Whoa, this was really, really good! I liked the glitches, the changes happening in a single level, and the "feel" of controlling the character. V_XO was nicely drawn. The sound design was great, liked the music, too. I think the music should've also become glitchy. One of the checkpoints was buggy in the wrong way - I got stuck in it on several different iterations of the level, and had to exit fullscreen and mash the restart and movement keys to break free. It was after the area where you learn to double jump, but not in the first glitchless iteration. It seemed like there was going to be some interesting story behind the game and glitches, but never came to fruition. If you keep working on this after the jam, I'd like to see more story. Would be interesting if you turned it into a metroidvania where you can access places when the game glitches enough!
I appreciate the feedback, Jorava and I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
Thanks for reporting the bug so precisely, I will try to fix it.
Also the metroidvania idea with more story sounds great!
Glad to hear it! I re-checked the checkpoint - it was actually over or right before the double-jump spikes, not after them.
Very Fun Game!, I like the controls and the Concept. :)
Thank you, Coffee Monster!
Great ingame tutorial, the game was great too ;-). The iteration on the same level was interesting and the "level 1" text glitch showing the actual level number was a nice touch. Other than that, is it the most polished platformer I've played so far. I was also wondering what's the name of the font you used?
"Great ingame tutorial, the game was great too ;-)" cheeky ;D
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a Google Font called: "Turret Road". :)
beautiful game! i love the iteration of the same level. might've glitched for me (got stuck at level 4, with an unmoving purple square?) but i really enjoyed the experience — super well executed, color me impressed :)
thanks for the feedback!
I'm sad that you had to experience that gamebreaking bug. Do you have some more info on what happenend before the player couldn't be moved anymore, so I can try to fix it.
i was jumping over the 4 floating squares, past the big immovable (slightly unseeable) rectangle.. sorry that's so vague. just got trapped there at like square 4. it wouldn't reset, and i couldn't move
thank you for clarifying. I will try to investigate further.
I like how you change the level over time, very cool.
The implementation is soooooooooo good! Really liked the game! The only thing is, I think the camera is a tad bit too high up. Other than that, really well-done, amazing!
Thank you alot Kintrix :)))
Yes, I agree others have noted that too, I definitly should have experimented with the camera more.
Excelent concept and implementation. Pretty cool
thank u!
Amazing game. It definitely deserves to win, best one I've played so far. I would love a tutorial on how to achieve the glitchy graphics :)
Also please check mine out if you have the time. Would love to hear your feedback :)
Thanks, Harfsen :00
I might do one on how I create glitchy effects (no promises) but in the meanwhile here is a great youtube video about glitch art from one of my favorite bois Sinix.
Glitch Art - Sinix
sure, I will check out your game. :)
Excellent take on the theme. I've never thought about making every level like an upgrade to the same level. I really like that idea and that's probably the main reason i'll rate this high. Amazing job!!
Thank you Cho00. I'm happy you like the idea. :)
Excellent game keep up the perfect job, really should be polished and released on steam, Great job mate!
:0 thanks for the kind feedback Voxy!
Smooth gameplay, great visuals. I think I'm most impressed with the save progress mechanic. I think this game would be very frustrating without it but I think you already knew that
:D yea while playtesting early versions I got frustrated by the original whole level reset, so I implemented the checkpoints.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
This so good!
An absolutely stunning game! The visuals are great, the music fits perfectly! I wanna see more from you in the future. This was a really great experience, and if extended, would be Steam level quality! Keep the great work up!
Omg, that's such a supportive comment, thank you affax!
Great Job, Fits the game jam well. Good Idea, executed well.
thank you :)
This game was the best so far for me. There is little to critize here but I still found a point that you should consider in your game design in the future. I basically skipped two levels completely because of your save system. I just blindly double jumped to the right and then got to the end pretty quickly without even trying. The rest was absolutely brilliant. Nice game loop. Good idea. Overall very WOWIE experience. :)
Thanks alot for the kind feedback!
And nice catch with the double jump. I will investigate further in that direction.
Very fun and an interesting concept! Also I really like your art! Sure shes the only human thing but even the little squares look amazing! Gameplay is overall very smooth and easy to catch on to, however is there a difference between the two plays? If there is I would love to check it out too!! I tried the first play and beat it and the second one started the same, So i am just wondering.
Thank you very much! :)
The second play button was originaly planned to be a speedrun mode with a timer etc. But I ended up not having enough time. So they both are the same currently. Sorry for the confusion.
While playing I was like: It would be really cool to speedrun this. Guess you thought the same, haha. :D
Nice. Reminds me of game called "this is the only level ".
Thank you!
Mhm i don't know that one, will try it out tho. Thanks for the tip.
Awesome ! Everything is really good ! Love the idea, love the difficulty, it fits complitly the theme ! That's a full 5 from me !
If you can try our entry for this jam, it would be awesome ! I'd love to see your feedbacks !

Omg thanks alot :0
I will definitly play your beautiful game!
Wow just wow! I love this game! Reminds me of Doki Doki! Very nice mechanic! Well done!
Thank you, Andrei! :)
`Wow. This is an awesome game from top to bottom. Short and sweet and very creative! I will say that there could have been some variety in dialogue throughout the game and that would make it a little bit more engaging. Overall, this is the best game I have seen so far! If you have time to rate and review my game, it would be much appreciated :)
Omg, such positive feedbac,k thank you !!!1
I agree , I should've given the dialogue a bit more variance.
Solid 5!
thank you :)
