The graphics are amazing and the unique visual style gives the game a distinctive personality. Carefully crafted details and well-executed visual effects truly bring each setting to life.

Appreciate the compliment!
The drawing component and animations have never been my cup of tea, but practice always makes perfect! :D

I knew someone would make a punishing game. It scared me into making my game no death.

Developer

Always a challenge to make for it to be completable, but always fun!

It was very difficult for me just to reach the first checkpoint. Without the feature to control the high of a jump I don't stand a chance... Oh, I see what you done. But it would be cool the hold jump to control how high you jump so the player can get this over with. Great fit of the themes

Developer

Unfortunately had some trouble implementing the mechanic of "Hold the 'jump' button to jump higher"  and was already late for me and had to work the next day.

Will try to work on the game a little longer afterwards and try to add that feature as the game is currently only at 20% of initial scope in terms of level design and other :D

Pretty clean overall! It was definitely a hard one so I think you hit your target on that! :D
I didn't get too far because of that though, so would have been cool to have a checkpoint setup or a way to experience more of the level at least just for the jam!

Maybe consider a screen that moves with the player and a smaller visual radius? It was nice seeing the entire level but made it awkward to play.

Art's nice and tidy too :) 
Decent little game that definitely takes some skill and hits the brief nicely!

Thank you for your feedback!

There are a total of 7 checkpoints in the whole level so maybe you just weren't able to reach it :D

That is just a small portion of the level :D Initially thought about having a complete view of the level, but it was too hard to avoid collisions, therefore, changes were made to be more zoomed in the level. Appreciate the feedback!

My lack of ability definitely didn't help me :D
