This was a fun lil platformer. I played it all the way through! A couple notes for bug fixing/polishing:

- The end screen said I collected 0 cookies when I'd actually collected 3

- The lighting for the final level resets upon a level reset

- The action and reset buttons being side by side caused me to reset accidentally quite a few times, although that may just be my fat fingers lmao

Awesome work making this solo, hat's off to you! I noticed that your game is a bit empty music wise, which is totally understandable. I have a soundtrack of mine that I believe would be a great fit for your game. I uploaded it to Soundcloud for you to download. Just take it and use it if you think it fits!

Thank you for playing! Regarding your feedback:

did you reset any of the levels after collecting a cookie? My point was to make you actually risk something when going for a cookie so lose it after the reset. I am aware it could’ve been made more clear though :)
I need to look into this one, thanks for mentioning
it has crossed my mind it may not be the best but in the end I left it this way, I’ll keep it in mind for my future projects

The sound was something I did a bit last minute so without enough time I decided I’d rather leave it with cave ambient than add music that didn’t fit the game mood. Your music is really nice, thank you :)

That makes a lot more sense! It's probably me being a bit of a dummy tbh, not your fault at all. I'm not much of a gamer but I had a load of fun playing. Dropping a follow so I can keep tabs on your future work!

Sorry if I came across a bit harsh regarding the music. You've made this entire thing solo, of course music will be low down on your priority list. The ambience is great on it's own anyway! I just can't resist sharing my music if it can help people in some way.

Speaking of which, I uploaded another track! Feel free to use them in any project you wish.

Again, great work with this project! I hope you do well in the game jam :)

Nah, I believe games should communicate clearly with players - I actually wanted to include a cookie counter in screen’s corner but forgot about it focusing on gameplay and levels 😅 If you saw the count decreasing after level reset, it would be more clear what’s happening :)

No worries, it didn’t sound harsh to me. Sound has never been my main focus in my games but in this project I’ve already receive some positive feedback on it what is a positive surprise for me on its own. Any feedback is welcome because it’ll make my future games better! And I appreciate you sharing your music, I may make use of it in the future whenever it’ll fit my game :)
