Did not enjoy the fact that everything completely resets if you hit a green person, but if you hit spikes you just respawned at the beginning of that level? Total bs.
CONTROLS: Left and Right arrow keys to move, up arrow key to jump.

Oh no, poor duck tank has had their webbed tracks busted up and their laser beak is on the fritz. Help them try to get home in this sorta uncomfortable platformer.
The theme for this game jam is "Out of control". So I took control out of the player by removing the smooth movement that one would normally expect in a platformer. I also took out the direct control the player has over the laser by tying it with the movement.
Note: This is my first game jam, so I mostly value feedback and would greatly appreciate it if you were to send it my way.

I like what you've done here. I get that you have made this a "sorta uncomfortable platformer." Yes, the movement is really wanky!
I don't know how many levels you created, but I did manage to get to about the fifth screen and everything reset back to square one. I think you might want to add some checkpoints for player enjoyment. And the screen field is very small. I did have to increase my screen size to about 240%. Maybe tweak those issues. But overall a great first game jam! Congrats!
Screen is much too small, movement is dodgy, and each level needs a checkpoint.
Starting over after finishing several maps is NFG. A clear objective would help, too.
