Love the bouncy animation on your character! Movement feels great, color palette is a really good choice. Animation on other objects like the checkpoints make everything pop as well. The only thing I had trouble with was holding shift to pick things up. I feel like left shift is pretty awkward considering wasd controls and right shift wasn't working for me. Could be a personal thing here, but I feel like tap shift to pick up and throw would feel a little better. But that's a small thing in the face of how fun it is to play, so nice job here

Responsive controls, nice visuals and music, the SFX were super juicy, I did managed to softlock myself one time by yeeting the box past the walls on the first checkpoint zone, besides that, smooth sailing, loved the little victory dance at the end! Good Job

This feels very polished. Movement, art and music are great. Showing the height was a cool motivating addition. Having to balance the risk of assembling the checkpoint with the reward of having it was really neat as well. But did I miss it, or was the double jump never mentioned in-game?

Really nice job. Well polished and fun to control/play. Not sure if the checkpoint worked for me or if I didn't do it right as I kept going back to the start when i died no matter how high I got.

Wow. Very solid game. Played it a few times. Speed run timers always hook me. The movement feels on point. The color scheme is nice. Just a good game.

Fun and well polished game! 

A few problems I encountered:

1. Wall Jumping  is very difficult.

2. I don’t know, if it was supposed to be this way, but when I threw one “thing” at the flag, it exploded, but the checkpoint was not activated, only after the second “thing”

Everything else is great, fantastic art style!!

Great job with the music, sound design, art, and polish! Love the scrolling background. Overall a fun little puzzle platformer. Felt a bit punishing to get reset all the way to the start. Solid job, and congrats on submitting a game!

I already left a comment on the itch.io page for the game before realizing I should have left it in the jam page right here. Fantastic game. The art and gameplay is great.

Fabulous graphics and great music, perfect game design and polish, the only criticism I can give is that the game isnt scaled with my small pc so I cold not see the lower borders, and instead of shift hold, shift click and then click again to throw would be better. Also maybe you could have controlled the range of the item you throw. However these are not too troublesome as the gameplay was still very smooth and responsive. Great job overall!

The concept, gameplay and especially the art style of the game where really great. Once i was respawned a 0 after reaching the 150 mark which was strange (I am not sure if this was intended). Further more aiming was quite difficult. Still very cool game!

I loved the art and especially the music. I feel like the game was a little difficult at times, and the use of the shift button was sometimes a little awkward (would have liked the option to also use the Right Shift button, not just left), however overall I genuinly really enjoyed that. Absolute gem.

This was a really good game. i loved the art and the palette used. it kind of reminds me of Hell is Other Demon. There were a few tiny bugs that wouldve sotflocked me if it wasnt for the restart button. also the idea of having to put together the checkpoint is brilliant. overall I enjoyed this experience
