Thank you so much for playing the game and for leaving the review!
If the game would've been any longer, I think we definitely would've gone with a 3 heart respawn. Maybe we should've placed more fishes which would've balanced the one heart respawn a little. Next time I'll definitely make sure to playtest more and make the game feel more balanced!
I already mentioned it in another comment, but I had a very hard time making the movement/jump feel right. I think the jump feels a little too floaty, but for the life of me I just couldn't fix it haha.
I really love your feedback about the death screen, I didn't notice it was showing up too fast but now that you mentioned it I can totally see that. I think a little "death sound" and even a "death sprite" before the end screen pops up would've been pretty nice, I'll totally keep it in mind for future games, thanks a lot!!
