Awesome entry!! I got stuck at level 10 but had a great time playing throughout. The art style is super charming, the lil platformer guy is rad as hell. The little bits of polish like the glowing door or the black screen player silhouette as a transition add a lot overall too. The main mechanic is very creative and well-implemented and the lack of control over the player is an interesting twist on the platformer genre that lends to a lot of fast paced puzzle solving moments that are quite fun. A couple minor critiques are that I wish there was an instant restart option (such as pressing R) to immediately try a level again when you know you have lost already, and that I wish there was some way to control the camera and pan around the level a bit as there were a few moments towards the end where I couldn't see my next step and it felt frustrating. All in all, you absolutely nailed the theme with the visuals and gameplay working together wonderfully.

Thanks for the awesome feedback! I tried to make level 10 a bit easier for my next update by reducing player speed slightly and adjusting the cam. As far as the door glow goes, I just added some gaussian blur on a white copy of the door in photoshop. The black screen silhouette is a 4k image with a transparent cut out of the player and I just shrink it in and expand it out. since reading your feedback I have added a restart button (R) and on some levels (not all) I have added some look ahead on the camera. Ill upload the changes when the jam ends. Thanks so much appreciate it
