Thanks for playing and for the kind remarks! We worked hard to come up with a more peaceful twist on a metroidvania. I'm glad to hear it came through!
I'm impressed you found a soft lock. As probably all of us do, I'd thought I'd sniffed them all out, haha. Do you recall what the background color of the area was for where you fell out of the screen?
As far as what's left—if you'd gotten through the dash puzzle, you were in the last quarter of the game. I can guarantee you a cute ending if you ever decide to give it a shot again ; )
