Nice idea and game !

I find some problems about the difficulty:

I had to read the comments to see the 2 buttons and even after that I didn't get what to do in the first screen. The explanations comes after, in the level 1.

The first screen ("level 0") and the level 2 are way more difficult to pass then the next levels.
(Also, there is no difference between "Help" or "Start")

I think the level 2 should be before the level with the text "Flavor is Burst" because he's a bit similar and easy when you understand the mecanic but very hard if you don't get which path to take.

I gave up against the chocolate boss.
I didn't see the lifebar become smaller after a hit so I tough you have to jump to attack him above the paper...
Then I replay the game.
I find that he sometimes attacks without warning but mainly he requires too much hits !
After many hits his lifebar was small but I gave up cause I was then get hitted (by walking too much...)

I liked that the enemies change direction with the player.

Really neat game,  it's quite challenging, but the mechanics give real satisfaction when figure something out, I like it, even though I couldn't beat the final boss..

Changing direction on jump is quite creative, certainly it took a bit of getting used to but I thought the dimension it adds is actually quite cool.

If there was anything I'd change it'd be maybe to make the bosses healthbar larger and add some sort of effect when he take damage, I wasn't sure when I was playing if anything I did was actually working.

Would love to see an expanded version with more levels!

Love the game. Continue to work on it and on the next jams, please! So interesting game mechanics, but needs to be improved the controls.
Also, go to https://youtu.be/6HjwUHob07Y and comment where are you from and why you love games. That would be gratefull for me and I will be able to follow in all your social media pages if you comment there.

The jumping mechanic wasn't really working for me. But nice atmosphere. :)

Its a good idea but i would have made it that you can only change direction on a wall jump or something else und wouldnt map it to the jump button. 

The only thing i could play was the menu and a bit of the tutorial and even then i had big problems

Hard but interesting!

Unique idea  of using jumping and movement on the same button but some parts are very hard for me :( . Nonetheless its fun :D

Brilliant gimmick, but way to difficult for me. I only managed to complete the tutorial and part of the first level, but I loved it. Well done!

Great use of the limitation. It's a little bit confusing at first, but after a couple of button mashing, the rules became clear! Well done!

Even though I couldn’t figure out the controls for half of the game, It was nice after I realized haha :) Nice game

Submitted

I took me time to understand what controls were.

I agree with what ToaoMCL said. We don’t know how to start the game :( So adding controls or giving tips in how to start the game would be great!

Alright thanks for the feedback. I changed the menu a bit to make it easier to start, and I should probably add in the instructions there.

Submitted

Oh, nice! Thank you for this update!

The game was kinda hard and challenging! Good job! :D

I don't know if I'm in a position to give this a rating, I looked through the comments and found that space and f are the controls, but I still don't know how to start, I wasn't able to get to the start button and neither the help or start text did anything. I'm really sorry if there was a solution to this but I could only really assume that f was some sort of attack?

I also tried to download the windows file but it was missing the exe and i don't have a mac vm so I can't really try it there.

All I can really say is it's a good idea to add controls to the description and with puzzle games like this adding a hint or something to get started would be good especially if you know its hard.

Alright, is this better? I made the wall height lower so you can jump over it. I agree that it's a bit confusing.
