I laughed at your comment about it still feeling cozy, because I definitely got into a very cozy groove exploring the beach with the relaxing music in the background - but taking your space = cold and out of gas mindset back to it, it felt less cozy. 

Loved the intro animation, and the character control felt nice! I did get stuck between two rocks and couldn't move at one point while jumping around. Very cool level!

If you were to continue with the project, I think a mini map would have been super useful for me, I tend to get lost really easily haha. 

Great work!

Thank you for playing the game. Ha....yes, a bit of a cop out with the whole anti cozy theme...guilty as charged. Glad that you enjoyed the level. I usually put in respawns for getting stuck etc, but didn't get that far. I will develop a little further, but will probably take it  in different direction. I have thought about adding mini maps etc, but I really like players to get lost. This could well annoy players though. Thank you again for playing.

I liked the character control.  It was smooth.  The environment was good and I liked the way the water was used to control the path.  Good job.

Thank you very much. Thanks for playing, glad that you enjoyed the environment. It's pretty basic, but I will develop further and use it in another game I think.
