I'm not sure how to put this into words exactly, but this was beautifully made. The soft encouragement until the yearning and then the words giving up at the end, in the most beautiful way possible. This is a wonderfully made game as well. I truly felt accomplished after the end.
I really enjoyed what I played. I gave up on level three early. The level design does itself well by slowly introducing new concepts with well-placed checkpoints. The music and atmosphere were wonderful and engaging.
Hi bucketfish, loved this game, felt really well-tuned; it was challenging without being table-flippingly frustrating. We think this is a great fit for our site (Coolmath Games)--if you're interested please email us at games@coolmath.com. Thanks!
the movement on this feels pretty good but I have to stand in the line of people who couldn't make past the "wow, let's go" part and I will blame the web build for now (even though it plays kinda smooth).
I'm most amazed by the fact that you made your own font. thought I was a true solo dev, but now I know I need to step up my game :)
went from 27:50.37 and 330 deaths to 2:45.21 and 8 deaths! this is the only game i've enjoyed enough to grind for hours on end to beat my best time and get on the leaderboard :)
This is super neat! The gameplay feels so smooth, but at the same time snappy enough for a platformer. Really love the whole atmosphere: the colors, the particles, the music. I often feel kinda stressed by platformers, but this one had a calm and cute feeling to it. The gameplay itself is kinda hard at some points but still perfectly possible.
Edit: Oh wow, you did EVERYTHING by yourself? That's impressive. It all fits together quite perfectly!
still well done tho!! i'm glad you're enjoying it :) if you think speedrunning is cool you can check out my discord server linked in my website, we have a small community here running this game haha. but thank you!!
asjkfhjka thank you! a lot of people get stuck at level three, good luck if you're still trying to make it :) ajhfdkgj and i super appreciate you supporting my games alskfjsa !!!
For what it's worth, I also got stuck at that point; I just couldn't seem to jump that far. (Lots of landing on the rectangle.)
On the other hand, it's such a relief to play a platformer that doesn't actively hate the player. Soothing music and color scheme, friendly font, encouragement, adequate checkpoints...love it.
Finally got it, after like a half hour of trying. I got stuck at the same jump on level 5 for a long time too. XD
My feedback would be to improve the way you do the smaller jumps. I would lightly tap it exactly the same, but it would jump at different heights each time.

aaah thank you so much!! i did do everything by myself :) i'm glad you enjoyed it!
42 minutes and over 500 deaths, needless to say I suck at the game. It's really cool though. Really difficult but doable.
wow, congrats!! many people give up at around level 3 or 5. you have Big Perseverance :D
Oh... trust me I considered it haha. But I had to get to the end! It was a nice challenge ;3
Played 45 minutes, but just couldn't beat the "I have no choice" part. Still, fun little game - good job!
oh boi! you're this close to beating the game haha. but thank you!!
proud of my 5:43 and 73 deaths ;^)
ooh NICE! that's a pretty good run if it's your first attempt :D
I LOVED IT
everyon is speed running while I am happy to have finally beaten thr game at all with 7:20 time and 88 deaths :-D
still well done tho!! i'm glad you're enjoying it :)

Ooooooh i like it especially the was jump feels very clean and its very pretty for its simplicity
thank you!! :D
i love this :DDDD i'm stuck at level three HAHA but it's a wonderful game !! the colours are so calming too
asjkfhjka thank you! a lot of people get stuck at level three, good luck if you're still trying to make it :) ajhfdkgj and i super appreciate you supporting my games alskfjsa !!!
It's such a great and beautiful game! The aesthetic and music are superb :-)
Sadly, I'm stuck on level 3 before "woo, let's go!" too :-(
thank you so much !! aaa
i've now updated the game so that level 3 is slightly easier, so maybe you could give it another go 👀 hehe
Oh, thanks a lot, now I could actually beat level 3 and the last two levels :-)
As I said, great work :-D
bealtiful game, very good movement, music and sound effect (simple but effective). I was stuck on the same part too ;-)
I liked the text talking to the player too
thank you!! i'm really like the text too haha. the game is updated now so that level 3 is slightly easier, if you wanna give it another go! 👀
Very pretty! I couldn't get past the jump before the "woo, let's go!" in level 3, though, sadly. I tried everything I could think of.
thank you so much! you could try watching the playthrough video in the description, it might help :)

aah, thank you so much!
i hope to release a small patch so that players can actually get past level 3. thanks for your encouragement :
Agree game is very beautiful and I love the music and charming atmosphere. Likewise stuck here, found it too tricky to get the timing right
Finally got it, after like a half hour of trying. I got stuck at the same jump on level 5 for a long time too. XD

nice game
the visuals and music were pretty cool
the jump seems kind of buggy and i never made it past level 3 but, its a pretty neat game
