At first I did not know what to do since I thought I had to look for footprints left by Dad, and I couldn't ever get far from the house, and I quit after a little while to try the other Jam games. By then I thought the project wasn't fully finished.
The second time I started the game, I figured out that the resetting was due to me stepping into "holes", and from that I figured I could try jumping over them. That's when I realized what the mechanics of the game were, and the fun began~
How your footprints still stays even after dying can really make backtracking easy, and I love how they slowly disappear as you die.
I haven't finished it due to always being stuck on the second phase of the submerged barrels though. Good game guys!
