Neat game! I went in completely blind and didn't expect an intro cutscene,but it certainly made it vibe in that kind of arcade intro way (which is good!) I appreciate that y'all made it skippable though. I enjoyed the gameplay a decent amount (despite the fact that I didn't realise how to move quickly until later, I skimmed those instructions pretty quickly), although I did find the flying enemies to be the most difficult to deal with, because I found it hard to avoid their attacks, in part due to ice launcher walk lock cooldown lag (a bit of a mouthful!) Other than that, it was cool to slide about and create over lava. I also liked the aggressive squash and stretch in the animations, very tasty.

Thanks! A lot of work went into the intro (and everything really), but we knew it was important to make it skippable in case people died and wanted to try again. I'm glad you had fun with the gameplay. We probably could have made the intended mechanics a bit clearer, but we were sort of scrambling toward the end (like most everyone, I suppose). I completely agree, those crow archers are no joke. It took me a while to beat the game myself, mostly because of them. I'm happy you appreciate the animation too. I think our animator did a great job. Thank you so much for taking the time to play our game!
