the core game loop is amazing. I invested to upgrade the all of them to max, further level is a bit frustrating, but overall i really enjoy it, good game!!

I played this for way longer than I intended. Excellent work.

Great idea !! Love the artwork and audio too

If you aim to continue the dev, it would be cool if the jump is scalable with holding the jump button rather than be clamped to the evolutive force jump

Really neat for what it is! There's a good idea here, and while movement in the earlygame is a bit unbearable, it doesn't take too long to get better. Trying to platform with a high jump or speed can get hard, though, and I feel like it could be more obvious when you die from lack of oxygen- it took me a bit to realize that was what was happening. Finally, it's very possible to softlock through just not upgrading jump. Not too big an issue since the game is so short though.

I really love the game loop here, very clever idea!  I did initially struggle to figure out where to click to do upgrades; I wonder if a future version could make it so you actually unlocked more upgrades by actually performing the action they upgrade to get there - i.e. jumping to the upgrade station continuously as you get more jump.  Nicely done!

Love this idea, really great job. For the sake of giving constructive feedback, and this is a nitpick, once the jump is upgraded a few times, it becomes really difficult to avoid taking damage from the blue stuff. Other than that, I really enjoyed this! I 100%'d it :)

Wow nice job! After I died for the first time and fully understood the collect-then-level up flow, it was really cool. Also the music in this game is absolutely awesome. What a banger. Had me bopping along to it haha Great job!
