Advance notice: at time of writing, I haven't beat this game. I got stuck on the blue paint, checkpoint 3, for reasons I'll detail later.

Things I liked:

- The atmosphere is very nice. It has a vast emptiness to it, with the massive box and soft music. The level design definitely contributed to this; I liked being able the see the sprawling platforms stretching into the distance.

- I like the ink aesthetic. The character's texture, the background texture, the white and black boxes...it all had a very distinct style, which I very much like.

- Some of the jank--namely with the bounce--was pretty satisfying. I liked being able to cheese the level a bit :).

Things I didn't like:

- While I like the bounce's jank, said jank means that the bounce doesn't work half the time on slopes, and I'm not a fan of that. I don't want to spend attempt after attempt on checkpoint 3 if I'm not even sure the slope is going to bounce me properly.

- There are three hearts in the corner that, as far as I can tell, don't represent anything--I mean, you die, and there's still three hearts, so...what are they there for?

Regardless, good job!
