Seems like there are game jams going on all over the place, so many of them! And this was great, the graphics, game layout, music and sound effects all remind me a bit of Cave Story (which is a long-time favorite, so that's great). I love the varied sceneries, the clear sounds, ambient and really dynamic background music, and the somewhat entertaining plot mixed in. Like when you get the 'blaster' the first time, lmao, what a subtle way of introducing the key to be used! XD Controls were a bit strange at first, in particular the jump, as you seem to pounce rather than just skip around easily, but you get used to it. And the game is a a real adventure, nice work!
