Cool game! I walked away from it for a bit and kept singing the music. :) I liked how you had the gravity change on the jumps to pull the player steeply down, and all of the particle stuff you did was super well done too. I'm gonna have to learn how to do that! Great little game, I finished it, tho I was hoping for a boss fight!

Wow, that's amazing feedback! Thank you so much, this has made my day! :D
Thanks too for picking up on the small details like the jumping and particles - I put way too much time into them but I'm glad they had some effect, haha! Didn't have too much more motivation, energy, and time for a boss fight, but that definitely would be a cool idea - thanks! :D

Thanks for all of your feedback! I'm glad you've picked up and enjoy the atmosphere, and thank you so much for your comments on bringing this out further! :D
Hehe, I made it ^^
That was a very nice game, great job. As I was playing the game, I watched your making of video, it was very nice to see how you created your game. The musics were pretty good by the way ^^
If I had to find a flaw in your game, I'd say I find that the character is a little slow.
Bravo, for having done all of this in solo, I'm kinda jealous x)
Wow! It is probably the most atmospheric game I've seen in this jam. Nice color palette - I'm getting cold just by looking at it :)
The platform physics is really well balanced - on pair with Celeste and other iconic platformers. Music is nice (although, not very gameboy-ish ;) )And you even managed to put in a backstory!
Good job!
On improvements, I'd add a full-screen button with ability to zoom the view. Controls are fine, but I would prefer more conventional layout... Maybe Arrows + Space to jump and WASD + Right shift to jump. But this one is totally subjective...
Also, for some reason the top panel is messed up in my browser (Chrome 83 + macOS 10.15). The text is shifted and scaled into unreadable form :(

Wow, thanks for all your feedback! This is all greatly appreciated, thank you! :D Let me try and get through this bit-by-bit!
Thank you for the colour palette comment - I'm glad it worked! And yes, I was definitely going for a Celeste type of feel, so I'm glad you picked up on it! Thanks also for noticing the physics balance (I'm glad I got that right, phew), and yeah the music wasn't as gameboy-ish as I liked, but thanks! Also the backstory wasn't a whole lot, haha, I just thought it was a good tie in to the many adventure elements found commonly in gameboy-style games!
I've looked into some fullscreen stuff already, so thanks for that too! And yeah, I do feel the controls are a bit wack too, I just wanted to stick as closely as possible to the gameboy control panel with a D-Pad and 2 other buttons, but thanks! :D
Sorry that the UI didn't work - that reeeally isn't my strong suit. Thanks for mentioning it though, I'll try and find a fix! :D
