Very fun slick action platformer game. I do appreciate the transition to the next part of the level. Reminds me of Megaman NES. Pixel Art is very amazing, 10/10, and as well as the music! Levels are very easy, despite some moderate challenge in the last two levels. I think an end screen/epilogue text would be nice after beating the last level before returning back to title screen, but since this was made for a game jam, I can understand the constraints, so I will let it by.
Fun game!
Thank you so much for playing the game & creating a wonderful video on it! We had worked on an end screen that we didn't have time to implement. After the voting for the Jam ends we may post an update to the game with that final scene and some extra polish!
hello! i am one of your fellow jam colleagues for bigmode '26, i do jam interviews where i give people space to talk about their jams and show them off to other jammers. i was recommended your game, and would love to have you on to talk about your process, if that's cool!
Sick!
