Cute and nice overall style! Loved it quite much. The game was way longer than I expected it to be, such a shame I wasn't able to know what the other slot will contain :)
My constructive criticism would be changing item cycling to another button, as playing with arrow keys with my right hand, and jump/item with my left hand put my hand in a rather awkward position.
Also why the heart statue doesn't heal me unless I am dead?
Anyway, nice work!
Sadly I ran out of time and couldn't make more levels using all the potions! Great feedback for the keyboard only controls! I will definitely change that in the future. Healing at the statue would be smart too! Thank you for playing!
Lovely sprite-work. I felt that some of the jumps to some platforms were too tight, but overall, nice job!
I'd love to add ledge forgiveness next time! Appreciate the comment
