Wow this is something really innovative. Using window movement as control is a really cool concept and I don't think I've seen anything like this before. But as much as I like it, the control is really difficult to get a hand on. I can't really make some of the big jumps without the window sinking all the way below my task bar, and at that point I can't tell where the character is. I think all you need to do is do some tweaking in the acceleration numbers. Good work overall.
A very unique experience!
Unfortunately the game was really difficult for me so I couldn't finish it lol. I ragequited after the banana 😂
The controls is not at all intuitive, so I had to spend quite a bit of time figuring it out, but it was certainly an interesting way to control your character, I don't even know how do you manage to figure it out, so good job on that.
Sounds were fun and arts were nice too.
Overall this feels like a hidden gem. Not exactly a super polished experience, but certainly something more participants of this jam should try.
