I really enjoyed it!

I played the latest available version at the time, V1.1.0. The controls are pretty solid, it felt pretty good to control the character. Maybe it's because I used the updated version, but I never had trouble performing double jumps or any type of controls. I also really dig the artstyle.

But the thing I enjoyed the most was the unlockable powers! It gave the levels an exploration element, serving as a reward for taking a different path. Almost metroidvania-ish. I actually was a bit disappointed that I only found 3 powers total (+ 2 MP increases), are there more? I was really looking forward to finding more movement abilities, but there don't seem to be any. Maybe an extra 3rd jump, or a special type of jump, or running or whatever. Also, the 2 attacking powers I had (fireball and the basic attack you start with) end up feeling a bit similar. Which is fine! They still had noticeable differences. But I was looking forward to another offensive power that had a different trajectory or behavior, instead of just "single projectile moving forwards".

I found a small bug where if you land just as your projectile animation is done you shoot a second projectile without having to wait for the end of the animation (and I'm pretty sure it doesn't consume MP!). But it's minor.

I see you have updated your game. The control is definitely much much more comfortable than when I first played it. Also found two power ups in my final playthrough.

I have recorded my footage playing it. Good work! :)

It's very polished and looks nice.

I wasn't able to finish the game though, because I'm not good at playing it (the enemies got stronger so it got a bit too hard for me after a while, so I gave up). The double jump is a bit hard to do, as well... Maybe in a future update, it can be made to be easier to do.

Polish! Holy cow! The art style reminds me of lazy summers playing Alex Kidd. The gameplay is solid, you have spells to collect (you know I found heal and fireball!), it's easy to index jumps even when you're offscreen. I only had a few issues with the double jump, but that may be due to my keyboard and inability to play on one, haha! I also caught a typo at the end where you said "game jame" instead of "game jam." No biggies at all.

You did the music too? If you're ever looking to join forces in the future (only if you don't have time to make your own) give me a call! I'm impressed with the absurd amount of work you put into this. Congrats!

I liked the concept and little exploration of this game! It was nice to see the slime getting harder as you progressed. I was so excited when i saw that i could climb up the tree and wondered what would be my reward, when i got to the top i thought it wasn't anything and accidentally fell to the screen on the left and saw it continued! I loved that. It is a shame about the double jump though i never made it to the end of the tree quest, although i saw it's been said a lot in the comments, however it may be a quick fix in which case i still really enjoyed the game :) The animations were good! Something i struggle with a lot

This definitely is one of the high effort submissions in this jam. Very, very very excellent art -- love it very much. Excellent worldbuilding. Good lore too. Cute game overall.

My little bit of complaint is the slightly clunky control. It's quite uncomfortable that the double jump can only be activated during the descent phase -- this leads to the double jump not activating when wanting to double jump in a hurry.

Also... the boss... I think it's way too brutal. Finally beat it after three tries though but still... it's way... WAY too hard (and people say my game's boss is hard lol). Firstly I think the boss should have half its current health -- after figuring out the necessary tactic to beat the boss, the fight is very monotonous, although extremely mentally taxing. Having that much health makes the fight a little bit boring. Secondly, keeping track of the giant nut is hard enough; also keeping track of some debris is... kinda impossible for me. Sometimes getting hit by debris when double jumping to hit the boss after making sure no nut is above me is just... cruel. I think you should at least contrast the debris a bit so that they're visible without needing to focus too much on them :(

Anyway... I'm going to make a let's play out of some submissions to this jam. Expect your game to be there ;)

I got it to run on one of my other old PCs! I forgot that I had installed Direct X specifically to run an old DarkBasicPro game I made years ago. (It still failed. RIP Darkbasic games)

I really liked the art and design in your game. The bright saturated colors give it a unique feel. Made me think of Commander Keen 4 and other platformers I haven't played in a long time. The main character has a cute design. The overall gameplay was decent but...

...unfortunately, to echo some of the other comments in here, the controls did not work well for me. I immediately gave up on trees, and the lilypads were nearly the end of me. The double jump just didn't work consistently enough. I got to the boss, and gave up after two tries. Between his high health pool, small hit zone, and the jump problem, it seemed unlikely that I'd be able to win.

Still, it's good work and with some bug fixing and maybe a little balance update this could be really great!

Double jump was hard, because control can be unresponsive sometime  (though I have the same problem with my game):(  
But it seems it work fine on wine.

I think this game is going to remind a lot of people of the 16-bit era but to me it really feels like a PC game from the 90s. The limited, bright colors scream retro and the music reminds me of my old Sound Blaster. I'm a big fan of that era so I liked the style and presentation a lot.

There are two things that kind of turned me off from the game a bit, though. I feel it overstayed its welcome a bit; it was really fun and fresh at the beginning but by the end it was starting to feel repetitive and tedious. I think it would be better with one or two fewer levels. But that's a relatively minor complaint.

The biggest issue is the controls, or rather how inconsistent and unresponsive they can be. Double-jump only works about half the time and usually I get one shot when I fire, but sometimes none or two. It's incredibly frustrating to play because of this- a game like this needs tight controls. I died a lot because of missed shots or missed jumps. If this was fixed then the gameplay would be really solid but that soured things a lot.

I made it to the boss, gave it two tries and stopped. There was no way I was going to beat it; I have to hit it in the head, dodge acorns that drop with no discernible pattern, and hit it a ridiculous number of times to kill it. I'm not great at this sort of game; I think I would have given it a few more tries had the controls been better but I don't think I would have beat it. I think a more skilled player could have pulled it off.

Also, tab to switch magic didn't seem to do anything. Was this simply not implemented?
