Really excellent job! The game felt very polished - I'm impressed you were able to get this much done particularly considering it's your first game!

I like that you took the time to include a backstory, I think that really fleshes it out.

And the sound effects and music were spot on.

Level design felt spot on as well (admittedly, I didn't make it very far haha).

One bit of feedback is: I think it might feel nicer to have the jump button as the space bar? Or something other than the up arrow. It didn't feel natural doing the wall jumps with the up arrow, I think the space bar or a button with the other hand would help?

Very impressive work for your first game. I thought the platforming from both and mechanical and level design was down well, albeit a little hard. I have a minor gripe with how the wall jump controls were set up (maybe have the wall jump automatically work with consecutive spacebar inputs) but like I said that is a minor thing. Art was charming and interesting and pulled together nicely with the music. Overall very well done!

Nice platformer, a bit hard for me maybe, died a few time over before I got past the first jump.

Never got passed 4 or 5th screen. the one where you jump on walls up and have pointy things in the roof.

Also didn't figure out what you do with the throwing stars. but I get that's a bit further into the game.

Great simple platformer.  Love the art, especially being your first game that's pretty impressive.  It works, it's fun to play, not much to complain about with this one.

My only critiques are largely just small things that could be tweaked to offer a little bit of a better experience.  The jump is really high and a bit jarring at first and the horizontal movement speed makes some of the platforming a bit tough but that's really it.  Nothing serious or hugely detrimental to the game, great job.
