This is a nice start to what could be a decent platformer.
I also make my own assets during the jam so I know the it increases the challenge because you need to allow time to create the art, sounds, music and the game, all within the timeframe.
As others have said, there needs to be goal to give you a target to aim for, and then you can probably add more levels. With the concept being close to ships in bottles, you could also add items you need to pick up that look like little sailing ships? Maybe that's what needs collecting to progress past the cork at the end (when you implement it).
Thanks for the game.

THEME wise, you've got a nice idea here - I like the idea of being caught in a bottle holding a miniature ship. I like that you have little pirates running around and I like that you've made these assets all on your own - producing art work at any level (especially if you are not an artist) is always challenging. So good work on this and the setup. I think a few things to consider would have been:
Good luck and see you next year hopefully for another GameDev.TV jam.
Thanks a lot for your constructive feedback and suggestions. I actually wanted to expand the game by adding a cork or cap at the end of the bottle by blasting that out using a puzzle and to jump on top of the bottle and go back to collect a piece and end the game or another idea was to move the bottle as a ship, but due to time constraints, i was not able to implement that.
Very cool concept! The visuals are simple but effective, and the idea of the bottle remember me to the ship bottles, I think would be a nice point in that way.
The small enemies roaming around are in strategic points and have a cute design, though it would have been nice to have a way to interact with them beyond just avoiding damage. The platforming itself is basic, but it works, and I can see the potential for more if the idea is developed further. Overall, it’s a promising little prototype with a unique setting, keep it up!
I couldn't quite figure out what to do besides jump around but I love the old school graphics / jump sound. I probably was missing something, I'll definitely give it another go if there was something I didn't figure out 😃
Thanks for the feedback :). I actually I wanted to add a cap or a cork at the end to exit out of the Level using a puzzle to force the player out, but ran out of time. You can only move within the level at this point.
Very cute graphics!
Thanks :)
