Thanks for your feedback.

The "double jumping" is one of the things that the most time was spent on. In-fact, it was decided that the velocity-based mechanic was more fun than a typical double-jump, and opened up more variety in designing the levels and playing them.

The only glitch that we have noticed is with the textboxes/portraits, and these are things we intend to fix later in a future update. The jam schedule was tight to handle all the things on our list of items to fix.

Disastrous is probably a bit strong of a term though.

Today we are unleashing an update to Gelda with a bunch of fixes that we hope you will like.

• Abi is not based on velocity anymore and works more like a double-jump
• Gelda can now let go of Abi while gliding
• Text boxes now are destroyed correctly
• Troll disappears when you get far enough away so you are not stuck/trapped anymore
• Gelda can now duck to look down to avoid leaps-of-faith
• Checkpoints now work correctly and do not activate before being reached
• Fixed collision issues in the Misty Wood - 2 level
• Reduced death/respawn sequence time
• Reduced time for level name screen for faster play
• Added option to quit to title during playing via the pause menu (press ESC to pause)
• Cleaned up major graphics splicing issues
• Optimized rendering and collision checking to reduce lag

Please give the updated game a whirl and let us know your thoughts.
