Really like the idea (not just because it’s really similar to what I had in mind). Super thankful for gamepad support and I like the pencil-line art, and it was a fun touch to go left. I dig the dissolve shader, the menu and the brief pause before “continue” is selected so you don’t accidentally mash it (esp if dying on the wall jump boss). I almost gave up on the wall jump boss, I think if the bottom was just full of low damage lasers so if you fell a lot, definitely dead, but give a little grace. I don’t have anything else to add that hasn’t already been said, I hope you keep at it!
