Thank you soooooo much for this comment, it made me really happy! I beginned game dev this year and found a new passion in life, in a time that, for me, has been plagued by doubt. Seeing such positive feedback motivates me a lot :)
As I was writting the story, I felt the need to put something more personal amidst all that chaos, and I'm glad it kept you motivated to finish the game. I had a plan to combine the top-down and platforming in the final level with gravity swapping as you play with Elliot's dad. I actually programmed it and it exists in the game, but I wasn't able to finish the last level due to time constraints. I will surely go back to this project as soon as I get more time!
