This may be my favorite use of minimalism in the jam. Fantastic work. That said I did sorta get turned around and lost after somehow wrapping back around to one particular spot on I *want* to say the third island? I thought I had made some good progress but somehow ended up backtracking and it felt pretty encouraging as I had no new tools nor vantage and had simply lost progress. Honestly I think outside of a metroidvania jam this concept is just awesome as a platformer with more self contained, time trial-y levels. The visuals, music, and overall vibes come together fantastically as well.
Great stuff!
