great game!
only complaint is that the difficulty curve is quite steep, so don't try this until you have at least a bit experience with platformers and the basic mechanics

The first part in the body with the two whatevers over spikes is terrible only because I can't seem to walljump anymore

The game design of this game shines! Amazing work on the levels, they really tell the story for you! the mechanics of the main character where so appealing and fun to use. Hats of to you sir! I would've liked the wall jumping to be a bit more polished. I almost cleared a hard platforming session that ends with wall jumping but because of the wall jumping i could not clear it. The hard part of a puzzle should not be the basic movements. I loved the game and i am inspired by your mastery of level design, keep it up! 

I made some changes to the game, mostly minor details, but I also gave the wall jam a bit of a grace period so they are easier to do. I will upload the update after the voting period for this jam is over.

The game was too difficult to beat on my first sitting, and too doesn't-save to beat on my second or later.

It takes 20-25 minutes finish it's not that much

Sometimes something comes up in that 20 to 25 minutes. And 20 to 25 minutes is a lot if you're being forced to redo something.

Wow this was amazing I would like to know how many people worked on this project.

me :)

I'm not getting any movement when I start the game on web, is that something with the game or am i doing something wrong? I'm stuck in the original scene, a heart in a pile of blood

the heart is the ending scene and not the beginning if you mean a literal heart. Just try reloading the page.

 If you cant move you probably need to click in the window once.
