Yeah, I should have had a better tutorial than just placing arrows with the button name on it, and looking back, some levels do have some awkward timings, such as levels 5, 8 and 9. Glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for playing it!

I do understand how  simplifying the controls to one button would help, as when starting to make the game I pressed the wrong button more than a few times. However, I kept it as two buttons as the 'Purple Area' mechanic does act differently depending on what button you press, and I felt that the player should use this mechanic to have more options on approach in the later levels (such as the large purple area in levels 8 and 10). I tried to put a control scheme that uses the arrow keys, which may be a bit more intuitive, even though it does just remap directly to the same actions as X and Z. Thanks for playing it!

I've seen some requests for a manual so, here it is

All tutorials, copy and pasted from the pop ups in case you skip or forget them:

Level 1:

^ To Jump, A/X To Attack. Press B/Z to start. Defeat all the slimes

Hold ^ and press A/X to Double jump. This can be used to Deal Damage.

Play fast, as the sunlight causes you to lose hp over time.

Level 2:

The screen loops horizontally and vertically.

You can swoop into bat mode using B/Z. This can be an attack.

You can use A/X to attack, which will exit bat mode.

Level 3:

Press A/X while holding v to do a Slam Attack.

Slide along a ceiling by touching it in bat mode. This can protect you from the sun.

Jump against a wall to wall jump.

Press A/X and B/Z at the same time after beating wave 3 of a level to continue.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I am probably going to put a reference manual in the game's comments on the itch page, just copy and pasting all of the in-game tutorials into the comment.

yea I forgot to put the 'Press A and B' notifications in the levels other than 1 and 2

As soon as I thought that the game was just going to be a jetpack phsyics game,  t h e   m e c h a n i c s   b e g a n. The game kept introducing new mechanics, which helped keep the game interesting and go well with the simple, yet difficult movement. Quite enjoyable, and also a bit frustrating.

the movement is nice and deep with many different available options for the player. The gravity is very strong, leading to the game being hard and frantic.

All the art for this looks great!

Enjoyed how the design shifted between puzzle and platforming in a seamless way, with how you experimented with the concept being used for speed, precision or puzzle solving.

The linux download may not work, I have not yet tested it, and it probably will not work
