This was very cute :) the sprites are lovely, with the knife in the tongue being a wonderful touch. I liked the tileset too
Gameplay was tricky, but made for a fun challenge and never got frustrating. I did find I often had to wait a long time for ponds to refill my hydration though, it would have been nice to instantly return to full to save idle time.
The levels were good fun, with a nicely paced difficulty curve and a good feeling of dread when I realised how far I might fall in the vertical sections
