Really cool game and art, loved the idea, the gameplay is cool as well. The player feels a bit heavy but you added coyote time tho, couldn't finish tho, the elder part is really tough lol but still awesome ^^

Very nice game, nice idea and artwork. I'd say its too difficult to my taste, I beat it but the last horizontal electricity run took me at least 50 deaths at old stage, probably more. So is for previous top-left part, it's too tight when you are an old person, at first I thought that it's undoable. Maybe it's just me, i don't play platformers often :)

growingYou explore the theme too good!
I don't no if you want add some "significates" in this game, but the idea of when we are kids, everything looks like bigger and when become older, everything becomes hard works perfectly!
For the gameplay, the mechanics works good, the controls works very well for this precision game, the sfx/music are very atmospherical for the game gender and the dificult progression in all stages are perfect (seriously, YOUR LEVEL DESIGN IS SO FKN AMAZING!!!).
Anyway, you realy make a master piece. 10/10, one of the bests so far.
Cograts ;D.

Shingeki no Kafka Kaiju Guren LanganThis game is so precious! The artwork is so adorable and endearing and I agree that the electrocution animation was spot on! So good!!! I'll be the first to admit that I was not very good ahha. I died a ton and I'm still trying to practice that jumping, but I didn't even mind! The use of the trees as checkpoints was a great idea and the game was just so cute and appropriately difficult, but not impossible, where I wanted to keep playing! Great Job!!! Loved it ! (:

Sir SlithersworthReally good game! The only issue I had is that some of the jumps in young stage were REALLY tight.
Also, I collected 17 oranges, how many total were there? :P

Super Acorn QuestSlick animations and the music suits the game perfectly. Hard, but rewarding thanks to good level design.
If you are continuing with this project after jam, I suggest creating new sprites for the grown up characters and trees instead of scaling them up.

Janssons TemptationCool yes, much better now. I got through the level 2x, trying to jump over laser beams as an old man is incredibly difficult (esp with the screen zoomed out). Also noticed an overlapping sound issue, there seems to be 2 music tracks playing at the same time after you die and restart.
Nice work on the game.
