Thank you very much! In the post-jam version I'll probably distribute the powers in several levels, so the player will have more time to get used to each power. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you! I was a fairly easy to fix bug, but I was 7 minutes too late to post the fixed version xp

Thanks for the cronstructive feedback! I'll try to improve it for the post-jam version :)

Thank you very much! I made all the graphics, sfxs and programming and my brother made the music and level design. I didn't sleep much during the jam though hahaha :)

Hey! Musician/level designer here. Glad to know you noticed it, your comment made my day! :D Actually I was meant to only make the music for the game, but we where running out of time and I ended up making all level design in the last few hours. It was my first time doing level design, so it was really stressful to make it so fast!
Hi! Musician/level designer here. Glad to hear that you liked the music! Comparing it with kirby is a very good compliment! :D
About the checkpoint.. Yeah, I misplaced the last one so it wasn't working. :( Too bad, if you die in the last screen, the game sends you back to the toughest section. I only noticed it after the voting phase started. We already fixed it for a post jam version, but it seems to bother a lot of people here (and with good reason).
Anyways, thanks for the feedback!

Thank you! There's not much I can do about the controls, it's standard for pico-8 (you can also use C/V or N/M instead of Z/X)... I didn't know about different keyboard layouts, thanks for the hint. You can use a controller in pico-8 games too, in case you play another one later :)

Glad you liked it! Pro tip: If you like one the weapons more than others, you can skip the other pickups, so you stay with your favorite weapon. ;) Though you have to stick with the first weapon until you take the one you like. If you like speed running, I recommend taking spike imunity, then jet pack. :)

Thanks for the feedback! All 6 forms have a platforming ability: Elec has double jump, Bomb is immune to spikes, Jet can dash in 8 directions, Boomerang jumps high, Magnet can stick to walls and wall jump and Laser has infinite flight.
I just checked, finished the game once with each ability, just to be sure...
Other than that, maybe you died and lost the abilities... That is a bug, it's mentioned in the game page... I fixed it just after the jam locked entries :(

Thank you very much!
For the water, effect first I pick a bunch of random points on the water area, and copy the color on the opposite side (same X coordinate), with twice the height (Y coodinate). Indicated by the red lines.
Then instead of drawing points, I draw a line that keeps growing and shinking like a sine wave (green). Something like "width=sin(time)*5".
After that i'ts just making them move horizontally to make it less static and make the "closer" waves wider than the "further" ones to give a little sense of depth.
Hope this helps :)
