It was a little unclear at first which blocks were background and which were on the character's plane. Try adding a little parallax to them and making sure the Garfields are in front of the purple ones to make it super clear. Jeff's penguin slide when you hit down while running is fuckin great

Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment and feedback!!
Haha, yeah, we had a massive wishlist of things we wanted to implement, including more detailed backgrounds and parallax, but the whole project was a little rushed, to say the least! I think some of the Garfields going behind pillars was an issue with the sorting layers.
Hilariously, Jeff's infinite penguin slide started as a bug we decided to leave in (originally, you sort of parked in a spot when ducking, closer to Contra), but I'm glad that worked out!
