Well well well... One of the best games in this jam for sure! Congratulations on the phenomenal game you have here! I enjoyed playing it so much that I went for the completionist route and tried to get everything! No bugs detected, the feedback is amazing, puzzles are cleverly designed, level design is great, the game plays smoothly, love the fact you've given the option to collect more stuff and get all the stars, great option for completionists like me! I have no complaints about the gameplay!
The game is also sooo creative and the story is really simple and great! It does the job perfectly and it also blends the mechanics with the theme really well! The main gameplay mechanic fits perfectly with the jams theme and is cleverly integrated in a platformer.
Visuals are reaaaally good as well! Love the simple but awesome pixel art, the color palette fits perfectly with the game's mood and theme, the animations are really well done too. The details on the levels such as light coming down, birds flying away when you approach them and even the reflections on the water are such good details that make a huge difference in the end and make the game feel alive! The UI, also simple, does the job really well here and fits perfectly into the game. There's only one thing that I reall really wish it was present in the game: music. A soundtrack would make this game perfect! Which seems like you planned on adding since you have the option in the settings. This also reminds me, I really appreciate you give a ton of settings for the player, not many games do that. However, I must confess and agree with some other people here: the VHS effect is too much and I had to turn it off immediately. You could bring it down a little so it doesn't hurt the eyes a lot.
Anyways, overall, the game is insanely good, especially for a 4/5 day game jam! I really enjoyed playing this and it's a contender for one of the winners for me! Really well done and one of the most complete games I have played. Really impressive! Congratulations!
