Hey LuaMakesGames, thank you for your detailed feedback, love to hear it!
Nice catch with the Super Mario World - it was actually the inspiration for the glide phase, before you flap.
Since both of us made parts of the arts assets and due to the timing constraint, some animations and art sprites received a little less polish than we would have liked. But nevertheless love to hear that you enjoyed it and also that there's still room to improve.
Concerning you're main critque - we agree, the slow crawl speed is to punishing/toxic after the first try. I wish we still had more time to add that for consecutive attempts.
But i'd like to personally thank you again for playing our game and hope you had a good time with it!
