Yes, I should remove the jump. I thought it was funny since it is basically useless/redundant. I think I will make the game grid based in the next round or snapping the shapes also sounds like a good idea.
Amazing that you think this should be a metroidvania! That was my exact idea. I think you can do so much cool stuff with this idea, a lot of cool backtracking should be possible based on new shapes you unlock.
> I also kind of wish there was the ability to move my face without moving the shape (or needing a wall), especially since the WASD keys weren't used at all
This is very much intentional, this limits the player and makes the game more difficult. I don't think I will add this 🙈.
