The song was frickin awesomesauce! I got like 20 jumps epic style

Submitted

The cool thing is, you can die over and over to gain more jumps. With 15 jumps I had no need for platforms anymore.

Submitted

Great movement! I wasn't sure if coyote time was in there but nonetheless I was able to get past the last room! I also liked the upgrade mechanic although it took me dying to realize that the room with the wall of spikes was meant to be impossible to get through until you died on the spikes. Great job!

Submitted

Really interesting idea. Would love to see a post-jam update for this one

Developer

I probably will o something like that eventually, but thank you!

Submitted

The concept of upgrading depending on the manner in which you died is really cool.
Art was legit impressive, really liked the palette and thought the character looked real neat also.

Played smooth, looks great and has a fun concept. I personally would have liked jump available on spacebar but that's just nit picking. Nice work!

Developer

Thank you! Really glad that so many people enjoy the main mechanic :D

It ended too quickly but I loved the movement, just float around using the jump to avoid the obstacles, the music is also nice, I hope you work on this even after the jam ends I would love it if this had more levels.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I want to make more for this game because I love the concept

Submitted

That was  quite interesting! I liked the art and sounds stands all good together. 
Sad that it ended that fast though, if you'll going to work on it in the future I'm pretty sure I will give it another try. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yeah I most certainly will come back to this game and do some crazier and much more fun things with it!

Submitted

Cool Artstyle and also nice roguelite mechanic paired with a jump n run. Havent seen that before I think. Would have loved more levels and evolutions of my cute little golem but for a week this is a really nice prototype!

Developer

Thank you! I'm really upset that I couldn't do much with this cool idea, but maybe I'll come back to it!

Submitted

The colour palate is really nice. Not the biggest fan of the weight/speed ratio on the player but I can appreciate that it was intentional. Still a great, fun, game with nice eye candy!

Developer(+1)

I understand, the powerups themselves weren't that great, but thank you for playing anyways!

Submitted

I liked the music and art, and I really liked the idea of adapting to how to you died. Overall, great game.

Developer

Thanks, that means a lot to me!

Submitted

Love the look of the game. And the concept of death and upgrades was great

Developer

Thank you, glad the visuals connected well :D

Submitted

The game and power ups are fun and the color palette is very pleasing to the eye, good job!!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Wish it was longer, was having fun after getting the upgrade for the first time. Great way to implement the +/- wild card btw.

Developer

I'll be honest, the game is more based on that wildcard than the main theme, but thank you!

Submitted

Seriously though, using the wildcards make the games really become better :D

Submitted

I would die for these golems. Loved the idea and we had fun finding and testing the different powers. Obviously would have loved some more levels, but really great job w/ the core concept.

Developer(+1)

You did in fact die for these golems, but thank you for the compliments!

Submitted

I like that you focus on one short level per challenge
The art is really good.

Developer

The levels came more out of necessity, however I'm glad I was smart enough to make them small, and I'm glad you like it!

Submitted

Love the art and music!

Developer

Thank you, they're one of my best works to be honest!
