Pretty fun game, and nice art.

Great concept and was fun, but I think it would be a lot more fun if everything moved faster, currently walking felt extremely slow and the enemy moved slow enough to where its really easy to dodge.

Fun take on plaformers with having to go back to the start - I'm not that knowledgeable on platformers but it seems original! Really permits exploring the level in depth. Main character is simple but cute, animations for death and in end screen gives personality. Music and other assets fit well, good curation. Had fun::

Congrats on the jam submission! Cute art. I would say that while you can loop around the enemy to avoid him, it's not necessarily the only way to avoid it Maybe you can make it so that you have to loop around the enemy to get to the next level. But it's a good start. Well done!

Aww! Thanks!

Great start, would have loved to see another mechanic or two!

Cool stuff man. I like the "derpy" walkin animation :D. Just maybe tone down the winning noice because it was really hard for the ears. The walking speed could also be a bit faster because it got on my nerves xd.

I like the idea, though I think the whole game would benefit from being a little faster (walking, gravity, and the angry spirit) to raise the challenge.

The inside of the ruins are a bit bland, but I did like the transition to outside at the end, that was a very cute ending~

I love the animation for blobby! I got pretty good at dodging the spirit which was fun. I often struggle with good level design, but it was very well done in this game. Really like this idea :3

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed it! I really like the concept and how you incorporated the theme. The only thing I would can is the speed as it is way too slow, but all in all, Well Done!

Submitted(+1)

Interesting game! Dodging the spirit was definitely a challenge, but I'm interested in how you interpreted the loop as being the maneuver by which you avoid the spirit. Great stuff!

Submitted(+1)

Pretty cool game! My biggest problem was that I didn't enjoy the controls very much. Even just having it so that the player could change how high they jump depending on how long they hold down space bar would have gone a long way. Still a fun game, and it was fun having to find a way to loop back to the beginning in each level :)

Submitted(+1)

I thought the concept was cool and the level design was very well done. I think that the spirit was difficult to dodge in ways that were frustrating, where often times I would get stuck. I think if the controller was smaller, faster, and more forgiving some of the levels would've worked a lot better. Really well done idea and levels though, I had fun!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game! Really like the little balloon guy artwork!

I did find the floatiness of the character a bit frustrating. It makes descending a lot easier, but climbing back up felt really frustrating.

Thought the difficulty curve and level design was really well done. I was able to make it through all the levels but I definitely had to retry some of them a handful of times

Nice game, not much to add:)

Submitted(+1)

Nice! I like dodging the green fireball thingy :)

Submitted(+1)

had a good time :) that green fireball is relentless! 

Submitted(+1)

The artwork in this is really nice!

The character controls a bit sluggishly - you could add more gravity when falling to make the jumps feel less floaty (I'll link a video I really like about that below if you're interested - it can be applied to godot as well)

Still, great job!

Submitted(+1)

I like the concept, but I didn't enjoy the movement as it felt like I was dragging the character along.

Sorry, can't play the game, 'cause it's blocked by win defender. Please, ping me back if there is some way to try it.

Developer

I'm sorry to here that!  I'm not exactly sure why it got blocked... Is there a way turn it off while you download it?  I don't think there's much I can do now that submissions have closed.

Submitted(+1)

Turned it off to play)

Really interesting game and cool approach to the theme, I played to the end. I liked slow platformer and the idea of going through the level from start to end and back. Platformer itself is cool, very smooth, I didn't have any issues with jumps. Also it's cool that you've created so many levels. The winning sound was a bit too loud) Overall, good job!

Clicking "More Info" -> "Run Anyway" worked for me
