Comment edit: I'm dumb, awesome game. Well Done!
Loved it! Found the credits...and the start menu! Very clever and would definitely play a full version of this. Very sneaky with the controls...
Thanks so much!
What a cool submission! The idea that these things has always been available all along, but you just don’t know it is so frickin cool! I love it!
Thanks!
Okay, I almost fell for what I saw 'thank you for playing ' for the first time
And when I saw her the second time, I didn't believe her either.
And eventually I was able to get to the authors and the Game Title.
I really like it
The pixel art is charming, and the soundtrack perfectly sets the mood.
Thank you!
wow, love the idea of mixing a metroidvania with the jam theme! great work!
Bro, you took me on an emotional rollercoaster 😄
At first, I finished the game in about a minute and got a bit disappointed — I couldn’t believe it was that short. So I played it again, trying to see if there was more to it.
And with each run, my smile grew wider as I discovered more and more endings!
I absolutely love this approach — when gaining new information allows you to revisit familiar places that seemed ordinary and suddenly find new paths. Just brilliant.
I still feel like there might be more secrets hidden somewhere that I haven’t uncovered yet :)
I really enjoyed it!
P.S. I had an issue where the full game wasn’t visible on my screen, and at first, I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t pass a certain part. What helped was adjusting the browser’s zoom level — increasing it allowed the full game screen to show. Since you can’t update the build now, maybe consider adjusting the resolution on itch or adding a note with my workaround to the game’s description.
P.P.S. If the screenshot is a spoiler, just let me know and I’ll take it down!
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Someone else did have an issue with the zoom, so I’ll definitely add that to the description somewhere. If you got to that screen, then you’ve seen everything :)
Short, but the art and especially the music is fantastic. I just don't get the loop aspect. Would be nice to have a unique mechanic. And one extra piece of feedback: Change the button sprite. Right now, it looks to much like a plant.
the pixel art is very nice the sound as well , nice gam
The pixel art is nice, and I like the feeling of playing through the same level but knowing more each time and being able to reach previously unreachable areas!
Thanks!
Visuals and sounds are nice and pretty.. but i can't see whole level because it was zoomed ..
Fun game, like the simple pixel art style and the platforming! Good job, check out my game if you can :D
Simple but fun, although the controls for the double jump are really uncomfortable. It would have been much better to have it mapped to the same button and unlock the double jump once you reach the room with its instructions, kind of like a Metroidvania upgrade.
