Great work! I think the level design is fun and the main mechanic works well with the theme. For next time, I'd recommend polishing your character movement a little bit more. Granted, you did great work on that, but features like "coyote time" and "jump buffering" would help make the jump feel more responsive and satisfying. In addition, the font choice looks cool, but unfortunately is VERY hard to read especially for people with reading difficulties like dyslexia and the like, so I'd recommend at least including an option for a more readable font. Other than that, good work, solid game!

I'd love it if you tried my game if this is still open! :D https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1413977
Super original mechanic! It's really refreshing to see a top-down platformer game, and the way you interpreted the theme was really cool! I loved how you made the "checkpoints" a quick flash into reality, and the jump sound made it really satisfying to parkour around.
I do want to say, some of the platforming challenges were a bit finicky, and I felt like I lost for no reason even when I shouldn't have because the jump was hard to judge. I do understand that this problem is pretty inherent to the unique approach of a top-down platformer but I still wanted to point it out.
I also think you could have shortened the levels a bit, I do feel they dragged out a bit too much.
Overall this is a super charming and fun entry and integration of the theme, great work, and keep it up!
One of the best games from this jam I've played so far. The art and UI design is super beautiful, the main mechanic not only fits the theme amazingly but is also super fun. I do think maybe a timer showing how long you have left to catch the criminal would be beneficial, and the difficulty is sometimes a lot, but overall a super polished little 30 second experience with tons of replay-ability. By the way, feel free to check out my game as well (:

Haha that's a pretty funny coincidence, cause I also made a binding of Isaac inspired Rouge like! You can check it out on my page if you'd like ("Inferos public beta") , I never ended up finishing it but it's got a good bit of content in it. That might be why I made the connection! Either way, great work on the dungeon generation haha. Also, I'd really appreciate it if you checked out my submission (:
Here's mine! Gonna play your game now (: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1413977
Here's mine! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1413977 going to play your game now (:
Good work, and great mechanic concept! If I were to suggest improvements, I'd say limiting the player to one screen is a bit annoying, and I'd maybe make it a big level where you have to dodge around enemies and such, because at the moment you can get your score super high without any effort. Great game though!
