This was amazing! I loved the humor and creative platforming. The movement itself also felt really good and fluid and the wall jump mechanic felt great as well. Lovely work, great job!

Man, I love how there's dialog, and that troll definitely got me. I kinda like that I can jump with many buttons but it was a little confusing for me at first since I couldn't wall jump with enter and the wall jump one only works with space or w. I don't know if that part is intended.
I do love the idea! But I find a bit issue with this part of the map where I ran to the right and I just died. I'm not sure if there're other issue in other section but I do recommend to block off the non-intended ways. I thought there'd be terrain over there since in the early map section I could go into different directions for pathfinding(which I really love).
I do really like the concept of this game, I find it really fun. I'm a little confused why we can place spike, though.
I do recommend to put more frequent checkpoints. I kinda died a lot X"D
Great job!

Haha yes, we noticed that just before submitting but forgot about it. As you may have noticed the level design did not get the time, attention nor love it deserved. With some better time management, there are a couple of things we would have liked to work on a bit more.
Thanks for the feedback! It's an honor to have the capybara guys give us some advice!

yeah, definitely would have liked to balance the character more, but had to get started with level building before there was no more time. In the end we sticked with a very floaty character with big movements to try and experiment with using the editor mode while in the air in slow-mo. I think many of the ideas given in these comments would help turn this into an actual fun game rather than the experimental state it's in. Thanks for your feedback!

Those are some really nice ideas. We definitely wanted to add some element of pressure that would force the player to think / act quickly to avoid exploiting the editor mode too much. I like the idea of a lifespan to the platforms placed, maybe make them glitch out to make it coherent with the theme. Our idea was to have some incoming danger like the blue screen that appears in one of the rooms, but generalized to the rest (forcing the player to escape and thus not taking too much time placing 100s of platforms).
Thanks for the ideas and the feedback!
