Smooth platforming adventure ๐ŸŽฎโœจ.

GAMEPLAY
This game stands out with its smooth controls, gravity shifts, and a well-balanced amount of content across diverse levels. The enemy interaction, where players can throw them into pits, adds a fun layer to the platforming challenge. Also the ending was a fun one to send them into space ๐Ÿ˜„. The addition of a speedrun feature enhances replayability, adding a competitive edge to the gameplay.

ART STYLE / VISUALS
The polished cute looking pixel art creates a visually pleasing environment that complements the gameplay. Some nice particle effects also.

AUDIO / SOUND DESIGN
The soundtrack harmonizes well with the game's style๐ŸŽถ, while the particle effects and sound effects (SFX) enrich the overall gaming experience, providing a pleasing auditory and visual feedback.

THEME
The theme of broken physics is explored through the gravity shifts, a trick that, although not unique, is well-implemented in this game.

All in all, this game delivers a very enjoyable platforming experience with its well-thought-out level design, smooth controls, and playful enemy interactions. The focus on polish has indeed paid off, making for a highly polished and fun platform game.  Well done on creating a captivating platforming experience ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ‘!

Thank you very much for your extensive review.  I enjoyed making this game a lot and somehow I didn't have to fry my brain this time to finish it in time. Thanks for the kind words!

Nice game. I appreciated the commentary in each level about what's it's like to be a person with gravity reversal powers. Never thought to wonder how having such a power can affect a seemingly generic platformer character.

Fun game. Played the story to the end. It was nice to play a game with a story. 

I liked the little text's explaining new functionality (e.g "locked"  or "double tap") 

Sometimes it was not clear if changing gravity would lead you into a trap or a continuing path. So maybe here the level design could be improved.  Luckily the levels were not to long, so I could continue easily.

Thank you very much! Yes somebody else had the same point of improvement. I will definitely work on this after the voting ends.

This was fun thank you. I really found the walk animation disrupting. It took me out of the gameplay. But the idea and actually play were good. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks!

Wow what an incredible game! My best time is 1:16:52! I liked the two different modes, story mode is quite funny and speedrun mode is tryhard haha. The simplicity of the game doesn't really matter, because the art is cute, the overall game feels polished and the sound effects/music are great! Very well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much, and that's a very good time!

Quite nice! Really fun, though I do think putting spikes in spots where the player can't see them is a lil' unfair ;)

Developer

Yeah, I guess you're right. I'll change that after the jam. Thanks!

Cool game, ended up speedrunning it to 2:02:31, I like the fact that you can reverse gravity mid-air, in contrast to some other games with gravity in this jam. Good execution of this theme! Fun!

Developer

quite a fun game but feels very common since I saw a few other games execute the same thing. however, i think your's was the best execution.

Developer

Yes, it wasn't the most original idea. Since I knew this at the start, my focus was on game polish. Thanks!

Played and liked the game very much, I left you some feedback on the main game page :D

This is really cute! I like the sounds a lot, they're very fun. The art is nice and super clean - it's held back a bit by a lot of visual artifacts that I assume are engine related? They're not that much of a distraction though! I loved dumping all the enemies in the pits in level 8 :)

Developer

And I enjoyed recording the sound fx!  Yes, the artifacts are probably the result of the engine forcing the aspect ratio to be a fixed number. It didn't show on my laptop during development, but I can see it on other computers. I'll try to fix that later. Thanks for playing!
