The design in this game is SO GOOD!!! I love how everything is set up, interconnected, and works together. Nothing is too simple to find, but nothing is too difficult either. This game had me in the perfect flow state, with perfect pacing of the roll out of abilities, and fun moments of destroying the traps. The sheer creativity of the magical notebook puzzles, as well as certain abilities like the roof cling is super awesome. I love the characters limbs contorting to whatever it's walking on, as it feels really nice. The movement is super polished as well, and it's really fun just to walk around. There are a few small things, such as the softlock in the castle before unlocking jump, but it's really minor. The visuals are nice as well, and I can tell that you would make them even better given more time. All of my problems are really just things that I'm sure you would've fixed with more time, so it's no big deal at all. Great job using the time you had to make such a fun, well-designed experience!!

This really made my day, I had a work catastrophe (which thankfully resolved well) but this really nice to read in the midst of my panic. I’m curious, do you have a sense of how you played? And did you uncover the family crest? Nothing says it’s the family crest but it’s pretty unmistakable.
Lots of updates are coming: art upgrades, polish, more content, etc. Thanks again for trying it out!
I'm glad the your catastrophe resolved well, and that I could brighten your day!! The only thing that I could really define to how I played it is with curiosity I guess. I was excited to explore what your game had to offer, so I was just exploring at my own pace. When I got softlocked, I was a little confused, but I was pretty sure it was a mistake, so I started over, gave it another go, and had a really great time! I believe I found the family crest, presuming that it's that circle with the teardrop thingy that appeared from the cave and is on the castle. Again, really great game, I'm excited to see where it goes, and what you make in the future!!
