Really cool submission. I found that I could stack make a candy cane ladder by calling back one and then throwing immediately. Obviously this isn't intended so I didn't use it but I think you could fix it by having a cooldown so you can't throw the canes right after calling them back. I also wish that there would more interesting problems more often, most of it was a simple matter of sticking a cane in a wall and then jumping on it. The bit at the end where you put two canes on top of each other was a really cool moment though, I wish there were more like it. I noticed that throwing a cane at a moving platform lead it to suspend in the air, maybe this could be used as a mechanic? Really cool game though with good art and music and gameplay that's good but could be even better with some expansion.
