The game has great vibes; I enjoyed the atmosphere and the music. The platforming was solid enough, but there was a lack of direction; I couldn't find the way to the 3d world after collecting all the mushrooms.
Great work!

Great idea! I enjoyed playing your game.
Does it ends when the music turns off?
I couldn't quite figure out how to make it to the 3d area, but enjoyed hopping around in the 2d space. You might want to give a little instruction page on which controls to use. Thanks for sharing!
Nice take on the theme, finding the portal and transitioning to 3d was a very cool moment! I spent a bit too long exploring the 3d area looking for some kind of secret to progress only to realize the game ends there, would've been nice to have some kind of indicator that the game's over. Solid game though, nice work!
Really enjoyed the artwork and the character animations! Movement was a tad slower than I hoped, but nothing too drastic that it would have annoyed me. Unfortunately after I collected all the mushrooms (I scoured the whole map and underneath the tree twice to make sure), I didn't know what to do, couldn't find a place, so I took a leap of faith and ended up dead and having to start again and that's when I stopped.
Obviously I've read that there is the 3D world but it eluded me for my gameplay completely :D I tried even jumping higher and a bit over the water and back to see if there was something there, but maybe I didn't try it well enough at some parts.
Great animations and artwork and good game for a weeks submission and most importantly you finished a game and also added some other dimensions (that I unfortunately wasn't smart enough to find :D)
Ps. music was fitting, but in the end started to get a bit repetitive, so maybe a bit variation on that or something just as a ending thought! :)
The artwork was cool and Liked the slide and death animations, I found the 3D world by accident but I couldnt figure out how to get out once I collected all the mushrooms. The general platformer experience was designed well, Good Job on this!
Nice art, i love jumping and sliding animations!
It was pretty hard to find a 3D world :-)
The player slides smoothly and has a double jump, which is a cool movement. It was a bit sad to sink though =(
I am completely satisfied with all the mechanics and the ability to grab onto ladders while in mid-air. You have thought well about what to do.
Cute game. Loved the animations, especially when jumping off a platform.
Very cute character! Didn't know foxes liked mushrooms! xD
The game is great, thanks!
Loved it! If you're interested in playing our game, here's the link: https://astral-creation-studio.itch.io/your-princess-is-in-another-dimension
Ok, so after reading the other feedback, i've found the secret answer (not going to post it here). Is the underground level the end of the game? I couldn't get out of there.
Overall, it's a well put together game, quite chirpy and good vibe inducing, don't mind playing such games from time to time.
well done!
I have collected all the mushrooms and jumped on every platform I can't find a portal. I like the game and especially the tiles they are well made. Would you try out mine and rate it according.
Thank you for playing. Something is out of place underground. Try all the arrow keys when you find it. I also hint at it with the title, cover art and you once more on L1. I might add some VFX, pixie dust or particles to make it more obvious in v1.1.
I’m trying your game now. Well done on getting it submitted before the deadline with 20m to spare. I’ve been there! :-)
I collected every mushroom and couldn't find the portal. I believe there is a 3d world out there, but I couldn't find it. Fun and innocent.
