Very nice game, had a lot of fun! Everything that I have a problem with you seem to be aware of because you listed them in your after the jam plans. The biggest things were that the ghosts were hard to see at first but I got used to it. And that it felt very unfair when I almost completed a level just to be catched by a ghost that just spawned in the door. Your fixes: "Allow the player to goto the next level if they hit the exit even if they've been caught by a ghost" & "Add a timer in front of the door to show when the next ghost will spawn" would fix this perfectly. Even if not a timer just a little indicator that would fit in with the game a little better. Yeah and the pillows were sometimes hard to collect.

Apart from that, great game, great sounds, beautiful graphics and overall fantastic entry. I like the double-challange that its a different kind of game on the way back.

Wow.  This is SO well done.  I rated you top marks on everything.  Stuck with the theme perfectly, sprites were all well done, tasteful (a kid and his pillow right?) I felt perfectly in control of him at all times, it's hard to get just right, but you nailed it.  The edge tiles and little wooden platforms were polished pixel work.  Great crossover transitions, and quick replay-ability of the levels.  The mild stress of the clock, and the difficulty was infuriatingly just right.  Took me 1029 to finish, lol.  GREAT GAME!  Even the credits screen was cool!

Awesome !! I really like this game, you have a good mechanics. 

Keep going please ! :)

The art is top notch and the idea is super original. Definitely one of the best games I've played this jam! The levels are well designed and each level is challenging enough where completing them feels rewarding. I have two pieces of feedback, though they're fairly nitpicky. The first one would be to make the color of the background text more visible. As it is right now, the instructions kind of blend in with the background so I didn't notice them at first. The other one would be to add a visible outline to the shadows to make the hitboxes a little clearer. Overall, fantastic job!

This game was a very enjoyable play! I was playing it live and every victory felt super satisfying! Honestly I really want to go back and speedrun it! The art was lovely too!

After playing, I learned the controls seemed much better on M&K, which made me want to try again with it. ;) The controller support needs a little bit more love. Other than that, I would honestly say it's a fantastic puzzle/platformer which can TOOOOTALLY reward the player for moving fast! 

If you were to make updates to the game, I would personally be interested in the speedrunning aspects.

Thanks for the great experience! 

such a nice idea. I've never played such version of there and back. It's a great great game. everything about it is good even the difficulty which is really really hard. and about the pillow there's a technique that you can throw the pillow under yourself in midair and bounce like a double jump. I don't know if it's on purpose or not but it's cool. I'm also a great sleeper and it's almost impossible to wake me up so  this game is actually my every morning reality. :))

This is such a different spin on the theme, absolutely amazing! Loved the visuals, music and sounds. Credits make it seem like you were gonna give up on gamedev but don't haha, this is very fun to play and well polished (I played the downloadable version). One improvement could be to do with placing the pillow as sometimes it was annoying to get just right. Well done with this entry!

This is extremely clever! And what a lovely color pallet! Make sure you firther develop this one, it has a lot of potential, congrats!

Really clever, and gets challenging very quickly with a good progression through the levels. Very polished and 'complete' for a jam game and something satisfying to play through.

Nice idea, love the art, and the level progression, but from level 11 it was really hard for me. hehehe

Love your game!

could you check my entry? I´ll appreciate it, Thanks!

cool idea! and its really well polished! actually the best platformer controls of the jam! and i really like the graphics. levels are varied enough. its very impressive how you did so much in a week!!

one of the bests of the jam! nice job!

Looks epic considering its your first game. Also I loved the pace and overall controls. I am new to gamedev too and using Godot, however I am having a hard time making Tilemaps look good. So overall, pretty great game.

Great game!!

Oh boy, well that was an experience aye. Fun little platform game, some nice mechanics with the pillow and the replay shadows.

The art was awesome, nice detail, some great depth with the faded backgrounds, and generally just felt like a really solid experience. Very nice work indeed, would recommend!

That was pretty impressive I cant lie. The artwork was amazing and the concept of avoiding your shadows and the pillow bouncing mechanic made this game so complete and fun to play. I also like all the different songs you had. The only thing I can really say to improve is the pillow jump height physics were a bit difficult to get down sometimes. Other than that I had a lot of fun playing this one. Amazing job! 

You fit the theme perfectly with this clever idea! The arts and sounds are very great. You might add more animations though. Having the ability to use a controller is really good. The ui is clean and overall the game feels really polished!

Thank you for your game, and well done!

Your game design skills really shine in this game. You slowly introduce new mechanics in clever ways with hints to help. The difficulty is very well balanced with incredible levels. Usually in games like this, I find myself getting frustrated. However, this one just felt like a challenge and really made me think.
I REALLY liked how you made it so you could not cheese the levels by standing still for a long time to make the shadows stand still later.

The game is super polished. The graphics are amazing. The way you credit the songs in the bottom left as they start playing is nice. The controls were perfect with no complaints at all.

I have no feedback for you. This is a perfect Jam Game in my eyes. Well done!

I really cant find anything to suggest, this game is so well polished!

Maybe make the ghosts a  little bit brighter to see, and also a countdown timer so the gohsts dont spawn out of no where to scare you.

But anyways, great game and well done!
