I liked the low-poly art style of this one. A fun concept, but it is really hard to play. Sometimes the little wizard guy gets stuck on the objects and can't jump. Also, I don't know if this was just me, but, on my screen, the cursor pointer was off-center, which made the controls feel off. The jump physics felt strange, as well, like there was no momentum behind the jump. If you wanted to refine this further, I would really focus on making that jump feel "right" for lack of a better word. I liked all the different objects that were spawned, haha. Sometimes you could spawn an object right under you and launch the wizard guy almost to the other side of the map or get the boat to scoot across the lake.

Hmm, yeah, I see what you mean about the trade-offs involved in maintaining control over how floaty/snappy the falling speed is using just binary input (either the button is pressed or not). These things are so hard to balance, even in AAA titles -- I think what you managed to do is admirable for a game jam game!
The game idea is really fun but the jumping off objects tends not to work causing unfair deaths, oh and its easier to summon a boat against the wooden blocks at the start to fly across the whole map. rather fun would fly in a boat again.
Great game! It looks really nice, if youre going to continoue working on this project, you could make the wizards mana crystals/bullets (or whatever it is XD) do all sorts of thinks, like killing enemies, making things fly or anything. Well done.
Btw, please try my game too: https://itch.io/jam/zenojam/rate/750940
Great game! The environment looks really good and the character is cute.Only issue i experienced was that jumping didn't work every time.
