Thanks for playing and for the kind words!
I agree, the jump animation would help with immersion and just look nicer. We do have one, I just had trouble with the logic for displaying it and never got time to revisit it
Also agree map wouldve been helpful - sadly had to be cut as well.
This was my first metroidvania and 2nd-ever platformer, so a lot of lessons learned for next time. Thanks again for playing!
