Very nice game, the movement is very smooth and feels good. Really like the artstyle and little details like walking on slopes. Had a fun time :)

I like the in-game self-critical comments and then game improvements as you play. I got up to the moving platforms :-)

Really unique game! I love your art style and how you choose to incorporate it into your game. The respawn animation with the pencil and eraser is so good.

The art style and the way the game fits the theme are amazing. The walk animation is cool and i loved the death and respawn animations.

Really cool interpretation of the theme. I love the simplistic artstyle. and the game is just difficult enough to be fun but not too difficult.

The end said that you're happy with the game, and you have every right to be. Super fun and creative platformer. Everything feels intuitive, the difficulty ramps nicely, and the art and animation oozes charm and appeal. Nice work!

That was pretty cool. The background with all the different colour sheets of paper made it a bit hard to see what was going on sometimes.

I love the game art and the gameplay. It fits perfect into the theme:] Some Screenshake would be very nice or other particle systems. Nice game, a way better than mine!

Absolutely incredible game, it really fits the theme. It has some quite challenging parts but I'm glad I completed it, it was quite a pleasant experience. The graphics are awesome by the way.

I love the narrative of a developer tweaking their game! The artstyle is neat and the movement feels great. Incredible level design, very interesting levels even though they are made with basic obstacles. More checkpoints in the first part would be nice. Well done!

Had me hooked all the way to the end! Love the art style too. Just wanna throw out there, on the path to the final green key, when the rotating falling platforms fall, they can sometimes respawn atop each other.
