Cute game! Nothing wrong with a classic loop-de-loop! The slides feel fun to ride and the way each level repeats smoothly is great. However, I was a little surprised when the jump button wasn't W/Up Arrow like what I'm used to for jump. Just a small nitpick, I was able to adapt to it. Great work!

Controls are remappable (although up for jump does prevent up from working in the menus... maybe that's something I should look into changing in the post-jam version).  But my experience has been that usually platformers have jump on the opposite hand from movement (thinking e.g. Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, etc.), and Z for jump is consistent with the computer platforms I've played (e.g. Freedom Planet, and I think Celeste's default control scheme is around that same area of the keyboard) which is why I chose that.

Ah okay, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification! Good to hear the controls are remappable :)

Now I'm curious what games have up/W for jump.

Some fighting games I've played have W/Up to jump. Most platformers I've played have Space or W/Up as an alternative, unfortunately I can't name them off the top of the head, they must have been newer gen. I've definitely played different platforming games than you, but it's all good!
