Love the perspective in this one, I can't say I've ever seen that before, it's subtle, but really adds to the feel of the game

Looks cool but I couldn't figure out how to reach the glowing orb in the tutorial level. What did I miss?

Pretty cool to play, the gameplay deserve better graphics, but it is very fun :)

Cool perspective and the game makes fun.
But, the animation makes the controls really clunky, it shouldn't jump in the animation :P... Also with such a perspective the controls should feel responsive and NO SLIDING xD... my 2 cents

But, great game !

Not sure I like the perspective but the motion of the character is very pleasing ... it 'feels' good

Danman9914 - you can sprint with holding down shift key and jump farther.
Thanks for giving feedback!

You should use the Embed url from Itch! (Widget -> Embed game -> "Ludum dare? Just paste this link")

Reached level 6 with the lava. I couldn't make it much further. I couldn't easily predict when jumping would go high and when it would go lower. After picking up the triangle it seemed random? Not sure.

Apart from that, the game looks good! Had a fun time blasting through the levels before 6.

Nice game, great graphics and music! I agree with the others about the bouncing animation making it difficult to control. A lot of the difficulty was in timing the animation with the edge of the platform. It would have been good to have some simpler levels that showed you what each of the shapes meant - I didn't really learn what the different shapes were, I just kinda picked them up and assumed it would help (which it always did). Anyway, good job!

simple concept, effective game. controls are a bit floaty

Wuhu! I finished! :) Cool Game! Reminded me a bit of supermeatboy! As others pointed out, maybe the bouncing made it hard to jump, but nothing uncontrollable :)

Keep up the good work! :)

The character is super cute! I really like the concept and the game play. The soundtrack was awesome too!
For me, the controls were a bit hard, but that's probably just because I suck at platformers lol. Also the difference in abilities between each different shape was not big enough for me to notice any advantages in using a certain shape... but again, that might just be me.
Overall I had fun with this game! :D
The character is like a little jelly monster. aww.

Great level design. Felt a little "off" with the caracter bounce. I see a potential for a great game if you keep making it. Great jam entry!

The ending was kind of funny. The controls were kind of weird, but then I got use to them.

This was a great game to play with good visuals. The levels were nicely setup and I liked how there were little messages to give you hints on what to do. The movement was a bit floaty, but nothing too difficult to deal with. Music was pretty nice as well! Good work!
