Hi. I was looking through devlog updates and stumbled upon your game. Decided to have a look. You have a pretty nice pixel-art. You obviously need to do a lot for this project). But, I want to give some feedback. I guess that you want people to play this with a controller, however I played with a keyboard and controlls are a bit unintuitive. I don't think there's a reason to make two buttons for jump. I can press Z and I can press Space. Sometimes it can be confusing and in my opinion it's better to remove Z as Space is more comfortable and intuitive. Also, wall jumping is strange. Instinctively I want to hold arrow button and then press jump and at the same time hold the opposite side arrow button to leap to the other wall. Here I fall down doing so. Maybe it makes sense to improve it.  There're a lot of ice walls, but if game has wall jump you probably want to use it more. Jump I think is too low or walls in some places are too high. I won't say anything about sound because I guess it's just a placeholder for now. Particles are nice and have a really juicy impact. Small enemies (slimes) are maybe have too many HP. When I see some enemy that looks like a tiny slime I think that it is very weak and can be killed in 2-3 hits. And sorry for that, but I still don't understand what I need to do with that smile holding on a pillar and can't proceed further in the level). I like your idea of the game and really looking forward to what you plan to implement into your game. Waiting for updates. Hope this comment helps you in your development.
