nice game looks great good presentation
wanna say the game is too diffcult for my puny brain so couldn't finish it nevertheless great submission
"I wanna be the cat"! haha, I like the metroidvania elements to the genre. I thought the game forgiving, considering its difficult, but I confess I wasn't able to finish it (I think I accidentally got to the same area twice but with a jump upgrade and it became so much harder, but maybe that was intentional? idk)
Rather addictive, though, kudos for that. I spent way more time playing this than I thought I initially would, as I'm very bad with precision platformers. Good job!
Nice entry!
The controls feels good :)
Pretty challenging platform, huh?
The simplistic pixel art is pleasant and the background music is relaxing which is good considering the game's difficulty. The map is big and each room is memorable.
Unfortunately i couldn't finish the game 😿. I got stuck in this room. The big problem was that the spikes inflicts damage even in his not pointed side, which made sections where the path is very narrow almost impossible to get through.
Overall, was a great job!
I have to admit that I got stuck after finding the first key piece, but everything until then was very enjoyable. The game controls well and I love the intense challenge of the spikey corridors. I also love the metroidvania elements with the teleports and keys you uncover. A very good entry!
Cool game although I think you should add WASD support.
Great job!
Fun game! Love the platforming mechanics. There are so many levels, and each challenge is unique. I love the pacing of the game. Definitely a challenge. Good job!
I think the menu was life-saving after encountering a bug that caused me to clip through blocks and soft-locking me. Other than that, I got to the part where you unlock the bigger jump with 21 gems collected, but got confused where to go and accidentally repeated the jetpack section, wanted to return back to the teleporter but had reverted all my progress.
I think at that point I've had my fill, this was an amazing difficult platformer despite me not having the willpower to finish it.
a gaming masterpiece
Hi, impressive given the time limit ! Art and control are great. I dint finish the game, because it get harder and harder.
Rad game, though I had some issues with using the cursor keys for movement, as pressing up and down would scroll the page.
Really fun tight platformer!, I will say my biggest problem is that the only control scheme is arrow keys to move and 'x' to jump, which I prefer using my left hand to move and right hand to jump- I have a rebindable keyboard so it wasn't a big problem, but having it by default would've been nice.
Extremely fun to play! Nice sounding music to go along with it. Plays well and the art/assets used are aesthetically pleasing.
