Thank you for the genuine feedback. I’ve received quite a few complaints about the jump physics and the world save points, especially how players have to redo all the "calm world" sections repeatedly.
The idea was actually intentional. I thought it would be cool not to include save points, so players would need to go through the calm parts again before entering the portal, and then, with the timer, they’d rush into "storm mode." This was meant to reflect the "calm before the storm" concept.
However, I feel I may have failed with the difficulty. I set it subjectively based on my own experience, thinking it would be challenging with those jumps and save points. But I realize now that instead of being challenging, it just made the game frustrating for players.
I'll definitely make these small changes after getting permission from the Discord mods.
Good luck with your game, and thank you for your valuable time!
