I'd played the game before in a previous build before the art swap, and it's still as solid as it was. Now that you've gone and updated the art though, I've got a couple nitpicks that you'll maybe be interested in, amongst a couple other things:

- The player hitbox is weird; it starts at the shadow and goes up some distance. You have a nice circle at the base; why not center it around that? It would make more sense imo. But I guess then you'd need a different hitbox/target point for the tongues maybe.

- I keep waiting for the level titles to transition automatically. Maybe you could add that in, but maybe it's just me.

- The pixel-perfect option seems to not hold true, unless it's just for scaling. Clouds and characters move off the pixel grid.

- I think the upscaled clouds at the bottom of the title screens are very jarring.

- The sand tiles feel too noisy

I've gotta say the art is very charming now, although I'll miss the smug energy of the old blue fairies! These animations are very good.

Like a lot of the other play testers are saying - this game feels very fleshed out and the art is very nice. It already feels like a lot of the questions that players may have had in previous builds get nicely answered in the first few levels.  The new art is much nicer than the previous stuff (I remember from AGDG threads), although you still have the old fearies in the UI screens. I don't have much in terms of critique as you seem to basically be on top of things. Looking forward to more progress!

I just love the smug fairy, nice animations

I love the new fairy design. This game is charming as always. At some point I'll have to actually try to get to the end.

Got through them all, plus the bonus level(!). Love how the fairies look now, especially the blue one, that one is just incredibly charming, just the pure joy of poking personified. All those great little animation details. And those cool-looking level select graphics look amazing too, just setting the mood for the different tilesets. The speedup behavior at the flag is a nice tweak, I like that it's no longer holding it.

I disagree about what was being said below about that changing fairies should always be automatic, I like how it pauses everything and the manual selection, I prefer using it (maybe because I'm a scrub but still).

All around great job on this, it's really a super fun puzzle game, I always look forward to the improvements you make each demo day.

You've really wringed the soul sponge on this one. I remember when it was just a prototype... Great job; plays well!

Very soulful game, I like it. 

My only gripe is that you can't use "Enter" to select levels and get past the initial level screen while it works everywhere else.

The fairies are really cute tho.

- zip the game folder, not the files (correct: Game.zip/Game/Game.exe, wrong: Game.zip/Game.exe)
- when you end a level, set the level [] cursor on the next level (not the one you just finished)
- mixels make the game look much worse than the quality of individual assets 
- X should toggle automatically between fairies (manual select is a waste of inputs)
- was expecting frogs to be able to eat each other, could be something to explore 
- you piece of shit, taught me about quick switch after 20 levels, make that the default or tell me early
- gameplay is much more fluid with quick switching
- shame only got to use it on the last level

Very smooth experience, the overall structure and level transition feel like from a finished steam game.  The switching requiring 3 buttons instead of 1 became annoying fast, I feel like I was spending more effort fighting the inputs than solving the puzzles. I feel like that ruined the whole experience. Good job otherwise. Gonna make it.

That last level was a bitch, but really good!

- There might be only one song, but it's long enough that it isn't grating on the ears to hear multiple times

-The flag system feels a bit odd. I'm not sure if having different wait times for some levels is necessary.  I'm pretty sure it's in place so the player does it the right way, but when you do having to wait that extra second or two feels more like a punishment.  If it's always set to the short time, the player will know they did it right when they win, otherwise they get ate.  Maybe there's something else I'm not seeing.

-The game is funny. Really funny. And it does with and without obvious jokes. Having the intro to level 2-7 say "experimentation is key" and then immediately being able to fly into a wall got a belly laugh out of me. 

Sacrificing fairies is sad and funny, muscle fairy looking contemplative when aiming a fairy into the abyss is great, and the intro pictures are funny. A lot of thought went into this game and it shows

I am excited to see you have planned!

I fucking love poking toads!

The ending screen seemed weird, it told me I did all but one level, because I guess I hadn't completed that level? Confused me a bit. Also the timer counting my time was moving really fast.

Man, those animations are amazing! I love those details like buff fairies clasping their hands when you beat the level or blue fairies fluttering their wings. It's really coming together in terms of visual style.

Can't really say much else about it, though.

It's really polished and there's nothing to complain about. Animations are soulful. The tutorial is pretty much perfect at teaching mechanics. It makes me wish for a steeper difficulty curve, but better not fix what's not broken.

Amazing concert, art, and music. I don't really have any feedback outside having more resolution options for people to choose.

Genius concept. Puzzle mechanics are simple and easy to learn, and they're utilized well within the level design. I've only just cleared world 1 and so far my only real gripe is the repetitive music, but then again it's probably a good thing for a puzzle game's soundtrack not to be too distracting. Also the pixel art is top notch and I love the yoshi-esque noises the frogs make

-The collision box for the toads is too big. You should be able to walk past the toad on level 4.

-It should switch fairies when you release X instead of having to press it twice. Same applies for throwing.

-When switching fairies, it should show status icons for all fairies in the level so you can easily keep track of them.

-Launch pads need to be faster.

-Pressing Z near a strong fairy with a normal fairy should make the strong fairy pick up the normal fairy, and then automatically switch to the strong fairy.

-You should be able to put down fairies without throwing them.

-Add the ability to manually control the camera for the bigger levels.

really fun game. love the art and gameplay

It's actually insane how much the art overhaul has improved this. This is great and I would pay to play the full game. The level where you kill all the red fairies for no reason after using them actually made me laugh out loud. 

I think the one thing that I could suggest is giving the player a separate quick switch button to use whenever they want instead of telling them to  go into the options menu for a fixed toggle 2 worlds into the game. 

Also maybe give the blue fairies some lore reason to be more important and pokier/cheekier than the red ones. Maybe a crown?

Really nice game, just needs MORE! I only have some very minor things other than that to say:

• I really missed some nice short fanfare for completing the level after hoisting the flag.
• Custom cursor!
• Pressing enter doesn't do anything on the map screen, while it works everywhere else.
• A limit FPS option, always nice to be able to do it ingame.
• A text telling you to press a button to continue after loading a level, it just looks a bit odd as it is right now. Like its still loading.
• Also the world-level text at the loading screen sometimes flickers, like its erasing the text and then writing it again.
• Timer in the end screen seems broken.
• Re-bindable keys.
