The controls are extremely finicky, which is unfortunate because the idea is there and there's the start of some good gameplay.

Just some general comments from my experience:

  • The same as some of the other commenters here - the controls didn't behave as I anticipated
  • Gravity is significant and jumps are short - the trouble with the perspective is that it's really hard to judge when to start the jump and I found myself getting frustrated with the game more than my own ability
  • The death sound is pretty repetitive - having a way to retry by hitting a key instead of a GUI button would have been nice too.

Overall, a good start that just needs a bit of cleanup on the controls front!

Cool game although the level being on a diagonal made it brutally hard (for me at least) but still fun. Nice job :)

Fun game.

To be honest, I would have preferred if the controls where the one advertised in the tutorial level, respecting the isometric referential instead of the orthonormal.

Art is good.

Good job!

Pretty fun game, though for me the controls werent as it said, wasd did up down left right instead of the diagnals. it neat playing it though i felt the player was out of place with the other designs. Overall not a bad game

Jigsaw Run turned out to be a very challenging game for me
I'm not partial to isometric platformers, because they are difficult to navigate with WASD
Gravity felt a little bit too high, so I blamed it for all of my mistimed jumps
Spiky things I hated the most, because staying away from the ledge is just not my thing
And yet, I enjoyed every failure, took a breath and tried again
Were it not for narration, I wouldn't have enough patience to play this game

Rough around the edges
Unapologetically strict
Nicest game I suck at

Fun idea and good execution. Controls feel a bit stiff but consistent so you can get used to them. Overall good idea and with some polish to the controls could be a lot of fun
