Very fun albeit challenging game, the art is really good and you can hardly tell it was restricted to just 4 colours. Really enjoyable, although I did die an embarrassingly high number of times haha

It was great to see this project grow! There's a lot here already. The graphics and UI are very nice and the sound is decent too.
I'm still not sure if this game really gels well as a rage game. It really doesn't communicate the fact that it's supposed to be one. And the controls are still too twitchy. Slow the character down, give it some momentum and lower the gravity. You still fall like a brick.
Overall, it was fun though!
Controls kind feel stiff but otherwise movement felt fine. I feel like state changing for the water is finicky; when I tried to jump from one stream to the other, sometimes it wouldn't register that I was back in the water and I'd just fall all the way back down or into my death. Otherwise your color palette was really nice and aesthetically pleasing to look at.
Nice job!
Fun and great concept! few things
Sound. Wish the music was more 8bit sounding to feel more Gameboys'. but i know not everyone has the ability. Sounds in the game however were perfect.
Graphics. Some of the graphics looked beyond what would be possible on a 160x144 screen pixel density. The light beams looked way to clean on the edges to match the rest of the aesthetics of the game. So they felt a bit out of place with the rest of the graphics.
Nice! The main mechanic is really cool, especially when you start making the lights move. As some others said, I think the movement could be a bit more smooth, especially the transition from in-the-light to not in-the-light.
I like the concept in your game! It's very nice. However the controls should be a bit more smoothed (in my oppinion). But if you did it this way to be hard, it's perfect! Haha
Good game, dude! Good game.
Liking this game a lot! Its quite difficult but a lot of that stems from the player speed feeling a little too fast and out of control. Just took some getting used to, but one thing I would suggest is having variable heights you can jump at (like a half jump or short hop) instead of always jumping the same height. It made some sections feel more arbitrarily difficult. Overall really great game!
