As someone who rarely plays platformers, this game is really hard, especially since you have to start at the beginning. Further, the combat system feels a bit clunky. However, the idea is great and the game looks very good, great job!
Thank you for the feedback - I think I should've added a checkpoint system for sure - even if it was just one where you spawn on the closest island you died nearby rather than going back to the start and sitting through the cutscene again.
