I liked it! The message was good - I think the music really added to the second half of the game, and the platformer felt tight and responsive. I liked the jump orbs, and how you used them to repurpose that one level.
I do think the writing feels a little unnatural- some of the sentences don't sound like things that a normal person would say aloud. And the game is all about connection, so the dialogue is important.
I think the colored pencil aesthetic is super cool. I wish the platformer design leaned more into the pencil style. I like how the characters are minimalist.
From one artist to another, I would highly recommend the artist to really embrace using reference images when drawing. No good artist creates without a reference - every artist does it. The shading is good, the lineart is good, but the anatomy is just a little off.
I really liked it!
