There is no read ending to this game as i couldn't compete the full 48 hours, i focused mainly on my first pixel art. Have a quick play :)

I can't get up from the bottom!The jumping is a little bit odd for me...
But I like how the game looks:)

Am I... am I setting lightbulbs on fire? :laughing:

I think double jumping feels a bit odd because you are adding a velocity to existing velocity, rather than zeroing it before doing a double jump? It seems like it works if you double jump 'on the way up', but doesn't if you are 'on the way down' in the jumping arc

I really like the pixel art in this game. The controls are a bit weird, the double jump needs work (like @mrnyarlathotep said, the velocity should be set to 0 before the double jump to make it consistent) and the collision is a little wonky (I found it very hard to jump on the enemies).

For 48 hours, definitely a solid entry! Great work!
