Really loved this. Platforming section felt really flowing and smooth, and I feel like there was probably a mix of sonic and crash bandicoot making the influence for this game.
I would maybe add some time limit to fit with the story, or if there was one it wasn’t very obvious. Having things get darker as the game falls closer to night time and the time limit for John Armadillo would have been the icing on the cake.
The poem at the start of the game was great, exceptionally creative. As was the ending cutscene; I assume that video was taken mid-jam as you were refueling :). Overall, a really nice game.
