Wow super funa nd nice art.  I definitely think the tutorial should be mandatory tho.  on the first level, you can fall to the bottom without dying if you hug the cliff.  So I did that and didn't get what the point was and almost quit right there.  Really glad I played the tutorial though because it was super fun!

One thing I would change tho is to be able to hold down the pole buttons, particularly in the down direction.  It makes less sense for the left/right directions, tho. 

I made the mistake of playing this game early in the morning haha. This was an extremely aggravating, but fun hardcore-platformer of sorts. I wasn't really a fan of the huge increase in gravity when falling but the main mechanics of bouncing off those little blocks is executed really well. You could genuinely turn this idea into a full game if you wanted. Something I would consider changing if you do would be to have the direction the staff comes out be associated with the direction the mouse is relative to the player character. i.e. if I click bellow my character the staff comes out the bottom etc etc. This is likely just a me thing but I found it hard to focus on the tight platforming when my mind had to go the extra mile to think about which direction I needed to press to bounce in the direction I wanted. Overall fantastic game, and thanks for taking the time to look at mine :)

Really fun and simple game. Though it is still nice and challenging. I loved the art style and music. Great job!

 It would mean a lot if you could check out my Jam submission if you get the chance. Thanks!

This was really fun and HARD hahaha

Full 5 Stars 

The theme is present in a really interesting way.

Good job!

I'd love to get your feedback of my game :D

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the game, especially the art style. The movement mechanic was extremely fun and satisfying. I do think that an adjustment of the hitboxes of the little things you bounce off to make them more lenient would make the game a lot more fun and allow you to create more complex levels while still being a moderate difficulty. I also think the camera could use some work, maybe making it stop at the bottom of the level so that it doesn't scroll all the way down when you die. The level design could also be improved, there are some blind jumps where its hard to tell where you need to aim yourself and that combined with the smallish hitboxes make some of the levels frustrating rather than fun. I also think that this concept might be better without the There and Back theme since linear levels might fit the mechanic better. If you're planning on continuing the development of this, which you should, you might want to give it a thought. I'd love to see more stuff that the hammer thing interacts with. Thanks for the game! And good luck! :D

I loved this! It took me a good while to finish, but I got to the end and felt like I achieved something!

Really cool design, great job!

God dammit I loved this game. It was hard but satisfying. I tried the hard mode but had to put it down, I'm not ready.

And the walk animation??????? sublime.

The mood of the game is incredible and I really enjoyed playing it!

As an azerty keyboard player it was a bit complicated for me but I managed to play some levels!

I was a bit frustrated of not being able to beat this level as I understood the solution (I guess) :




But I was not able to perform it ! 

I think the game idea is really really cool but it requires a bit too precises inputs for me!

It would be a really cool concept for a bigger game and congratz for the very moody art style/music it works very well!
