The no jumping mechanic is really difficult to pull off. I really like the graphics, looks really good

Lovely game! From the screenshots I was expected some boring platforming assets, but the sketch-like hand drawn graphics looks very nice. I also really appreciate the double theme interpretation! 

 Although some levels were a bit hard to figure put (was stuck on one of the level because I keep messed up the platforming), the fact that each level actually built on previous mechanics was really cool.

Very nice game! I love how you’ve integrated bugs in so many different ways! And the in-game tips are perfect!

Nicely done! This game reminded me of a game called Braid. The concept is a neat one and I rather enjoyed getting the hang of the net mechanics. The float of the jump floating was just right. Got a bit tricky later on. I really wish there was music and sound fx though! Puzzle platformers are definitely a genre that’s hard to nail and you really sold the idea.

Hello, just played the game and it was really fun, though it lacked audio and SFX, but I did love the art, it made me feel oddly calm. I loved the puzzles, though the one where your jump got wiped away did confuse me a lot. Great experience!

Polished fun game overall. I like the idea of adding double jump using the net.

Double theme interpretation, well done. I like this idea very much.

The quality and polish of this game caught me off guard, in a good way. The hand-drawn style of the art is simple yet charming. The levels are properly thought out to makes good use of the creatively designed mechanics. I especially like the net 'dash' bug as I have encountered it in the past.

The only thing lacking would obviously be the audio, but it's a game jam and the mechanics more than make it up for me. Great job on the game!

Love the art style and concept behind this. This game does a great job of crafting a good user experience with the tutorial set-up.

As mentioned in previous comment the physics of the net/jump made it a bit difficult to navigate at times. Despite that this is definetly one of the top games i’ve played!

Great job - all the effort put into this really shows, very polished! c:

Really nice art. The net physics seems to be a bit inconsistent and it took me a while to clear some of the jumps. Overall good job!

My favourite mechanics yet! I like the glitch effect on the title, and the bugs, but the game could use more audio, juice and effects like these, here is a video explaining what I mean: 

This game is a neat mix of puzzling and platforming,  awesome!

Thanks! And I'm definitely going to try to use that advice in any future games I make, that was a great video.
