Graphics look nice, though sad to have a sword and not be able to use it. I would appreciate remapping controls in the future. Up arrow is a bit awkward for me to jump with. It was unclear if you should walk over the red or avoid it. I spent half the game avoiding, then noticed it filled up a meter to give me an upgrade, though most seemed like a curse. Maybe in the future you could make it so it wasn’t avoidable to collect that resource, otherwise it is totally possible to just skip that part of the game and get to the end. Nice work on your first entry!
