Decent, compact game! I liked the way the light effects blended when the ball passed other objects. The jump mechanic and the ability to regain jumps by touching walls is neat, but unnecessary. The game is very easy, jumping just made it even easier. There could be some levels where you have to jump often. Music would've been nice.

Had a play of your game in this video here - at 50:20 -, where I give my thoughts while I play. Hopefully it's helpful feedback.
If you have time I'd greatly appreciate it if you could give my game a go to, happy jamming
This is a really solid game right here! I love the aesthetics and the particles for that tail. The level seemed a little unforgiving in level 2 where I had to memorize the pattern to get it through rather than learn how to deal with what is coming up. Requiring memory is a decent strategy for game design, but I guess a few checkpoints wouldn't have hurt in that case. Also, a really minor note that the arrow keys work with A/D to go left and right but the up key doesn't jump like W does, you can fix that real quick with the Player Input tab. Still, very solid work all around! I appreciated the visuals, how you can take a break and stick to the wall (you can change the Physics material of the box collider if you didn't want that), and even the occasional sound effect. Great job!
Hey, loved your game, loved your art , music , game design ,a bit of polish and your game will be pretty cool!
All the best and Good luck! Do check out our game we need the feedback! - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-3/rate/574293
Nice monochrome graphics, the glow effect fits right in and the screen distortion is nice too. Had fun playing it!
nice game and the glow effect looks so good, with a little bit of difficulty and a good song it would be a fun and challenging game like geometry dash
Cute game:) Very fun to play, maybe try to give the walls and obstacles colliders a 2d physics material with 0 friction (I think it will be better for this kind of games ,if you want the player to be able to fall when he is touching other colliders). I really liked the last level design :)
Well done!
A simple but funny game. The retro graphic looks like the fluorescence oscilloscope which is very beautiful. Also, you can add more mechanics like movable trap etc.
Would have loved a "down" button to speed up! That way you wouldn't have the speed up the character all the time, you just leave it up to the player to be impatient and make the game harder for them selves! Also loved the tube TV and green look
I like idea! Maybe it lacks speed a little bit, and also I think it would be better if player can not stop falling while touching the wall, all in all very great game!
Pretty nice, The game could have had some slight acceleration after certain points.
At times it felt like I was dropping very slow but other then that the limited jumps make the game really fun. Good job!
