this was a fun one with a happy vibe and some cute artwork. Last level was the toughest, but I was able to sacrifice a Kaiju for the yellow balloon and then get through. Nice work!

This was quite simple but I enjoyed it, the difficulty curve I think worked well. Found myself having to think a bit in the later levels and died a few times but nothing egregious.

Some of the collision is a bit iffy with the player still stuck to ledges even when visually standing completely off the block. But it wasn't a major issue for my playthrough. It actually kinda helped in a couple cases with long jumps. Speaking of the longer jumps I would probably make them a bit closer together because some of them it honestly felt like I was cheesing the players collision box.

As for positives, the art and sound effects were good, and the levels had a decent variety and good introduction of new mechanics.

Good work!

I really loved the sound design—super cool that you created it yourself!

I also really liked how well you teach the player the mechanics (the blue box). First, you introduce it in a safe zone, giving the player a chance to understand how it works and make mistakes. That’s a great design choice!

The controls felt a bit tricky at times, which made some puzzles harder to complete. Maybe making the gaps a little smaller would give players a better chance to jump across.

 I’d recommend adding different states for the portal—closed until the players collect the balloons, and open after they’ve gathered them.

Overall, an awesome platformer for such a short development time. Well done!

it's a cute game, but it's very simple, it's reasonably easy, but I did die a few times.
