Really good fit for the jam!

Cool game, the controls are a bit rigid but it was great otherwise, it's challenging without being too hard, I like the font of the title and the art in general is good, nice job !

Premise + dash mechanic reminded me a bit of Dustforce. The art is very well put together, but I found the movement speed way too slow, I’m guessing this is to incentivise making use of dashing, but the level design was a bit too cramped in places like corridoors making it difficult to actually pull it off and zoom through.

Great graphics and fun concept! The dash controls were a bit weird, maybe doing Jump + Left or Right would more intuitive?

Very polished and fun. I am interested in how the combo mechanic (second hit hitting downwards) could have been used more significantly in the levels. Also, the boss fight was fantastic!

Janitor Joe is a good game! The dash controls really are counter intuitive, dude.

Nice little laid back platformer! Fun animations and sfx. Dash controls felt a little counter intuitive to my brain, but otherwise I really liked it! Congrats :)

Yeah, i would rather add a button to use the Dash instead but the gameboy control limitation does not give me enough for that. The other alternatif is to double-press the jump button which i found when doing fast Pace precision platforming activate when i don't want to. Post jam i Will definetly add a dedicated Dash button.

Nice game, albeit too easy and the music being too short gets soon tedious.
