Wowww, super impressive game!! The size and scope of this is remarkable. Very well done for the amount of content here. The level layouts, metroidvania powerup system and unlocking new areas with abilities were excellent
I got 36% of the way through, but started to get REALLY lost after reaching the first teleporter. Even after I discovered the map.png in the attachments section, my sense of direction was really struggling to keep track of where I was. An in-game minimap might have been my savior. Either that, or some visual landmarks in the map (such as platforms or lava pits) to get my bearings. Glancing back and forth from game to 2nd monitor map... I already forgot where I was lol. (My sense of direction in real life is nearly as bad)
Up until that point, the path forward was super clear and easy to follow. I really liked the backtracking and unlocking access to areas with the crawl ability! The sprite animation for that was really cute.
Phenomenal work, I hope to be able to finish playing some day but I definitely need a GameFAQ's walkthrough to figure out where to go next
