I feel like the movement is a little clunky. Sometimes I cannot get the player to jump as high as I want him to. Other than that great and challenging levels - well done!

It was a neat idea that was fairly fun. I understand the reason for the fixed jump velocity, but it felt frustrating. Also the fact that your jump behavior is very fixed but you control bouncing off walls was counter-intuitive.

I quite like the concept here! Although the controls feel a little sluggish, the levels are still interesting and fun. I like the extra challenge added by making the character bounce off of walls

Nice hit on the theme! :D I'm not really a platformer guy, so maybe I'm a bit biased but at first the auto wall jumping felt good, but soon it turned to be a annoying. Though jumping/physics are always really hard to implement well. Other than this, good entry! :)

I enjoyed the bouncing off walls a lot. I encountered a minor bug where sometimes I seemed to jump way higher than usual, but otherwise it was a fun game!

Epic game. Actually gets harder as it goes on. Genuinely enjoyed playing it :) Nice twist on the theme too

The system of using corner to jump is interesting (if I'm not mistaken it), but the skill build-up for player can be more smooth.

This is a simple and fun little puzzle platformer. The music and visuals is fine. The controls could perhaps have been a bit better, but it's not a bit issue. Overall a fun little jam game. Well done.

I managed to get to level 4. I really couldn't figure out how to control jumps consistently... Nice idea though, and for people who are good at this sort of thing probably well executed :)

One minor bug (which did get a bit annoying as I triggered it a lot), reset doesn't reset direction, and sometimes a bit of velocity survives too.

I reached stage 15. At first I found it strange but then I got used to the mechanics. I liked the game, I had fun, but I couldn't solve phase 15.

Fun game, really had to think with some of these levels. Fun mechanics and I kept playing till the end!

Nice entry! a bit tricky to master the jumps :sweat_smile:

That's an interesting mechanic. A simple but efficient game. Not much to say but I didn't enjoyed the music, the bassline was a bit too much stressful imho. Doesn't represent the mood of the game very well. Good work overall!

Cool character, the wall thing felt surprisingly natural and you managed to create a lot of levels with pretty natural progression in difficulty. Many jam games either are to underestimates the player and makes it too easy and some uses their best idees and it becomes to hard too early. But I think you managed it well. Maybe a bit repetitive music but it was better than silence. Great game! Good job!
