Very fun to play, the amount of times I fell XD

I ended up flying right into spikes when getting the Don

I found the movement control to be a little difficult, but that sun is really nice looking.

Thanks for playing! Also thank you very much for your feedback, I really appreciate it. I'll work on improving the controls for the next version, stay tuned!

This was neat! I really like the colour palette; the dash especially looks great. I think having dashes be a limited resource *is* an interesting concept but in practice I just found myself standing next to sun alters farming enough for a solid attempt; platform physics and camera could also be a bit smoother; but overall I think this is a really solid submission; great work!

Checkpoints would have been nice, but the dash mechanic is well done, cool game

Thanks! Yeah hehe maybe you're right about the checkpoints. I want to make it a bit more challenging before doing that.
