solid game, great art, I just feel like some platforms were ambiguous, whether I should jump on them or not

Small note about the mechanic:
Thereās a moving platform on the right, and during the first loop, itās actually quite hard to reach it with a perfect jump.
So I added the spike path on the left as an intentional alternative:
You can take the risk and try for the moving platform, or go through the spikes — take some screen cracks, but progress more safely.
Unfortunately, when I gave the game to a female friend to test, she thought the spikes had to be avoided at all costs — so I guess thatās my fault as a game designer š
Next time Iāll try to communicate that choice more clearly!
Oh, so you can reach that platform! I didnāt even try to go for it, I took the mines every time because the other path seemed like an impossible jump.
Also, I felt like some of the platform art looks like itās part of the background rather than an actual path you can take. The mine area felt like that too, when I first tried to go that way, I fell, so I got confused about whether it was a real path or not
