This was a very fun, chill platformer game. I loved the vibes, and its an ambitious undertaking to try to make a sandbox platformer for a game jam. I do wish some platforming sections were a bit more forgiving and the sliding mechanic was more explained, but once I figured it out I had a lot more fun. Great game!

Congrats on making such a stylish, smooth running game. I really liked the puzzle mechanics and it was satisfying to solve them. I liked how clean your options menu was, I'm jealous of how well the scaling function works. Did you use opengl at all or are you entirely using pygame features for rendering?
I really liked the pixel art and the music. I had some difficulty getting the controls to click for me. There were aspects of it I liked: I could tell the mid air dash was supposed to feel similar to in fighting games, I like a good bouncy ground pound and slow mo bullet shooting is always cool. However, there were situations where I wasn't really sure what the developer intended way to progress was. For example, in the first level with the blue enemy, I could bounce off the blue goo, but I couldn't figure out any way to maintain momentum and kill the green shielded enemy with a bounce. All I could do was skate close to them and hope I'd be able to get enough height from the jump to shoot down at them, which didn't feel as slick as what I imagine you guys had in mind was.

Great art style, I like the general concept and the walking animation is really well done. I do think it would be more fun if the controls were a bit tighter-the jump's a bit floaty and I think some of the dangerous objects blend in to the background a bit too much. I did unfortunately hit a glitch where it froze after blowing a kiss during my first playthrough, but it worked fine after refreshing. Fun game!
I really liked the music and the atmosphere. I had trouble determining if I was locking in one or two upgrades per round, and I had a hard time determining how the scoring was working. For example, it said my machete beats gun & bomb, but the opponent's nuke beats knife & gun, so I wasn't sure who was going to actually win.
I wish this was a bit longer, because what's here is really good! The cover undersells it, this is a bit more unique of a sequel to your game from last year than I anticipated. The 2.5D effects and comic book panel-y transitions are really cool. The swinging and boosting mechanics felt very fun. Good job!
Great intro animation and cover art. What engine did you make the game in? The framerate's very smooth-that's very difficult to do when not using a third party engine.
I did find the game pretty difficult, pressing R instead of T at one point exited the game, and unfortunately there is a bug after the platforming section that completely halts progress. Still, getting this far with you own engine is very tough. Good job.
