- I really loved the puzzle platformer design! It felt more like a collection game than a connection game (the collectibles do build the connections, but it was more about picking them up), but I could see where the theme came from. The controls were great, the movement was precise enough it didn't irk me, as it does in platformers when it's not. I thought the art was really cohesive, but 1. the opening text was a bit threadbare and I think, could have been done to match the style of the game more, and 2. the antialiasing during character movement blurred the sprite a bit. There was also a bit of broken background scrolling on the left side of the screen now and then -- maybe the scroll loop not being seamless? But no doubt these are all things with easy fixes, and this game was already enjoyable, and I can see it becoming super good. Very cool! (The soundtrack was quite nice too, though a mute sound button is always a good idea.)

Music and graphics are really cool! The main character is gorgeous! Gameplay is simple yet fun. Well done!
Thanks dude!
The music fits the aesthetics really well. It was way more challenging than I expected at first. What’s for dinner though?

I finished it! Really nice soundtrack, liked the glow of the crystals on the platforms. The house art at the ending was my favourite piece and a nice reward for finishing.
If I would suggest one thing, I think the art of the tiles and the player are both great but don't quite fit together (the tiles are higher resolution?), so it would be nicer if they were consistent. Great work though, thanks for the game!
It's a fun little platformer definitly wanne see the coorperation of the sword to in the game! Tho as more say the moving platforms are very tricky! As also tho I did like the art but the ground just didn't fit in that well!
super cute and creative! i think maybe the parallax/ background animation is a bit too fast, especially when standing still! awesome otherwise!
Great animations & thought the art was sweet :D thanks for creatin!
Love the player animations. Had fun playing!
Cute game! I played all 5 levels <3
It's a very fun platform game, with cute graphics and a nice soundtrack.
