Had a fun time with this game! The basic mechanic actually handled really quite well IMO. I do think you needed to be more explicit about the wall jump and roll mechanics since I was such on the second screen for a while until I figured out you can just kinda click to chain wall jumps, though it also control relative well once I'd figured that out. The rolling was also a bit hazy to understand, but I did eventually figure out that you basically just needed to spin dash into the tile in front of the hole.

I will say -- you really have a knack for level design! Super inventive with fresh concepts on each screen.

Super solid concept and great basic implementation -- with some further refinement and UX  adjustment, I can absolutely see this becoming the next Jump King 📦🎂

I'm glad you had fun!

I was a bit unsure about how to teach the ground roll mechanic (it's basically just doing a spin dash diagonally into the ground) without resorting to an explicit "yellow paint" tutorial telling the player exactly what to do. That was the best solution I could come up with.

As for the second level, I think I was a bit too punishing by putting spikes on the wall before I'd properly introduced the wall jump mechanic. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to do any playtesting before the submission deadline, but afterward I realized people struggled with the second level much more than I expected.

Thanks for the kind words about the level design! I'd never designed platforming levels before, but I really tried to introduce the mechanics progressively. My original goal was actually to make something closer to Celeste than Jump King. I guess I ended up making it harsher than I intended, but I really appreciate the compliment!
