I had the pleasure to test this game while it was still in development and I have to say I'm really impressed with how it turned out in the end! I like how you made the spikes less punishing in this version, it was a really good decision.
Lovely story panels. The platforming is smooth. The art looks really good, and not only that, but it has a really unique that I don't think I've seen before. I really like the friendly orange bird that I came across.
I love the sprawling metroidvania map design, with the various upgrades. You definitely didn't hold back on scope, and I really respect that.
Amazing work, Half-Smore. You basically made an entire commercial game for your jam submission haha.
