what fun! I managed to beat it, on the last level I noticed that i could skip the glass entirely if I just used as much space as possible on the initial platform and the middle bit, I felt like that was intentional and I had fun "breaking" things as intended. And the music was awesome, I never got tired of it. I was amazed how fast the odd controls felt intuitive. One thing I feel like you teed up but I never saw was a reason to use the backtracking or windows, I was anticipating levels where you had to enter and exit a level repeatedly (eg to go back to get a key). I assume that was a scope thing. Anyways, awesome work, I had a great time playing!

Not intentional at all, but I love that that's an option! A real Gordian Knot moment there. And you're right about the doors - this was originally intended to be a Metroidvania (or, at least, to have non-linear progression through some of the levels), but deadlines did what deadlines so often do. Thank you for playing!
