Loving the game!
Found a bug though that locked up my game: the gate from the forest to the hills can still be "interacted" with after you open it, playing the little scene of Maya opening it again... except the gate is already gone, so the game just locks up because there's no gate to be opened... I'd had to reload (cause of the other problem below) so I tapped too fast through the scene and ended up triggering it again and locking myself inside the cutscene...
Also, might be because I have the whip, but I couldn't find a way to attack barrels under me, which was awkward in the start of the hills area, where there's barrels on top of the timed gate... they fell down into the path forward, making it so I couldn't get through, but the timed gate had closed behind me so I just got totally stuck there...
