The art is cute!

I think this would've been better as a high-score based game. Setting an explicit goal, especially so high up, only highlights how frustrating the gameplay is.

It's a bunch of little things. Not being able to move left/right for a moment after bouncing / jumping is annoying. The hitboxes on the bats are too large. The balloons were unhelpful and dangerous to use. The strange sideways strafe-jump. Just, so many little things that would be fine as a half-a-minute sampler, but are absolutely draining as a three-minute challenge.

There's a strange black flicker effect every time the level resets, after the fade in.

The audio is a tad loud. It was consistently peaking above 0.0 dB.

The donuts were cool!

All-in-all, good work. Congratulations on the submission!

I loved the intro cutscene for the game it adds a lot of character. The pixel art was well done too and the music using the dog's bark was amazing. Overall really good game you got here.

Great graphics and snice sound effects. But it’s too hard for me. I tried sooo many times but didn’t really reach more than 10% of the hight. maybe the bats should not kill you.

This was an interesting entry with nice presentation, but also kind of coarse around the edges. The ability to "jump" to the sides proves in fact to be a hinderance when a standard jumping function would've been a more natural choice. The soundtrack is neat but could capture the GB soul better.

The hitboxes feel really unforgiving! I spent way longer than I would like to admit on trying to beat this game and often died when I felt I shouldn't have, things trying to fall past a bat and dying because my white outline brushed against his wingtip. Though I also shoved half my head into a bird's belly at one point and didn't die, so I'm not sure what's up with that?

I agree with the others that the directional dash thing just made things harder, as it meant I couldn't jump while adjusting my position. But you've already heard about that, so instead I'll say: it's a big problem that the ending dog is placed in front of the enemies. I died multiple times because of that thing hiding an enemy from view - and even when I beat it and sat with my owner, starting to scroll off the top of the map (by the way it seems you can do that), I ended up floated into an enemy and killed! That's just not right!

I also got killed by bats in the space section due to not seeing them in time, as ... well, they're black, the background's black, it takes a moment to parse they're there. It may be good to give the enemies some kind of outline (just not a white one) so they're easy to see against all backgrounds. Also the balloon is a death trap in disguise.

All that aside though, the graphics are adorable and so's the music! I'd have preferred a little jump animation to the current spin, but I love the gradual dithering to different colors and the overall visual style is super cute. It was easy to tell powerups from enemies and having three jumps per jump gave me a lot of freedom in scouting out what was above me and choosing where to bounce from. And the fact I played this thing for so incredibly long without giving up, well... That's gotta mean something.

Absolutely adorable. Love the cloud shapes and the doggy music.

Very nice! Simple, yet addictive.

Also liked the music and barking itself, a neat touch.

Cool game! Would love for the game to just let me fall to the start, or try to recover as I am falling. The restart transition is a little jarring. 

Fun!

Super cute. This game is tricky but fun. The soundtrack slaps too

very fun game, well executed, maybe i'm a noob gamer but i feel like the difficulty is a bit overtuned, you can't see the enemy's coming above you so if you're unlucky you just bump into them. the grpahics and sound ooze gameboy soul. except for the spinning animation, that the gameboy couldn't do i think.
the jump sometimes bugs out and doesn't launch me upwards. and please include game controls in the description, it was hard finding out that L was the jump button, should have been Z,X,up or spacebar.

great game highly recommend if you're a gamer with fast reflexes.
