Really well presented, with some clear work put into character animations and mechanics! Some things felt a little clunky - jumping felt too rigid, and dashing just didn't even work for me. The claw move is super fun to use though.

Ooh, I probably didn’t unlock dash then - I ended up playing until the first boss, and couldn’t beat it cause I’m bad xD
For making it feel less rigid, you should first get a solid jump control. It felt a little like I was just moving up, then moving down again. Try seeing what gravity values work best, and make the curve into the peak of a jump smoother so that there is some fine control.
As for the claw attack, was I mistaken in thinking you aim with mouse? For me, it would always aim in a different direction from where I clicked.

Try and make a jump sustain system where it doesn't just cancel your jump, it changes the height of the full curve instead. It'll feel a lot more natural this way. Perhaps you can manipulate the gravity of the player directly to be less when you hold jump - I think this is what a lot of platformers do.

That definitely seems a lot smoother! I still think the arcs could be wider, but just experiment with what feels most responsive and controllable.
