Really cool game! The music and graphics are my favorite part. The game idea is interesting and using the dash attack is super satisfying. The box on the bottom left with info about the masks is super helpful as well. My only complaint is that it feels a bit tedious when dying and having to go through the areas again, not sure how to fix that though because this doesn't seem like a checkpoint kind of game, maybe a bit more randomness would help? Other than that your game feels and looks super polished, and your itch page looks really cool as well. Great work!

Ah! The game design here was supposed to incentivize the player to die over and over in order to find the optimum path for themselves (like how a speed runner would find the best optimum route) , and the level of randomness was kept to a minimum with some consistency so its speedrunner friendly , speaking of speedrunning someone can complete the game sub 50 quite consistently , so this game was definitely made for partially with speedrunners in mind or the same way that a speedrunner would play (quick resets , planning out paths and having consistent enough interactions) But at the same time I can understand why some people might find that tedious so completely fair on that! And glad to hear you enjoyed the game!!!
