Hi! I've played trough your game and liked it very much!
I'm a sucker for this type of graphics.
The audio was fitting, but nothing too much.
It has some interesting lore buildup, but ultimately I didn't find any explanation :( Maybe I forgot to look somewhere?
The arrow shadow is very genius and subtle way to help the player orient.
A level selector (or at least a way to restart) would've been very useful! I got soft locked in the "home" level by the moving eye creature and had to restart from the beginning :/
A bonus for chaining super bounces would be nice too.

Overall this my new favorite game from this jam, I can see lot's of love was put into it :)

Maybe check out our game? It works right in the browser even on your phone :) https://blujuice.itch.io/tour-billion

Woah you made it home?! I think you're the first non-playtester to make it there! Congrats!!!

It's more of a 'up to your interpretation' ending for now, but I am considering a more-finished version with more info regarding our little UFO-ling.

I agree I wasn't a big fan of my music but it was all I could pump out in such short time, it used to be a single looping song the entire game at one point 🥴.

I'm super happy about the arrow shadow, I made it in attempts to help my wife understand the game better (didn't work lol). But I liked the idea so much I kept it in!

There are currently a few secret exits scattered in some the levels if you're willing to look (but since it's a game jam I'll just say they're in ~~grasp and lucky~~). And sorry about the soft-lock, I already have an update ready to go that addresses that and also adds an Retry button for any more hidden soft-locks I'm not aware of.

Thank you so much for playing! 🙇‍
