Great job on this one! Levels were short and respawn quick, that held frustration down. The game is quite difficult! I think hitboxes are a tad off, I'm sure I didn't get hit every time I died. In the end I couldn't complete the level where story started picking up. I'm intrigued how it ended.

Suggestion: maybe holding A and W should propel you direct upwards (as they control corresponding propels that would be logical). If it feels too easy, maybe have it work for a short period of time. Also some particle effects for getting hit would be nice.

Fun and simple concept, and great execution. I actually like the inverted controls, it makes for a fun challenge. I kind of wish there was a recovery mechanic for some things instead of instantly dying all the time though. Like if the clouds sent you spiraling a little or the wind gusts blew you and only the projectiles killed you. But I suppose there is a nice simplicity to the way it is now. Well done, needs some music though!

The direction control is not that easy to handle, but the progressive increase of the difficulty from one level to another makes it easier to understand. I've never hated that much clouds :)

I like the unique story in this one, it's definitely more original than the standard angels/god stuff me and most others did. The gameplay was the most enjoyable from all the ones I've tested in this jam. If I had to change one thing, the text seems a little blurry at times. Good job!

Thanks for playing! I didn't pick out a font, which kinda sucks. I played your game and it's great!
