I like the cheeriness of the game. Its quite charming. Good show.

I like the concept, and the artwork is very cute / simple. I feel like there are too many controls, though and I found the difficulty sort of high. Very nice use of the theme! :)

I enjoyed it, sound was well done.

Nice concept and gameplay...
The artwork is also nice!!

The controls feel kinda clunky at times though!

Solid game. Control is a little bit hard to get used to. I personally think resetting velocity before double jump might be a good idea. (Or you intended to do that double jump, it is actually not that bad. It feels kinda like flying.)

Nice game, smooth artwork and good idea !

Seems like the collision was not implemented properly.
I could wall jump infinitely.

Pretty cool gameplay. I think it has a potential as a mobile game.

Yup I noticed I could wall jump indefinitely too. I'm not sure if it's a bug, or a mechanic. I found on one level, I couldn't really jump high enough to complete it, so maybe it's intended? Anyways, it's cute and with more polish (especially on controls) it could be more enjoyable. Good job.

Great job with the theme

One idea I had is that the platforming could have had more of an emphasis on being the right size to fit through certain bits. All in all, good work.

Overall fun game! Would make a great mobile game with some more levels. :)

I really like the constraint that you can shoot yourself to death, but the controls are a bit too floaty/slow, so it felt like a lot of time was spent backtracking when you missed a jump :P Anyway, a very well executed growth theme!

Nice job! I really like the bullets = health concept, and there's no need for a health bar when your character's representation makes it so clear.
