This was really great (as expected after seeing the progress you posted in the Discord). I liked the mechanic where you can choose to fight the bosses or help them with a thing to get past them. Though the dialogue options weren't entirely clear which would lead to which. I suspect that might have been a deliberate choice, but it left us a bit disappointed when we saw we could give cherries to the ant queen but then had to end up fighting her because we chose the wrong option.
Overall a very good entry, so I'll just note some other bits that I would have liked to see:
- In the outside bits, the contrast between the enemies/player and the backdrop wasn't enough, so that it became a bit hard to quickly pick them out.
- Some things that looked like you could jump on them turned out not to be jumpable. Some clearer indication of what's background and what isn't might have been helpful?
- Some of the hazards / ability "locks" sometimes blended in a bit too well with the background; I would have liked them to stand out a bit more.
Fantastic job!
