Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate the vectorman comparison because genesis platformers were one of my inspirations for this one.
I agree on the ladder grab button. Thats something i thought about adding but needed to focus on other things. If i do a post jam update I'll definitely add that.
And i think something that would add to the look a bit is more post processing and particle effects for the foreground. That's something else I'd add in a post jam update
