I also included this game in an article of my favorites here!

Really fun game! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the GBJam 5 games, if you'd like to take a look :)

[I wish I could reply to comments here, but I suppose this'll have to do]

Thanks very much, Sean! This jam has largely been experimental for me so it's good to hear about stuff that doesn't work so well and I do agree, the shooting doesn't 100% fit here due to the speed / screen size.

Your game looks rad as fuck by the way.

Nice entry! I found that the game was far too fast-paced for the shooting mechanic to be helpful though; I played by focusing only on colliding with enemies during jumps.

I noticed that the menu was kind of hard to interact with because it would pick up repeated button presses. If you do any post-jam updates, you should probably set it to only move on the first press.

The "prumple" palette was really nice btw.
