Some of your production values/talents are through the roof! Having talents so crazy crazy high in some areas (atmosphere, visuals, story) does emphasize areas where things may be missing or incomplete. As a player I can understand a certain level of disappointment. But this is a jam. We are all developers here and can give merit on what is there and understand the nature of a jam. So... How does it rate? Very very highly. Well done! Excellent stuff

Thanks for that encouraging feedback! It means a lot to get it from gam devs who understand. There are so many parts of building a good game even if you have loads of time. A Jam is somewhat unforgiving if you have no clue how long coding something or creating assets might take. Even with a powerful game engine like Godot. Tons of lessons in making the game for this. Definitely going to rework this game and re-release it.
This was great! A wonderful game by anyone's standards and even more impressive that you are such a young developer creative awesome work like this! I loved the artwork and the concept of the gam! I thought that the enhancements to the character made for a neat and dynamic and varied gameplay experience! Awesome work!
I don't really like the choice of font. The gameplay isn't that much fun and I don't understand why is there spose to be a weapon while there's no enemy or anything to shoot.
But, its not too bad for the first game. The art looks nice. Good job.
artistically speaking looks good, the animations are detailed and with good references and key animations.
Gameplay wise i didn't feel the difference between upgrades that much, and the transitions did not help there.
there is a strong concept here that needs some polish
Good game! A simple, fun premise. Could benefit from a little bit of polish, some transitions were disorienting. I like how you interpreted the theme :)
It was a bit on the short side but I really liked it. Keep up the good work :)
Like the music and the visuals and the way the character flips and evolves. but ofc same problem like the other with the background but still liked the game
Good art and visul effects but the levels are the same and the music doesn't fit but good work
Agree with what others said about parallax, but otherwise a nice game. I liked how the music synched up to the gameplay.
love the music and art, the parallax scrolling layer in front scrolls a little bit too fast for my taste though.
I think it would be better if the gameplay evolved with the character changing. i noticed you have a gun, but it doesn't have anything to shoot at, and the jetpack doesn't seem to work?
The art for everything is great! Though the frequency of the parallax layer closest to the screen was rather disruptive, so may be worth looking into reducing that.
I'd be excited to see how this evolves (no pun intended)!
Very slick gameplay and an impressive first game. You will make something big some day very soon. Keep up the good work!
Hi nice first game. I am also new game dev, but I'm not near 10. I am 4 times more. I liked your game. The sound got lost on second or third level. Keep it up.
