Good job on the game! I love the look.
It's a bit hard though but I enjoyed it. I didn't think it was a "frustrating hard" but just something you want to get better.
Like others said, checkpoints / music would be great additions. I understood you almost didn't make the submission, so huge congrats on your hard work to make it through. Impressive! Was it your 1st game? You don't have anything else on your itch profile.
