It's a great concept - fun and quite challenging

I like the concept of a spin on the card-based and platformer genres, but the game could use a little more explanation on what "Dash" is as well some more visual feedback on what the sum of moves will actually result in. Also, mind the jam restrictions as you're placing your game outside of the acceptable set.

Thirty-Free TenThe core mechanic is potentially interesting, but as others have pointed out this isn't remotely attempting to conform to the creative constraints of the jam.

Expedition.You seem to be unclear on what "pixels" are, so I will try to explain. I apologize in advance if this seems in any way condescending.
The Nokia 3310 has a display consisting of a uniform grid of squares. The grid has 84 columns and 48 rows. At any given time, each square can be either a dark or a light color. It is not possible to have "half" of one of these squares illuminated; all graphics (including text!) must be drawn using these pixels as the minimum element of granularity.
Your game displays many objects at varying sizes which are not even multiples of a pixel size which divides your display into an 84x48 resolution. Objects move smoothly at "sub-pixel" intervals. Text is often scaled or animated in fine gradations which are not multiples of pixels and use anti-aliasing to smooth their edges. The background border of levels uses very finely-spaced lines which in practice appear as a different color from the proscribed 2-color palette. Even the introductory sequence of the game uses additional colors (black and white) beyond the palette constraints.
I hope this has helped clarify why your game has received criticism with respect to its adherence to the jam's aesthetic constraints.
Now, I understood, thank you very much for your explanation/feedback!

We used no more colours than the given colour pallet for the game rather than the splash screen.

This does count too?! :)
Interesting concept; a little like GORILLA.BAS of old, or Worms or similar. The trial-and-error gameplay can be quite interesting, although I still don't feel like I've fully grasped the difference between a dash and a move to the right. Fun to work out, though.
However, the game flagrantly violates the jam restrictions. An 84x48 game scaled up to 840x480 has to scale up the text too in the same ratio, and this doesn't; fitting instructions and the UI into the game window while sticking with the restrictions would have been a much more complex design challenge, I think!

Spacy Mazy 3310Thanks for the feedback. I don't think, the game violate any of the jam restrictions, specifically the resolution, because the game jam requires a base resolution of 84x48. Also, it gives the right to scale up the screen resolution of the game as long as the base resolution is still 84x48, and this is what we are having here. That's all, no more, and no less.
