Really liked the interpretation of the theme, the jack in the box design and the music was very fitting too! However, as others have said, not being able to see where you're jumping to is quite difficult and frustrating. But if you tweaked the level design a bit, this would definitely be a very cute, enjoyable little game :)

Hello :)

Visual & Sound

Visually, the game looks good, but it misses some feedback from the different aspects of the game.

When you kill an enemy, it just feels like it just disappears. A little new jump would've helped with the visual feedback, and a sound for a pleasing total experience. That's just polishing, but it changes a whole game.

Jumping is great, but without sound, it feels like there's something missing. Again, that's just polishing but it helps knowing what happens.

Even better, another feedback with sound when you fall from high heights, to make you understand you failed something.

Tutorials

There were little parts of text to help the player understand, but the window was too little to easily read everything. And it misses the "keys" tutorial in game. Sure they were in the description, but I, as a player, never read them to see if the game is accessible enough.

Gameplay

• As said below, it misses a zoomed out vision, as the game is too frustrating without it.
• On a more positive note, the little vertical parts are nice, it's about mastering timings and that's cool :)
• I don't know if there are other enemies, but the ones existing feel really empty, as if they were just copies of our character without any sign of intelligence. But for a 48h game jam, it's alright.

Fun

The game is too frustrating to earn points in this category imo. But the beginning was nice, the movements are greatly done.

Bugs

I didn't encounter any bugs, but I didn't finish the game neither. So great job on this bug-free beginning.

Theme

I guess it's in the theme, although I couldn't see much of it yet :)

I try to complete every game I review, but I found this one too hard, my main issue was not being able to see where I'm jumping to, maybe the camera needs to be more zoomed out, or maybe you need a look button so you can look around.

make sure to check out my team's game. :)

Like the comment below said, not being able to see the next jump is super frustrating and caused us to not want to finish the game.

The level design is pretty good, however try to ensure you can see the next jump especially when the difficulty ramps of to the point of more significant consequences for missed jumps!

A nice little platformer :-) I think I might have had a screen-size problem because the title screen went off the top and at one point there was a jump where I couldn't see the next platform. The graphics and music are simple but cute.

I like the mood of this game, the gameplay is relatively simple, but it is acompanied with a nice story and a cute character. I like how tutorial explains you things while keeping this same mood. Game did have a bunch of bugs as you mentioned, but that's normal for the jam game. One thing I'd like to comment on is how you have to jump all the way back when you fall, I feel some level restart or even a checkpoint would work nicely. Overall gameplay is solid, graphics look unique and nice and the it also has a story. I would say this ir pretty cool and cute game. Good work!
