This is an excellent submission. I loved the surreal art style. The player character's sprite and animations were especially good, kinda reminded me of Toejam for some reason lol. Also loved the big giants. I liked the double jump mechanic and the controls were explained well, sometimes I had to press jump and dash at the same time to get enough height for certain jumps which took me a sec to figure out. The game would benefit from some sounds. Overall had a lot of fun with this and was surprised to discover its your first game. Please keep making more :))

This game was neat! Especially for your first, the concept and gameplay were pretty simple but the whole aesthetic of this was really surreal and unique.
Cute fun game, I really like the little moving animation it is cool awesome and satisfying
It feels very good to play it, the dash is a little strange, but you get used to it.
It's great that it's your first game
This was a cool game, you should definitely keep making more games! I was super impressed that this was your first ever game. The only two things I would've liked was the ability to go fullscreen (not sure if that's a limitation of the engine you used though) and the text was a bit hard to read. Great job! :)
You know what, this blows my first game way out of the water. Looking beyond the oversights, the movement and platforming are pretty good! The dash mechanic is fun to use and time to reach higher platformers.. you say the double jump is a bug but it honestly feels like a feature to me!
Good job!
i liked the game, the art is pretty neat, quite nice for a first game, really cool on how instead of trying to patch out the dash storing upwards momentum it was implemented as a feature, i encountered one bug where when walking on the chains i clipped through them and fell into a white void and had to restart the game
