Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed review. I hope you know how much this means to me!
The running/foot steps issue has been a tough one to fix. But I have been working on it all morning and I believe it's at a good spot now. Now while running, the footstep sounds are quicker which makes it feel much more accurate.
I will also work on the end of the slide animation. I also want a nice fast SPLOOSH when finishing. I may add a splash/camera shake in addition to adjusting the speed curve to make the whole exiting the slide more realistic (and fun!)
The pools in the first big room can definitely be accessed with a little help from a chair....:P
The dresser drawers were not made to open but I can look into adding some interaction with that object other than just picking it up and throwing it around, haha.
The [REDACTED] in that room may or may not do something when you investigate the matching color area in that room........ :o
We may revisit the rocky area and other outdoor areas in future levels.
Again, I really appreciate the time you took to play and review my game. I can't wait to expand on it and deliver something really fun!
