I couldn't quite decipher how the hitbox worked for navigating the map. It reminds me of a concentration "don't touch the wire" game, except without knowing exactly what part can't touch, it was hard for me to progress past the S bend after the knives. Besides that the music and art style are great, and the Japanese bee/coffee/stereo is a cool vibe.
Let me know if I am misunderstanding something with the gameplay and I can try again!
