so looking at the game page i was getting a little suspicious. “was this actually a real game?” i was thinking that the whole remaster vs. original thing was the mode gimmick, and i was right! this turned out REALLY good. on their own the movement abilities are already SUPER solid, i could see this already being a great game even without the twist, but the twist makes it even more interesting to play. i loved the way the enemies switched behavior depending on which mode you’re in, especially the rabbits! the game also looks incredible!! i can’t believe you went through all the effort to make every single asset twice, while keeping both styles consistent and super cute. (i also loved the way the aspect ratio changed in retro mode, it made it feel even more authentic!) good job (and good japes)!!!

This was really good! I was genuinely confused at first, did they just remaster a favorite childhood game? Ha. The level design was very clean and allowed the player to use abilities in creative ways. Fun interpretation of the theme. 

This felt like a complete game! I feel like most of all the level design is really well done. I do feel like outside of changing the  two different modes should change the gameplay a bit more, but the amount of content and quality of it speaks for itself. I would be surprised if this didn't end up as one of the best games here!

Seriously impressive! The amount of content and the precision of the level design for this game was really awesome. I loved the bo staff mechanics, and I really liked the retro vs remastered approach to the theme. Nearly everything felt smooth and responsive, and the art/music was superb.

If I had to nitpick one thing, I would say that the boss battle at the end could have been designed a bit better. The hit boxes for the enemies seem to be a little inconsistent, and I think it could be telegraphed a bit better that you have to hit each enemy in succession (at least I think that was the idea; it was hard to tell, which reinforces my point).

This is my favorite game of the jam so far! You all should be proud of what you made. Way to go!

(P.S. I was able to beat hard mode. Very frustrating (in a good way), but still worth it for the end reward.)

I found it pretty difficult to figure out which walls you're allowed to attach your stick to at first but I think I got the hang of it in the end. Perhaps could have used some more clarity there. Besides that there's not a lot I feel I can critque. It's such an adorable looking game. The way the music switches between modern and retro is great with a catchy soundtrack too. Keyboard controls were pretty unwieldy but playing on a controller feels awesome. I can see a lot of talent went into this. I've finished normal mode. The level design of normal mode at no point felt unfairly difficult. I'm intrigued to try hard mode when I have more time. Thank you for a fun experience!

Loved the idea of going back and forth between an oldschool retro mode and current day platformer! Some of the platforming was a little unforgiving for my liking, and the controls were a bit tough to get used to and pull off tight moves in a short amount of time, but I still really enjoyed the idea and game as a whole - nice job!
