Heya! I thought this was a really good submission for Ember, and its amazing how well you guys have developed it since Campfire London when I first saw you guys debut!

I'll begin with the controls: Firstly, they are really enjoyable to use(the best I have seen for the slingshot mechanic within the jam), and the option to choose drag forward or back shows attention to detail that I haven't seen in a lot of games in this jam. The character has good game feel and although the obstacles did get under my skin a few times(my worst nightmare in the picture below), the double jump and time slow when holding while jumping made it a lot easier to get over the loss and made me really want to try again until I reached the end!

My nightmare

I also notice that you guys designed the levels yourselves, and the different platform types really add value in terms of gameplay and mechanics(my fav is the green one ngl, the blue ones are evil). I would recommend more direction in certain parts but this is mostly solved due to camera zoom

Overall, the game's UI could be improved through UI packs/custom UI but this is very minor as all functionality is present and it still fits the overall theme of the game.

It also has a tangible story with character dialogue, which must have been hard to fit in with the polish you guys put in, so great job on that!

SFX and music are also nice, it really makes the character and world feel more real. The only other thing I would add is idle animations for the supporting characters to make it feel more immersive at a future date."!

Overall great job guys! Good luck in the jam!!!
