Interesting game. The idea of sacrificing abilities and re-exploring the level is really neat, if only the levels were clearer in terms of direction. A lot of the time I was just wandering around trying to find the way to progress, and I feel like some parts were pretty difficult to clear. With the way the game is presented, it felt like I was playing one of these unfair NES games that YouTubers like AVGN or his French counterpart JDG would play, for better or for worse!
I gotta say it does feel like there's been quite a lot of work put into your game: there is plenty of content, the game is relatively long compared to other jam entries, the music is nice, so mad respect for that!
NB: Was the game supposed to close (or crash) at the end of level 2?
