I had run across this game a while back and played it, but I forgot to check something out after I got the ability to fly so I played it through again just now to "complete" it.  Was hoping for a bit more in the "secret" area, but hey, it was still entertaining playing through a second time.  Thanks for a fun little diversion!

What a nice little game! Did you use any game engine?

found out that if you get the fly star, then get thru its section, and then before beating it, head to the part where you gain the first star, then go to the room to the left and fly over, you find "Dazlog"s hideout :)

realy cool

Also there's this weird bug where he won't jump up onto the platform IDK 0:12

Bug report 1, priority: negative
When you first get the jump ability it plays a flap sound effect if you jump while running off an edge, occasionally it plays and you don't even get to jump. Was this intended or did I find a bug?

You see, I make it my mission to find at least one bug in every game I play.

i realy love this! i played it and it looped, i have never seen a looping game before, i beat it again to see if anything would happen, but nothing happened.


Amazing 10/10 reccomend  must play needs more attention

Very fun, and decently challenging platformer! I also like the pixel art and the music!

Lovely Gameboy aesthetic with a good choice of palette and authentic sound effects. Gameplay loop is very satisfying with an interesting mix of styles, good progression, forgiving retry system and a well designed world.

The music is fantastic too, and it seemed at least to me, to synch up with the movement of certain world elements.

Lovely work all round, and certainly something to be very proud of. Oh, and I found your hideout!

such a great job!!

you should continue this game or maybe create a new one with the same feeling and gameplay (it reminds battlekid a lot!! love it)

love every second of it!

Very cute game and ending :) 

Could you provide a downloadable windows version of the game? It's awesome!

Cool loop to the game!

Super cool, awesome art)

Hey! This is great!  The gameplay was fun, not too easy, not too hard. The graphics are cute, and the concept is briliantly executed. I enjoyed every second of it. Keep up the good work.

It's a great game! I loved it!

Delightful retro art and tunes! Gameplay felt balanced with tight controls. Given more time, a map to track unexplored areas could be a fun addition. Overall, a quick and enjoyable playthrough.

I got it! I GOT IT!! Boah, this was so challenging for me - feel sooo rewarded now. What a great game - in all aspects. The controls are  at the point, graphic is super cool, music, gameplay, the whole concept and the story. And all of this in 72h - amazing!

Wish you good luck and success with the Jam rating.

Super clean entry. I am only saddened by the fact that I “beat” the game before I got to explore a secret I wanted to check out, and now I have to play through the whole game again to go see what it was. I thought I was checking out a secret, but was really finishing the game XD.

daymmmm!

This is awesome, so good for 72h!
