Nice work! I like the pixel art, especially the blob and the potions. The gameplay was fun and very intense. Having abilities like double-jump run out over time, and having to manage your inventory/pickups while escaping the lava added a fun sense of pressure.

- game is fun and looks, and feels great. did not hit the themes for me, but I enjoy the artstyle. I missed a short tutorial to see what the different potions did to get a grasp on that.

Extra Notes
It is very much a prototype game with so much planned for it. Please see the end of the GDD for developmental plans and updates. Much love. I've learned so much from this experience.
