This game is by far the most content packed one I've seen so far!! Had a lot of fun playing this one.
The 3d background coupled with the 2d characters makes for a (surprisingly) well fitting theme.
I was going to praise this game on managing to be grindy but not too grindy at the same time, but shortly after I got to the second stage I became really disappointed at the fact that there wasn't a checkpoint and had to replay stage 1 all over again every single time... Bummer.
(I had to stop the game about an hour in... Which is a lot but... sorry)
I wish more games on this jam put in the same effort you did! This actually felt like an actual game. Like wow. Impressive work!!
I totally see myself finishing a game like this.
