That's some tight platforming man! Nice control over the jump arch and even a little bit of momentum based stuff with the side facing spikes, right? Nice. Maybe I imagined that last part but what I'm saying is, movement feels great and any missteps were my own since the control over your character is pretty much total. Feels good to move.

Smooth, skillful and polished animation, cool bgm loop, sfx are solid. Plus the concept is super cartoony and fun. It mixes platforming and puzzle really well. If you ever start updating this with more levels or something, that'd be sweet. I really enjoyed your game, congrats on the submission.

I like this game, solid controls, nice music, sfx and art.

Congrats!

THE GOOD PARTS

• I like the idea a lot. It really keeps you on your toes, although some levels can be circumvented a bit to have some extra hearts and make it easier for you to reach the flag.

• The music is surprisingly good. It’s a banger! Seriously!

• The controls were tight. I have no complaints, they were on par with the skill demand.

• The animation was [mwah chef’s kiss]. I don’t even know how the dev managed to make them look that smooth but it works, and it’s amazing! Keep it up!

THE BAD PARTS

• Loop?. I think this might be the only weak spot I see in this entry and it’s PURELY SUBJECTIVE; I don’t think the interpretation of the theme REALLY matches the “LOOP” but since this game already works as its own standalone thing I think it has already transcended this jam.

Being honest, there’s almost nothing I can criticize of this game. I’d say there are some bugs lingering around but those are perfectly attributable to this being a jam entry and maybe not having enough time to playtest everything.

For example, if you hit spikes from below, you’ll get sent to oblivion. Also, the UI doesn’t really “adapt” to my full-screen resolution, which is something that needs to be looked at (if the dev intends to make a full game out of this). I see a lot of potential in this idea so if you’re going to keep working on it, keep me posted! I’ll be happy to test your game as long as I can spend time on it!

CONCLUSION

Play it, you’re going to love it. It’s a platformer with some light puzzle elements embedded, I’m sure the developer has already seen a lot of potential on this entry and I’m positive we’ll be getting more “I NEED PAIN” sooner than later!

One of the best games i've seen so far ! The gameplay is simple but very addictive, the art is cute, the animations are smooth, the music is cool ... I wish there were more levels actually, because it was so enjoyable !

Great work ! 

So much fun playing this game!! nice work!. The idea is so great and the art work is so cute!!

Absolutely excellent game, very cute PC sprite, overall great concept! Sometimes horizontal movement physics varied a bit after hitting wall spikes, but I think after a few tries I got the hang of it. This is certainly a unique and fun to play concept that I'm excited to see expanded upon

10/10 would die again ... love the music and the character! died 574 times many deaths due to jumping with out actually pressing x lol and cuz bad gamer but enjoyed the game fully !

I reeeeaaally like this game! 

I can't describe very well, what I like about it, but the general idea and how the player character bounces off of the spikes is just reeeaally fun to play :D The collisions do feel a little off sometimes, but that wasn't really much of a problem to me.

The music is minimalistic yet super catchy and fun. I love it!

The visuals were very decent. Especially the character animations are super smooth. And the idle animation after waiting for a bit is an awesome little detail~

I loved the idea of losing hearts . it would be better to use up arrow to jump instead of X button, and a web build would be easier. and i couldn't see the theme in it

very straight to the point game, I liked the idea of getting hurt to move on.. reminds me of IRL lol

This game was amazing! The core mechanic was super clever. I also loved the attention to detail in the animations of the character as he runs and jumps. One of my favourite entries so far!

Not usually a precision platformer fan but you're changing my mind! The run cycle for your character is awesome btw. Keep up the good work!

Loved it, cant wait to see how you expand it

A very well made game, the handling is precise and is perfect for this type of game. Congratulations, it makes you want to play the future expanded version.

was a good twist on a simple platformer. the music was cute. I think the art was a little too simplistic for my tastes but was really polished.

that was some fun and brutal platforming with a nice polish. The idea alone is really cool, and could be expanded in a lot of ways, like moving spikes, enemies, proyectiles, etc. Chaining up bounces and keeping the momentum just feels good.
I managed to beat it even when my stupid brain made me press R to restart a level but ended restarting the whole thing :P

Interesting how the game forces you to play in way that you're not used to. I really like the character animation too.

Maybe my personal favourite so far! Just love the animations and how polished moving the character around feels, makes the platforming super interesting. Also like the mix of puzzles and precise platforming.

Great job!

Windows told me that this game may cause harm to my computer; it actually caused harm to my soul.

On a more serious note - the animations are incredibly charming, the level design was super clever and cheeky, and significant damage was done to my soul seeing 'DEAD' appear every few seconds.

10/10.

So good and so much fun!!  :D
