A small game for the LudumDare53, where you have to deliver a special request for a strange person. Run through the woods and avoid the creatures to finish your job.

Made it for a novice team, we are proud of the result because it's one of our first games, hope you have fun playing. ;^)

Pretty fun platformer, and difficult too! I think the difficulty of the early levels could be toned down a bit.

For a first(ish) time game, this is really good! I liked the level design and art, but I enjoyed the level design the most! The enemy that shows up in level 3 is genius. He forces you to act quickly and choose your positioning carefully. He was fun to deal with. The only things I think this game really needs are jump buffering and variable jump height. Great game, enjoyed playing it!

Fun game, there seems to be some issue with colliders when standing on top of a pole, but overall it's fun to try to speed run your levels :)

I like it! The low(-ish) friction of the player makes you want to move fast and keep up the momentum. It's quite hard, in a good way! Predictable enemy movement combined with the path finding of the flying enemy makes for a nice challenge. The art is nice, and very consistent. It would have been nice with a more unique take on the classic platformer concept.

it's SO GOOD!!!! the jumping sound is so funny. my only problem is that level 3 is impossible to win, either that little floating thing is way too fast or the spaces between floors are too narrow to jump and dodge. other than that I loved it!
