Fits Theme: I guess there is something at the end? because I didnt beat it and didnt see anything in aligh with theme

Fun: Good mechanics learning, quite interesting approach. But there are a few things that makes this game harder to enjoy.

1) feels laggy - I dont know why, but I just turn on my frame view to check if this game is lagging but it shows me 280fps

2) input lag -  the character didnt react instantly on the input, there is lets say 250ms input lag. Not sure what it is, perhaps an acceleration curve? If yes, would be cool if the acceleration will start not form 0, but from lets say 20% of max speed.

3) too slow - the movement is too sluggish. The game will be much more fun with  for example 1.5 speed

4) wall jumps didnt register - It feels random, I dont know how to make sure that wall jump will register. Usually the platformers cheat, to helps the player, but this time I feel cheated when my wall jump didnt register.

Thanks for playing and constructive criticism!

If you reached the wall jump section you got very close to the climax. If you are interested you are welcome to watch the video attached in the submission page or try to continue from where you reached. (Although there is quite a lot of wall jumping coming so be warned XD)

1-2) The laggy feeling is caused by the low frequency update of the color splash, will keep that in mind!

3) I agree, there is much to improve in the movement

4) The wall jumps are a 1 miss fail, missing 1 wall jump means no more wall jumps. I should have made that more clear or let the wall jumps reset with a timer.

Despite I'm not a fan of gore in the slightest, this was made on point, and with care of recent trends.

Thanks for playing and kind words!

I hope it didn't cause you any discomfort, perhaps I should warn about it? (I wanted to keep it a surprise but maybe it's not cool)

I think it could be triggering for some, fortunately it wasn't too much of a problem, just was kinda shocked because I was expecting something cutesy and goofy (I mean - that was the point of the surprise). You did great, happy to see more!
