I loved the intro but didn't liked the art style and the sounds of the game. Sometime the sound missed and double jump didn't worked. The first 4 games are a walk in the park and then the last level is just a walk in Hell, no balance at all.
So i decide to give 2.5 stars. Was a OK game, you made a good intro and a decent platform game despite some technical problems.
PS. I hated the boss fights and the last world. SO FRUSTRATING!

It's meant to piss you off, yes, hahaha
It was satisfying, a nice hit on par.
Although citing the short time period to not make an outstanding game is a reasonable excuse, the game jam itself is not; as that Jraic fellow stated, it's supposed to flesh out the simplicity in design and the utilization of that rather than the bare minimum.
Not that this game isn't entertaining! I enjoyed it the whole way through. It was a little wonky with the hitbox detection, especially when it came to the last boss, but it was a nice simple progression game with a humourous story and a pot smoking king who you brutally murdered.
With more polish and shine
you guys could make a better game.
Although I was expecting a bit more from the music, but that can be fixed with time too.
A justifiably earned three stars, a satisfying game.
Kolumbo responds:
Thanks
On the bowels of hell level where you go on the super high jump and then try to bounce through that hole in the wall, the game glitched when I landed on the next bouncer after I got through the wall. It's like the game was trying to bounce me and kill me at the same time since I must've hit one of the flying guys. Now it's just looping the bouncing and dying animations and it won't take me back to the start of the level. I'm just trapped on this bounce pad forever dying.

ehhhh
When I was at the final boss, my square dude disappeared and I couldn't go through the door...
Kolumbo responds:
read the desc.
I'm not even surprised of the quality of the game when I see programmer is actually/was a SoupSquad member...
It's a lame platformer, hitboxes are not at all accurate, music is bad, gameplay is bad, graphics same, story... I won't say anything about it. (I don't want a game with ultra super graphics and music, just a game that works, and looks good, even 8-bit that could look awesome but there's nothing inside this one)
Clicking everytime on signs is unpleasant, a button like x or any other keyboard button would be way better than using mouse.
For a game made for game jam, it's at my opinion a shame to upload that. Maybe I'm mean, but at least make a better work in that case to not making me writing these kinds of reviews.

alrighty
