I'm inclined to mention that Early Access prevents you from using Steam Next Fest so you'd best look around and see if they let pre-EA games apply for the Fest.

I like the addition of the sign posters in the game's rooms.
The WASD code mentioned in the other Itch page works. However, after racking up the death count to 125, I can say that I haven't seen these mood expression changes. Once that's looked at, I think you could also activate this feature one the timer says 5 seconds left in hard mode.
Interesting subversion on the usual plot. Although there is some bit of jank such as checkpoints not having a sound and the picture below which clashes with going into 1 block gaps.
I would add in a dive move (down + jump in the air) since the base game already has the squash and stretch frames for that.
