The hand drawn art was really cute. A lot of the puzzles were also fun. But I think the game could do with some more direction/hints like I didnt even realise you were meant to collect the golden statues till like no4. Also the controls are a bit janky, you could benefit from coyote time, jump buffers, etc. Also the sounds got annoying after a bit, just hearing tick after tick drove me insane

also, the collectibles are entirely optional, and all they do is unlock an extra challenge, which is told at the end of the game. it's just, well, at the end of the game, so makes sense you wouldn't see it.
and yeah, the sound is annoying, but it's genuinely my first time giving a game sound, so... it'll get better, trust.
