wow. just. wow. there are a lot of ways that people can feel satisfaction from playing a game, with one of those being simply having the ability to feel cool. your game totally nails it! presentation-wise, it's exceptional and it's very easy to be able to run, move, and hop around like you're some kind of expert ninja. very, VERY satisfying to traverse through and look at. i also love how much you committed to the wonderland theme, it gives the game its own unique tone.

unfortunately i could not get past level 2 as i'm not a particularly skilled gamer nor shot - perhaps it's just due to my own abilities, but i think i would've been able to continue the game further if the progress bar carried over or if checkpoints were possible!

all in all i'm super impressed. i was actually surprised to see this was made in Godot, since i figure a game like this could much easily be made in UE or unity, but i think this shows you've made great use of the program with just a few months of experience. i would love to see more of this game for sure, you did a fantastic job!

Thank you! That was the best thing I cou've have read before going to bed yesterday (and even nicer to reread Monday morning)! :)

"i also love how much you committed to the wonderland theme, it gives the game its own unique tone."

I was always mesmerised by the Wonderland and many possibilities that it can be interpreted.
I'm fresh after reading both of the Alice books and I really loved the old American McGee's Alice games. I'm happy that I could finally express myself with this theme!

"unfortunately i could not get past level 2 as i'm not a particularly skilled gamer nor shot - perhaps it's just due to my own abilities, but i think i would've been able to continue the game further if the progress bar carried over or if checkpoints were possible!"

I've tried to balance the game around my own abilities as a playtester but then decided to make it easier because I'm aware that after so many hours I can basically play it in my sleep :P
Thank you for letting me know that this might still not be enough difficulty/wise. I have initial plans to implement difficulty options and tweak the procedural level generation to make the first levels easier and the last ones harder. I will reconsider progress/exp bar carrying over whenever you fall - maybe a new, "chill" gamemode. :)

Hello!
I have just updated the game and ported it to the browser. Improved ".exe" is still available at the bottom of the page.
I have also added speciall easy/chill mode just for you. In that mode, you won't loose exp (as requested) when you fall. You can switch between the modes whenever you want without loosing progress. Enjoy!
