I had a blast making this game and wish I had more time to flesh it out -- alas, that's the nature of the jam. Enjoy.

Controls:

Arrow keys to move, Space to Jump

PS. The Windows and OS X versions have gamepad support.

The player movement feels very floaty, a lot of the tiles seemed to not be touching the ground. The level layouts were okay though.

I liked the art and music. Would like to see some more obstacles in the player's path - enemies, environmental hazards (other than the laser pits), etc.

nice graphics and presentation. The intro had absolutely no commas,so I read it all out loud without taking a breath ,and almost died XD

Gameplay is neat, I just wish the jump wasn`t so floaty!

But overall it was a good game and I enjoyed playing it :)

I loved the presentation. I do wish the up arrow was also jump.

Gorgeous graphics... the game is, well, playable, but I think I played it in not much more time than it took to finish watching the intro text scroll. More punctuation there, maybe a few less sentences? I felt like you spent a lot of time telling us that what we were doing was really important, but then with no obstacles--I died exactly once while I was getting used to the floaty jump--we don't exactly feel like we've earned anything.

Hey, maybe flesh it out more? You really just need to work on your level design some and you'd have a decent platformer here. Good luck... and thanks for the game!

Pretty basic platforming but controlled great. I liked the art and music, although some sprites had strange perspective. You created a good mood. Great job.

Neat little game, punctuation would have made that opening scene much easier tor read. Simple but well done.
