The game is very good!

Please change the life system to you don't have to restart the level each time you get hit (is made me rage quit...) ☺

Nice game! The movement feels a little slippery, as whenever I land after a jump I slide on the ground for a bit, this can cause me to slide into a spike and lose a life. Also about the life mechanic I think either there shouldn't be lives and just the player has infinte lives and checkpoints, or that there are lives but whenever the player takes damage they don't get teleported. 

Other than that I really enjoyed it! 👍

Thank you for playing, as with slippery part I think that was because of capsule shaped collision box, and about life mechanics I will try to improve it as I've got many complains about it 😅 Thanks for playing my game😇

Cool nice little platformer game. The movement felt very good as well as the air friction, however I felt it was a little hard with 2x speed (maybe it was too much). It has collectables and you return back to the beginning ("There and Back") even though the portal was just to finish game. Overall, I think it is an enjoyable and a little hard platformer game. Congrats on your entry!

All thanks to HeartBeast's friction tutorial because of it I was able to implement movement very well. Thank you for playing my game and I'll definitely improve on it from next jam :)

This game is pretty nice. I'd love to see a few more sound effects or some music in future, though as the jump sound gets a bit annoying. Overall, cool game. I'd love if you could give my game a go too!

What a cute little robot :) I liked how the controller wasn't floaty and the robot had good grip on the ground. Would have been cool, not to have to go back to the beginning every time though, that was a bit frustrating. But collecting cake is always a good thing ;D fun game!

Fun game! I like how the robot upgrades as you go, but I wish there were more upgrades. Also it was a very basic use of theme, but still a fun game!

Yes! By mistake I imported it in GLS3 instead of 2 so it is causing problem! I will take care of it in next jam! Thanks for playing my game😇 also I will improve on it in future.

Cute little platformer :). Being reset to the beginning of the level every time I ran into a spike was a bit annoying and I didn't really get why, since there was a heart mechanic as well.

It would be better if the spikes hitbox was smaller (not the sprite but the hitbox itself).
