Cannot interact with the main menu. The visuals look good from what I can see, but I can't actually play it.

Solid little game that fits the theme.
It would be nice if you could restart in one-click after dying instead of having to go back to the main menu.
The sprites look really good though, and giving the character a white border for high-contrast with the background was a good design choice. Nice work!

Worked well for me. I like the jumpin noises. I wasn't too sure if the umbrella did anything, but I enjoyed the coin explosion. I also appreciated the random comments when you died. One day I'll see the princess...

This is a game that works really well ! The gameplay is cool and I like to mood of the game : funny messages when you die, the visuals etc.. I had a lot of fun by playing this game even if it's "simple" in term of mechanics and concept.
For the problems that i find on the game, there is the concept that is a bit too simple and the fact that the game crash when you launch it or when you lose and want to go back to the main menu.
For me, it's an effective game. Not innovent but fun, and that's what we expect of a game before all !

Like the graphics! But it's a bit hard for me because of the slippy ground.

@xpoho We are aware of some problems when launching the game. Thank you for the feedback!

@crotonyl-alcohol Thanks! I tried my best when making the art. "Unstable" Controls are part of the experience of the game, we made that decision on purpose because of the theme, thanks for playing :)

Nice little game. Like the graphics and atmosphere. A restart button or instant restart would be nice instead of going back to the main menu and choosing difficulty again. Well done!

@voodinator Yeah, when the jam finnished we will definitely add an instant restart. I guess It would benefit a lot from it. Thanks for the feedback!

Nice fun game, the in another volcano part was funny=) I would make the game look skip Menu and difficulty select. And make it an instant respawn in same settings because it got annoying a bit to have to click new game - easy - after each death. But other than that - pretty cool.

Neat. I love difficulty options. The instant restart thing sounds like a good plan. I like it! Even makes me not want to goo *too* fast because of falling rocks.

I liked that game ! The graphics are really cute, and the sounds work well ! I just had some tiny problems with the platforms collisions sometimes and the ground is a bit slippery, but other than that, I had fun !

Okay, this is solid jam entry. May be little overboard with shaking and speed, but it was fun to play. Sometimes I was seeing tears between tiles. Good luck with the game!

I thought the controls were a little awkward, and it was annoying to have to click through the menus again every time I died. Overall, though, nice work! :)
