Incredible. You've hit the perfect sweet spot between unique mechanic, satisfying level design & progression, theme, and frustration, while also keeping the game remarkably simple, intuitive, and accessible. It can technically be played with one finger!! Fantastic physics that aren't overly bouncy -- the way the player knocks off of obstacles is just right. The only things I could possibly fault this game for is there could be slightly more friction when the player grazes the ground, and also that the mechanic has been seen before -- minding that it's played up to amazing standards in your game. I felt all emotions ranging from curiosity, excitement, anger, amusement, determination, and finally despair (when I gave up) when playing this. The long soundtrack suits to immerse the player further and is a delight to listen to, regardless of whether or not it's stock music from somewhere (I have no idea). If I had more time tonight I might try to beat it but I have no idea how far up the rabbit hole goes. I got stuck at this innocuous-looking but extremely small pinpoint ledge somewhat above the wall-breaking area, and if you miss you have to redo like three challenges. I'd love if you told me what percentage of the game I got through if you understand the area I mean. I'll go out of my way to recommend this to others and I highly suggest you release it on Steam at some point.
If you're reading this, play this game!!
The jump mechanic is a ton of fun and the difficulty scales very well.

Teleport TowerThis game is the real deal! The difficulty curve is just perfect, so you always feel like you can take on the next challenge! Definitely one of the best this jam!

The Fungal CaveThis captures the theme very well! A lot of people seem to just associate Foddian games with being difficult, but for the most part they are fairly forgiving and offer multiple chances to save yourself with yourself being your own worst enemy. This game captures that very well. You can correct your movement by shooting midair, but often times you end up making things worse when you do it as a Hail Mary move. Very nice presentation, too!

FWOPAwesome game, really simple mechanic but unique, honestly I could see this as the next jump king. The only thing that bothered me, was that sometimes the background and foreground are both too dark/similar and it can be hard to distinguished (I fell a couple of times because of that), but other than that, the levels and the movement are great!
Very fun movement mechanic! Visuals and music are very well done too. Haven't gotten to the top yet but I think this will be one I revisit.
