Great game! It was fun to explore the island while doing quests and collecting things. The puzzles were fun and simple. The game has a clear goal, which I like. However, I wish a mini-map existed and some more music. Each character felt unique and they were fun and interesting. I like that the player made a spin on the double jump. Good job!

Much appreciated! I'm glad you liked the quests and puzzles. We didn't want to add a minimap so the feeling of exploring would be enhanced. Instead of minimap we added clear landmarks and made sure the important items were easily visible. I think Super Mario Odyssey has similar level structure and doesn't have a minimap. Just out of curiocity, what part of the game made you wish for a minimap? We also intended to have more music, but unfortunately didn't have time to make more. Thank you for playing.
I just felt like having a minimap would make it easier to navigate, especially if the map only shows the parts that you have already explored (but I think that it was easy to navigate because of the reasons you mentioned). This way, you would know where you have been, making it clearer where to search for e.g. fuel. You can also easily see which parts you have not been to. At the same time, it would be preferable if the minimap only showed terrain and your current position. (I also like to have an overview of the world I explore). Though, I would like to add that I think a minimap is not necessary, but more of a suggestion. I do agree on the part that a minimap could damage the feeling of exploration, and it can easily be used in the incorrect way. Anyway, it was fun playing your game. I hope to see more!
