A really fun time! I loved the variety of character designs, the different styles and seasonal changes, and the overall concept is a blast! I will say that the music came on a little strong, so maybe default it to 50 percent and let the player decide if they want it louder. It might also be good to have other indicators on the track itself on where to go besides the arrow-there are a lot of similar elements in the environment, so it can be hard to navigate with colors/designs everywhere.
It would be nice to have another way to improve your speed too! Like maybe you have to negotiate how much energy you're using if you decide to go fast, which runs the risks of you having to stop. I did appreciate the amount of items though and I never had to worry about running out! The little secrets were fun too and it would be nice to have hints somewhere to indicate how you can experience them. Great job ^^
