I have spent wonderful time with this demo! My favourite segment is path to bookshelf - beside screaming babies, they were kinda mean :P In all seriousness, such various use of beam's simple mechanic was super fun and exciting.

I gave up on the part with purple key - it became too frustrating for me, but I am also not the best at platformers. :')

Backgrounds are super unique and often stunning - one ot the most satisfying moments was floating between columns in some side room. It's one example of many nice touches that make your game look polished.

I will surely give it another time in the future. Good luck in development!

Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed your time! Thank you for all the kind words!

I'm sorry the babies kept you from finishing the purple key, but I have good news! I'm releasing a game patch/update in about 3 weeks with a bunch of fixes and improvements. One of those changes is taking the difficulty down on that purple key, so, if you wait a few weeks, you can download the 3.2 version and use your same save file to pick right up at the purple key again. I'd love it if you can tell me if that change makes a difference for your experience.

Thank you again for playing and for all the nice things you said. Have a great day!

Thanks for response! I checked to be sure and it seems I made silly mistake with colors 😅 I will leave it in original comment, but to clarify - I gave up on part with blue key not purple. Well, it gives me chance to elaborate.

Blue key is in my opinion hard to access (I'm looking at you, pirate rhino and sloping wall!), so struggling to collect it after every mistake (especially with such long and painful path to door) makes this part feel quite exhausting. I think it could be more bearable if checkpoint saved key, or maybe setting one checkpoint closer to spawn point of this key?
On the other hand real purple key (if I'm not confusing them again 😅) was on the path to bookshelf. Getting it to door was challenging but fun (I have praised beam already)! The key (:P) diffrence in my opinion was very easy return to purple key after small mess up (just falling down in good direction), so I could start another try quickly. It can be just me, but struggling to get key somewhere felt more entertaining, than struggling to collect a key 😅
Sorry for any confusion! I'll be happy to check out future updates (so glad to hear that current save file will be useful) and give more feedback. Best wishes!

Oh ok well if it's the blue key you're talking about, then I have even better news for you 😊 I made a much more drastic change to that key: I moved it to a different place entirely!

Thank you again for all your feedback 🙌
I'm aiming to have the patch out on March 20th
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the changes

Have a great day!
