Gratz and a big woohoo to you! Thanks for your kind words, it really means a lot to me to hear this kind of feedback. I'm still relatively new to gamedev and studying and working and growing my tools and skills every day. I think I got a little obsessive with the character controller and it really did detract from my ability to fully implement the originally much more complex and polished vision I had for this game. I may change his spoon to a lute in the full version I'm working on using this as a prototype, I am not sure why I went with an oversized spoon that looks like the twisted offspring of a frying pan and one of those big old pizza paddles, probably because I thought I could make one fairly simply in Aseprite. But my skills are nowhere near on par with Anismuz's, the creator of the other sprite assets I used. Thanks again for taking the time to reach out, and have a great one!
