This was such a cool and unique experience! I love how simple the gameplay is, but it's still really compelling to play. And the player turning into a dead tree/checkpoint when they fail is genius, I also liked how you can talk to them and they encourage you. The only thing I didn't really like was the stamina meter because I always forgot about it and it would run out at the worst possible time. Overall I loved this game, and I think it ties in with the jam's topic really well!
