Really cute game and the animations are fantastic (love the skid on landing). I feel like it will work really well as a mobile game. Just an idea, but it might add to it if there's a slight slowing down in time when you click to give you a chance to think about it (very slight even) that goes back to normal after releasing? Just a thought like I say :) Great game!

Amazing game. It looks and sounds very well, a little bit difficult, but perharps it the it purpose. I missed some button that indicates that you can jump, it would be easier to understand that get the purple fruits gives a extra jump (initially i thought that i get an extra jump on when I'm on a "hole area").
I found 2 bug.s (nothing that really impact the game) sometimes when you fall it's possible to see then end of tiles:
Other thing, If I dash horizontally on the first plataform of the first level I can enter on it (after you start Falling):
But it's a very good game. I think that if you published this on playstore anyone would think that was made on 7 days = )
Yeahhhh, so I didn't really account for "walls" when using a Tile-Palette Collider. I saw this happening and honestly didn't have the time to correct it. Having more levels just felt more important at the time. I'm not a good level designer so this process takes me a lot of time, but I'm working on getting better!
Also, thanks for your kind words and feedback! We definitely have plans to keep working on this and release is on mobile when we're happy with it.
There should be some visual feedback you can check out. The indicator color will go red when canceling, yellow when a dash in unavailable, and green when the dash can be done. The girl's dress is also purple when you can dash and grey when you cannot. There is also an input buffer for inputs that register within ~0.15s of an available dash. The character also cannot dash immediately after landing, you have a short recovery period first. Hopefully that helps a little!

Thank you so much 🥰 We had a blast making it. Glad you enjoyed it! Had other music in the works but couldn't finish it in time, so just made the one pleasant loop ❤️

Well, I hope you can cut us some slack on the swiping mechanic! If you don't like using a mouse, try it on your phone! It feels a lot better that way!
