Damn this is hard.
Couldn't get past the level that was like, one key in an alcove by the bottom, then three up top and the door up top.

I guess you mean the last level (level 7)
The only tip I can give you is to find the fastest way and then just practise that way till you succeed.

The game is very short but I can make a level editor if people want me to.

The explosions are too random. It made the last level (not counting the "THE END" level) really annoying. Why did you get sent back to an earlier level when you complete the game?

I really liked this, though there are some things that could be worked on.  As others have said, the seventh level is very hard, though I suppose this is appropriate for the last level.  I just don't see any way of beating it.

I think you should probably implement variable jumping, as there was one instance (in the sixth level) where I wanted to only jump so high.

I noticed a few bugs.  First of all, I think you die when you jump above the top of the screen.  Also, when you move past the door, the music stops, and you move very slowly.  Finally, on some levels, I noticed that the music wouldn't loop.

Other than that, though, I think this certainly has style (both visually and with respect to the audio), and it has a certain gameplay twist that sets it apart.  Good work,

I guess it´s a bug. You´re supposed to get back to the titlescreen after "The End-level".
Gotta fix that. Glad you told me.

EDIT: I fixed the bugs now and I have also made the last level a bit easier.

[Cheater‽]

I only got title, level and then the "The End" level.

NOW is everything fixed.  :D

Grick! You're back! Huzzah.

Man, this is one hard game, huh? I beat it, but those last few levels were pretty intense. Dig the aesthetic. Cool falling stars and rainbows. Needed the Rainbows. And a good music choice, as usual!

The explosions DO feel random, but I've got a feeling they're not - it's more dependent on my placement. It is finicky, though.

Also, when you finish the game, a.... well, I'm not sure. I feel that I need some kind of trophy. Like Hunny! :D

Personally, I'd like to see a little more, but you are into short, sharp games. Nice first shot at GM.

No level editor but I doubled the amount of levels in there.

Hope you like it!

I really enjoyed the game.  I agree that the explosions are rather unpredictable which makes it hard to play sometimes.  I also thought that the levels that were pure platforming (without the explosions) were generally too easy compared to the explosion based levels(they generally only take me one or two tries rather than the many tries for the more puzzle based explosion levels).

All in all, it was a really fun and (of course) challenging game.  The tension caused by the rising water combined with the planning ahead element of the puzzle-solving made a very intense game experience.

In fact; the whole game is quite easy when you get the hang of how the explosions works/moves.
