This was such a fun concept and game! I was so invested in little Leonardo and getting out of the hole in the ground but my goodness it was hard to get the hang of for me! Maybe having a way to save an attempt or checkpoints or something would go a long way for us who suck at this kinda game :P
The art style is insanely cool as well btw! Well done can defo see this being played by youtubers etc

Checkpoints were something we considered early on but didnt really fit the genre we were going for, but instead we kinda designed checkpoints via the level design that once you got past a certain section to a new area like the minecart area you'd be "safe" there. If we had the time though possibly could of looked into having an 'Easy' mode with some form of checkpoint system.
Yeah the flying can take a bit getting used to but once you do its quite rewarding. Though probably some parts we could of tweaked a bit more but didn't want to make it to easy. Im glad though you enjoyed it overall!
