I really enjoyed your game. Overall the aesthetic of the game was brilliant and the theme colours were implemented well, some of the elements like the purple blocks or the spiky vines in the game could have used a bit more differentiation from the background but once you learn them it’s fine. I loved the touch of night time switch and the change up in sfx. Great mechanics and very fun to play, although wall sliding could be a little quicker, speed up over time or increase speed on pressing down to make it feel snappier on longer walls. You really nailed the progression in puzzle difficulty, the moving platform took a bit to master. I did get a little lost after the big windmill but got back on track pretty quickly. Only took one false climb of the tower. That wind surfing puzzle after that tho… wow. Super tricky but maybe it’s easier on a controller and the respawn on the sequence after you get the almost at the top message is brutal. I’m yet to get past that point but will come back to it for sure. All in all this was a fantastic game and while it didn’t hit the cozy or one room side of the jam it held my attention for ages, striking a great balance between challenging and rewarding.

This might be my favorite game in terms of graphics and development! I absolutely loved that little purple guy as well as his magical scarf as he double jumped. The animations are so inspired and it was so pleasant to find my way up on that upbeat but relaxing backtrack. Even the nighttime felt so relaxing and it didn't change the gameplay that much. Also the death screen was killing me every time haha
