Thank you for the feedback and i do agree with what you said. As for the theme I was originally gonna have objects you find unlock your abilities like dashing and double jump etc. that way the player would have to explore the map and come back to areas they couldn't reach before to collect the pocky. I spend a lot of time on the player movement to make it feel good however due to this I ran out of time to implement everything i mentioned above and I didn't want to waste the work i did so I submitted what I had.
