I love the graphic style and the finishes, and music sounds really cute. Great work !!
One thing I noticed is that the moving platforms affect player velocity in weird ways. This is pretty common when using physics engines; the physics tend to get in the way of the player's intent. It might be worth looking into more explicit movement systems for future games so you can get tighter movement.
Overall nice work!
The only thing I'd criticise is the length of gameplay. It took me about a minute to see both endings. (I assume there's no more than two, since I did some more ambitious tries later and kept getting the same win ending)
BUT: I guess you could easily expand it with more (maybe even random) dialogue or reply options for different amounts of collected thoughts. Seeing the story progress could be an interesting hook for such a simple platforming game.
It overall felt very polished and the "joke" saturation felt good, albeit the game's shortness.
The graphics looked very unique and beautiful, like a real game on steam :D (Really like that coal drawing aesthetic!)
Controls felt very smooth, I would have liked it if you can move one platform down with the down arrow (or S button) although that's probably how you didn't intend it and admittedly added a new challenge to reach those parts :)
Being able to skip the intro would have been nice as it's a rather fast paced game (if you suck, anyway) but that's a minor detail almost nobody has time for at a jam ^^ (neither did we xD)

Also: yay ^^ I'll give it a another shot later, maybe my smooth talking can make them marry me on the spot :P
Good job, guys!
I like your interpretation of the theme, it's quite close to ours in some way ❤️🔥
The platforming controls work fine and the balance between trying to get clouds and time is good. The art is very good. It felt a bit dark/sad, was it on purpose?
Thanks for the game, I had fun!
FYI I had issues on the start menu of the web version on chrome and had to zoom my window for it to display properly. In the game everything was fine.
