Really love the way platforming feels in this game! The puzzle/level design is solid as well. I also appreciate the drop in difficulty compared to the typical Case Portman game, I actually felt like the challenge here was perfect for my level of skill. Overall I enjoyed this a lot!

Very fun all around! A great gameplay mechanic that really makes you plan out your moves, fun puzzles around getting stars, and the graphics and visuals were seriously amazing!
One thing I will say is that I wish it were possible to heal somewhere within one stage, as I lost two health points right at the beginning, and then later died towards near a door and had to redo all my progress for that small section, despite the fact I lost that several doors ago.
All in all though, very fun game, there's definitely a very nice difficulty curve that teaches you how to accomplish something before it throws more at you. The level design is great, the gameplay is unique and fun, huge props for this gem of a game!
Thanks Skyler, that's some great feedback! I couldn't agree more with the health points and replenishing, I play it back now and wish I did that too! Hopefully I'll update the game with a better health system. My only other regret is not having enough time to implement a save/level select system. Thanks again!
Really polished and fun game. The gum sound effects also deliver an additional satisfaction when performing the actions. I would support a full release!
Winner imo. Music, gameplay , everything, is just spot on. A Switch release please!
I am really impressed by this game. The mechanics and level design is perfect. When you think you master the trick, new mechanic is introduced. You never get bored of playing this game. I agree with the comments below, you should definitely make it a full game and release on consoles. I would pay for it. The graphic and music are excellent as well. Can't believe it was made in a game jam. Thank you for showing me how high the sky is. I will keep learning and hope one day I may achieve your level.
Good graphics, lots of collectibles, good music, fun mechanic, what more could you ask for?
Amazing game!! I beat it and unlocked something (Spoiler?)!
The graphics are fantastic! Gum color pallete fits perfectly. Music sticks to the head like gum (tu dum tss).
I didn't find any bugs or anything that interfered with the gameplay.
Great Job!
