Like others said, this was a fun little platform and I appreciated the level of difficulty. I agree some checkpoints would be great to add just because it felt deflating to reach a certain height and then go back to the beginning when I fell on the spiky bits too much. Love the whimsical vibe. I enjoyed the individual elements of the soundtrack and the creative instrument sound choice, however I felt like maybe the melodic bit and the drum track didn't sync up perfectly so it felt a little disjointed. Or maybe that was the intention to fit the vibe? Honestly a game I'd enjoy playing more of if you develop it further.

Thanks for playing! Yeah, music production isn't our strong suit, it was meant to be more silly if anything. The voice was recorded without much thought put into rhythm and whatnot 😅.
Sorry you feel that way about the lack of checkpoints. I do want to point out that there are a couple of them, one at each town you visit, but you're right, we probably should've put a few more in-between.
Hopefully my comment didn't come out too grumpy sounding. I really enjoyed what you did! I think the game has serious replay factor. So far in game jams, my role has mainly been audio and I know how hard it can be to get a music file to play correctly in the context so I know the struggle! The silliness was definitely there and I thought it was a good reflection of the atmosphere. I think you did great overall!
