The game was fun but on browser it suffers from screen crunch. It fells like I am playing sonic on the gba. So good game but could use some polish. But over all good job!
Cute graphics! I liked it. There were a couple of bugs. If you were in a free-fall but held the movement key towards a ledge, you would stick to the ledge. I also got stuck in black void in the first cave room without a kill screen (yes, I managed to fall of the first platform 😄)
Simple but nice entry. I think it would add a lot just by adding some small things like a Walking animation for the character. Graphics are ok, just as a small suggestion, you could try to make the platforms and path contrast more with the background, so it's easier to navigate. Congrats on finishing the jam! Good entry :)
On my first playthough, I got softlocked between two platforms:
I fell through the ground on my second. On the third try though, I reached the end!
A few small changes could go a really long way towards making this feel less frustrating: 1. Zoom out to cover at least 2x as much screen space as we can currently see. Since we're traveling down, this often leads to blind jumps which aren't fun for the player.
2. Increase the contrast between the background and the foreground. Especially when entering the cave, it felt impossible to know what the ground was.
I find it really funny that the same guy (not sure if it's supposed to be the same guy but I decided that for me, he is) warns you to not go any deeper, while going ever deeper himself. Just the same guy running ahead of you again and again to urge you to please stop going deeper. 😄
Nice artwork and congrats on finishing it! Could use some animations and I'm not sure if it was just my system but it was zoomed in a lot. I think especially for pixel graphics it helps to be zoomed out a bit more. I'm sure you learnt a lot and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the future!
Nice little platformer! It was sometimes a bit hard to differentiate between earth the tunnel, plus with the zoom level when going downwards it was hard to see where you will end up (that might be intentional however ;) ). Still a fun game however, plus it has some funky music and a working menu as well!
Actually a cute little game, the only thing i thought was difficult, was that it wasn´t clear for me what is background and what is a real Object but except that this is a nice game
Good job! The art style and music are cute, although I found it a bit difficult to distinguish the character from the background. Also, I think I got somewhat lucky in one of my falls because I didn't get to see the lava. Congrats for finishing the game!
Thank you for your entry! I made it in roughly 1 minute - I love short experiences, it could have been a bit longer though :D
Other improvements: * Jumping Sounds missing * Music loops and gets a bit annoying * Character is too far on the right of the screen and the speed is relatively high, so for me it was not enough "Time, to plan ahead"
so... i fell off the first platform and i just fall forever. Otherwise, it's ok.

I fell off the first platform, and into the void I went. The camera absolutely needs to zoom out a little, the player takes up almost 20% of the entire screen! I like the artwork, and the guy with the top hat looked cool! Nice job composing music too!
