I love this game but I'm horribly stuck - have been trying what feels like every imaginable route from my current savepoint several times a day for a week now without success - the sun always gets me, eventually. I've actually identified the - probably - only possible way up from there but it means having to jump over an overhanging ledge/step, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it. I know that it is possible (although it feels like gravity shouldn't allow it) because it's how Neco the Sergal progressed from that area in the video linked in the first comment for this game, at timestamp 21:15. But when I hit jump while underneath that ledge, all I manage I do is hit the ledge, not jump across it.

So; can anyone tell me how to make that jump? In a traditional platformer I'd say it needs a doublejump powerup - but that's not a thing here...

Replying to myself in case anybody else encounters this issue: the solution (as is actually visible in the video I mentioned, I just didn't really grasp the difference this detail would make) is to *stand sideways* underneath the overhang, and then jump. For some reason you can jump up over an overhanging ledge sideways, but not head-on.
