Show de bola o joguinho man!
As transições de menu, as animações, o gameplay, toda a experiência do jogo é daora, fluida e agradável, me peguei vidrado jogando aqui. 

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho 🤙🤙

Like everything else in this game, the new difficulty settings and checkpoint functionality are super well implemented. Congratulations!!

The execution is pretty clean and very well made, same as the artstyle with an astoundishly nice pixelart.

On feedback perspective everything is communicated well without unneeded explanation, contributing to the fast "pug-n-play" nature of the project that immediately throws you into challenging levels

I really like how you used the small amount of game mechanics you introduce so inventively! I like the artstyle, and I think new levels with new mechanics would be great. Although I think the timer may be unnecessary, it forced me to collect all the coins first and then the key.

The game very well made and really fun to play. Each level makes you think on how you solve it and its very rewarding doing so. The controls felt nice and it looks amazing. One of the best games!

Nice game, perfect level design

If you have time, try our game

Wow this game is incredible. don't know where to start. It is like someone took the addictive quality of pac-man and added the well crafted and carefully well thought out level design of super metroid. All of the environmental hazards are in perfect support of the movement constraints on the ghost and the maze puzzles, and there is a good build up and in game tutorial aspect. 

The polish of the visuals is very nice and cohesive. The animations and sounds fit in very well. I felt like the timing of the spikes was tuned so that even if I pressed the direction buttons faster the animations played like I had just narrowly escaped death and that was a nice touch. I never get bored of the looping melody, and having just composed a tune thats arguably too busy for my own game, feels like I just got a masterclass playing yours ; ). 

I have only made it to the second or third key I think, died a bunch of times, but got a real sense of accomplishment when I found the right traversal strategy to let me pause enough. 

I'll agree with others that the game punishes you very harshly for hesitation and that is challenging and also kind of part of the draw. I still haven't reached the point where replaying the same sections got too old though, because the threat of dying doesn't go away, so it became a challenge to 'speed run' through the level again without making unforced errors.

I'm also not someone who does as well with games where you have to be quick with your button pressing or execute long sequences with the right timing (I'm historically a fighting game button masher and game genie junkie), so selfishly I'd like to see more elements which are about the pre-planning strategy and multiple traversal/exploration aspects that I was already seeing so far. Like more Mario and less Super Meat Boy I guess for a cliche analogy. That being said, this is already a perfect version of what it is, so mad kudos to you Mr. Raimondi.

There are a few games in this jam that are really polished and noticeably closer to being a game that could be shared wtih the larger community - this is one of them! The MC looks good, and was animated well. The audio is subtle too.

The gameplay is fun but it is hard haha. Kudos to you for crafing those levels! It took me a while to get used to each one. To be fair, my primary gaming genre is JRPGs so reflexes are not my strongest point lol.

The timer when you get the key kinda guaranteed I had to play the level again haha. As I mentioned before, reflexes aren’t my go-to gaming skill so I got better with practice, but it was frustrating to do a mad rush after I would think through my movements in the previous rooms. After many deaths, once I did make it I felt satisfied. Good work!

Wow, nicely done! I found the difficulty to be really challenging though, even on Easy the delayed spring trap was REALLY fast. You should tune that a bit for people that do not have lightning fast reflexes.

Apart from that, most polished experience I saw so far in the game game, count me impressed!

Soo, after playing it last night and for like 3hrs today this game easily consumes focus and losing track of time! The learning curve is really fun, the areas I had to repeat a lot due to dying/running out of time I managed to get really fluid at completing; which was an awesome feeling. 

The game's visuals are amazing! I love the animations (particularly when you move around as the ghost). I think the traps have been well designed and you can tell the levels have been thoughtfully constructed and play tested. Plus the audio is great, it's subtle but does a lot for setting the atmosphere of the game. You can feel the effort put in to this!

I haven't managed to beat the game yet, just because I had to take a break. But after getting to stage 6 (I think?) I have the following comments :

• Save and continue: This would be really nice/important, since when I had to get off it was a debate about whether I wanted to go through the previous 5 levels again [I know you've listed this on the whats coming, just flagging as a priority in my eyes]
• Red Spike Up Time: Because of the pace of the game there were times where I felt the red spikes, after I passed them, stayed up slightly too long. It was particularly noticeable with the square motions where you have to go over the same spike you land on to start the movement. The spikes stage up so long that if you try to do a full "circle" you hit the first spike. And given pace of the game I found it had to look ahead, so it took me ages to realise corners are a safe spot, and I only found that out because I miss press and didn't die. (Could just be my opinion but I kept wanting spikes to drop quicker breaking the fluidity/vibe a little)
• Checkpoints + difficulty: I think as I mentioned last night still stands. I enjoy playing it is right now, which i think I'd called it "hard" mode. Just needs the save option. But, would definitely benefit players overall.
• The timer: There is something about this mechanic I like and don't like. I thought about and what I've come up with is:
  - The timer mechanic is fun to challenge the user when they know what to do, but it makes it really hard to learn what to do. Stage 5 emphasized this to me where I ended up getting to the last manouvre and took a screenshot so I could learn what to do, since I didnt have enough time for proper look-ahead due to the timer.
  - The timer I think should be placed in the difficulties/y above hard I feel or give players the ability to analyse the level prior (refer to next point)
• Stage 5 & 6 made me want a way to see the whole level to answer things like "how big is the level?" "how long will this take me?" "where is the key?" "what path am I meant to take?" etc. Particularly where the key is and to see where I have to go with the key. Some ideas I thought of, a) a way to toggle to see the whole map, or b) at the start of a map you do a cinematic wave over the level (Which also helps highlight the importance of the keys to players early). Combine either of those with a visual spot on the map which players can know is the goal location (disabled until you get the key). I think b would look nice, you could possibly do both - just some ideas.

Very well crafted! I've added it to my list of favourites from the jam and will make sure I finish the final level. I'm looking forward to the QoL updates, difficulties and more levels ^.^ 

Hi,

Great game.
Excellent music.
Excellent puzzles.
For me it's perfect.
My best compliments.

Hello!

I really enjoyed this game! it is probably one of my favourites in the jam. I didn't find any problems.

overall the game was fun, the visuals were great, and I would dependently recommend it to others!

Wow , Excellent game . One of the best. It was little too difficult for me, the final level took me more than 200 tries but still loved playing every second of it. Hoping to see more levels and characters. 

It's a really nice game, with a lot of potential !
