What great art and sound work, congrats! The idea of being limited both to the top and to the bottom is very nerve wracking and really puts the player under pressure! I felt the difficulty was a bit high too soon and didn't realize you could attack until later in the game, but nevertheless a great submission, good work!

Really nice game! The graphics is awesome! But the UI in "HELP" doesn't match with the image, and maybe you can create some level to guide the player instead of make them restart at the bottom again and again.

man those damn feathers. This got me in the way super meat boy did with the bandages, completing the level isn't enough, have to get the feathers too haha, brilliant addition to the game. My only complaint would be that it took me an embarrassingly long time to realise I had to jump into the block to destroy it, so maybe make the visuals more obvious on that one. I really had fun with this game

Great work, little tips for the future tho:

-Tell the player what keys and buttons to press, what and why certain UI elements are.

-Guide the player through the game, it was a bit tedious constantly dieing and restarting, all the way at the bottom. Also difficulty bit to hard.

this is really good! Platforming is good but also challenging, level design keeps bringing new challenges. Funny choice of music, hope it is legal to use it) I really liked the way it turned out. I only have 1 thing to mention:  it was at first hard to understand that you have to bump your head into the ceiling to  break it. Would be nice if those tiles stood out a bit more.
