I liked the originality of brickbreaker meets platformer, the shooting mechanic was cool. There was one level, the level after green, where on the removing the second blocking gate I got very lost, it didn't seem clear where to go. Also, on the green level, the blocks I was meant to be shooting were also a very green colour similar to the background, this meant that it wasn't clear what I was being blocked by when my character didn't move. Level clarity is really important if the goal is to create a slick time-trial platformer and sometimes I felt lost, or as if I could get a better time now that I know the correct way. The problem with asking the player to do this again however, is that the levels are fairly long, it's not a supermeatboy style retry the last 4 seconds, it's minutes of replaying something the players already done

Again I really like the novelty here and I'm glad you added more mechanics than many other platformers this gamejam! For a first game it's incredibly clean
