found one glitch, I was able to phase through a wall when it was diaganol with an air column diagonally on it, by spamming movement horizontally, I phase through

Incredibly beautiful!
It's insane how you've managed to pull off this level of polish and art in such a short time. Well done! Took some getting used to, but very satisfying to sift through the air with pink rage!

LUDWIG WANTS A MUFFINThere like ninja and katana and stuff.. COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By far the best game in the jam. The controls are snappy, the gameplay is well designed, the sounds are BANGING and do I even need to say anything about the art. I m in love with it!!! Still can't beat it tho (shh)

Back to the nestA really nice game. Love the little story animation at the beginning and the Japanese in it. Did you make the fond for the main menu yourself? Also, on the square stones, may I ask what did you mean with the kanji on top? You wrote 右, which means "right". Did you mean 石 - stone??? Yep, I am a Japan fan, so you got me already with the theme :D

SaveKnightYeah, I really really wanted to add some music and sfx, but I just didn't prioritize my time correctly T_T
I also thought I could do the entire thing myself which was both a self imposed challenge of sorts since its my first time doing a solo game, and incredibly optimistic, lol. Glad you liked the game!
One of the nicest games in this jam for sure! The mechanics are really cool too, I just felt like the difficulty spiked a little too fast for me lol. But wow you really killed it with the art! Fyi the farthest I got was that pit with wind in the bottom that pushes you back.

Putt Putt Peakuwu so purdy good particles and juice. good weeb shit.
i think having some sfx [even crappy ones] for getting blossoms and some ambient soundscapes are cheap ez ways to _really_ elevate what's already here
overall very awesome job

Run Salmon RunThe gameplay is really satisfying, the sound effects help that a lot! It's a bit hard working out the direction of bounces and stuff, maybe being able to see the bounce trajectory would be helpful? I loved the artstyle and aesthetic. I'd love some nice background music to go with it, and maybe for platforms to be a little less slippy or bouncy? I'm not sure, but overall, really well done!

PainballI really like what you've done! In my head I expected slashing at the ground to end up throwing me in the opposite direction, but after a bit of trial and error I got it down!

Twitch Frog FrenzyYou have a really nice intro and all-around great art! The gameplay feels smooth and original it's very satisfying to dash around with a katana! I enjoyed it very much!

Fallin and BallinAmazing art style! I really like the mechanic but I feel as the the level design does not do the sword slash justice. Also i feel like the game suffers from a lack of movement options. I dont think that a jump is necessary but just having the option to walk left and right and maybe a very weak air strafe mechanic would benefit the overall feel of the characters movement. Remember that the more movement options you give the player, the harder and more creative you can get with the level design. Overall solid game and would love to see it further developed into a full length Foddian game!
As I wrote in my other comment, your development updates in the Discord really inspired me while working on this jam. For that reason and others, playing your game (and especially beating it) was an emotional experience. I also love the idea of getting quite literally bounced around by the world for someone you love -- the way this game punishes hubris while rewarding quiet confidence proves it belongs to the theme.

Phoenix, WRITE!Art is AMAZIN! Feel like music would help a lot! Also the slice sound is used so much would be nice to have some variation like random between 2 - 4 slash sounds. Apart from that really lovely game!
