How does your game bring our theme, The Error is the Feature, to life?
Sprite layering was a bit cursed, so we leaned into it. Locked camera on x axis gave idea for verticality.

The camera wobbling constantly makes my head spin lol.
Art is nice, although I recognize that you are using mostly premade assets. Music and sound effects are ok, but I feel like the music is not very fitting for the vibe of the game.
The controls feel nice and snappy, but I didn't quite like how the ascent of the character actually feel pretty slow to reach the apex of the jump, and you have to hold down the jump button for a long time before you can clear some platforms.
Loved the art, it has some rogue-like feelings. Besides, I found the camera perspective so unique!
Overall, good job!
Very good pixel art. Liked the 'rage game' aspect of it.
Very nice art style. The blocks getting in front of character was a bit confusing. Well done!
Clever take on a platformer, and way trickier than it seems. Beautiful overall presentation, too. Well done!
