complain about is that I feel like the controls are a bit impractical on keyboard :\
