Having multiplayer feature is insane for a 72 hour SOLO jam! The art style is nostalgic and fun, perfect for a platformer. You made it really easy for the player to know where they need to go by highlighting the emeralds through objects. The punch (great sound effect) also functions as movement in the air which I found fun. It was a bit hard to get to the top of the map after falling down, but maybe that's a skill issue haha. Does the orange balls do anything btw?
I tried this game without any other players (couldn't find any) so unfortunately I couldn't get the intended experience, but I can imagine this game being both really fun and chaotic if there is a lot of players, great work!

Thanks!! Yeah getting back up was definitely a common issue I heard, and I've got some good ideas to fix it I think. (aside from just being not bad at map design lol)
The orange balls were kinda just supposed to be annoying, they do definitely get in the way when there's other players trying to beat eachother up. But they currently don't bounce as much as I want. I think next build everything is multiplied x2 and platforms will be smaller.
It's tough to get the full experience without other players, and I don't blame you! I mostly wanted to challenge myself for this jam, even if it wasn't the best decision to do it this way. lol
