I agree with some comments that the music is the obvious weak link. I didn't even want to cut it because your jump and power-up SFX are quite cool, but it got on my nerves at some point xD
However, the rest of the game is really enjoyable to play. I like the controls, especially that weird long dash. The gameplay fits the theme while using classic metroidvania elements, and you made it work admirably. Well done!
Enjoyed cruising your loops, the physics were just right. Other than that, maybe the game lacks some polishing (it needs audio most of all, unless I muted it by accident, then I'm very sorry xD)
Simple yet very enjoyable game for me. I liked the feeling of cruising through simple levels. There was an almost meditative element to it! As someone who can't draw, this inspires me, because with very few assets, you came up with such a cool result (I'm sure it's not an easy task either.) Gratz!
I think I did, but then there's a console bug with tons of red lines xD It's definitely possible timing-wise, but super hardcore (which I kinda like, it was just a little much.)
Great art and audio, I'm amazed. Really liked the gameplay too, although the last level is a bit annoying, as it suffers a little from the clunky platforming. But this is hands down one of the best game I've played this jam, bravo!
Congrats on your first jam, I really enjoyed your game. Clever design, incentive to try again despite failing a bunch of times.
The audio gets a little annoying, since there are only 2-3 sfx (move and power-ups basically?), maybe it'd be worth finding more satisfying sounds to the ear :D
Well done though, I'd play more levels of your game and have fun.
I enjoyed your game a lot, very simple mechanics and yet very effective! The boss design is clever without being unnecessarily punishing, I wouldn't mind playing a version with a bit more bosses, but as someone else said in the comments, it's already quite huge for a jam game.
One improvement would be to add a sound + visual cue when your character loses health. The first time I got hit by a laser, my guy just stood there like a chad. That felt a bit off.
Nice art and audio, works well. I think maybe UI could need a little polish, it's not always obvious what you have to do, and some of the texts aren't easy or enjoyable to read. But for a jam entry with only a few days, it's definitely good, well done!
Cute art overall (love the "aaaahhhh!" sound when you finish a level), nice platforming. I wish there was a hard reset button for a level, because things tend to get too messy once you die a bunch.
Well done! Tbh finishing the game is kind of hard, you're constantly under loop pressure so kudos for going the distance. Thanks for playing and for the nice comment <3
I had fun escaping, the game isn't very punishing, which is actually a good thing. I enjoyed all the clues, given in a funny fashion too. The audio is a big plus, quite immersive, in that dungeony kind of vibe.
You're super good at making the game annoying, the level design is honestly well-thought! I couldn't make it till the end though, not enough patience. I'm not a fan of the jump mechanic, makes the game feel a little clunky. I like the idea though. Props to the audio, which really works for me!
