This was a great play on the theme. I knew there were going to be a few games that took this route for "Recovery", and this was exactly what I was hoping to find. This was a great story driven side scrolling platformer. Great job!
I did find the platforming to be a bit tricky at times, but it was honestly worth dying since the death and re-spawn animation was so pretty and well done! The only bit of feedback I think this game could benefit from is adding more sound effects and changing up the background music a bit more. Other than that, I had a great time playing this game and experiencing the story you created. Awesome game!
