Not quite "hardcore" platformer. I've only played for 24 minutes but I think that's enough time to get a feel for the game. So far mechanics are basic, with a jump and dash being the only "moves". The format is like many of these platform games; avoid all the death, and reach the goal. Begins to ramp up in difficulty quickly and steeply. Haven't managed to complete the first world yet, but I will update my review as appropriate.
Graphics are nice and cheerful. Music is a little repetitive but I'm fine with repetition. Controls are reasonably responsive, certainly playing with a gamepad. It's Early Access and the developer seems to be fairly active. So far there are two worlds available, each with ten levels. Some boss battles could be interesting, but that might require some offensive capabilities for our hero. With a name like Jazz Lightning I would imagine he could develop a number of electricity based abilities like a zap ray or a full on Thor lightning storm.
I would like to see a double jump or wall jump added to increase the move set of the hero a little and to help those of us who sucked at Mario and never got much better! This definitely has a PC platformer of the 90s kinda vibe. Think Commander Keen, Zool or Jazz Jackrabbit although not as polished or frantic as any of those titles! I do believe this game shows promise and I will certainly keep an eye out for updates.
Best wishes to the developer. Hope he reads the reviews.

Cool and fun game. Easy to medium lvls had fun playing all the lvls but unfortunately on the 9th lvl on the 2nd castle it bugs out and you can not retry again other than restarting the game. Other than that some really cool and intense lvls but it needs more mobility options to make it even more fun other than the ability you have. Recommended for the price!
