Very cool take on the theme, and incredible first game!
I should mention I got stuck once I got the third upgrade (the arrow pointing up). I tried using the up arrow, w key, and page up, but it didn't seem to do anything. What is it supposed to do, and which key should I use?
Also, the checkpoints are really nice, but I'd recommend having them stand out in some way for future projects (for example, a green floor).
Thank you for your message, the unlocked key is Shift (for a dash to pass the grids). the checkpoints will have an appearance in a future version of the game (which we improve after the game jam), I personally thought of a cool mechanic idea and an animation related to the fact that the character looks like a will-o'-the-wisp and allowing to have a respawn which does not "break the 4th wall" but I still have to discuss it with my teammate.
