Lovely concept and cool graphics. The only thing that's not perfect (I think) is the game physics. The character falls too quickly after jumping, which is not too good for a platformer, because often even small jumps are difficult to complete. But apart from that, the game looks great. I'm looking forward to the final version. Good luck!

thank you for checking it out! I might make a small adjustment, but I’ve already gone back and forth about it before and a larger jump started to make things a little too easy. Will give it some thought!

There is a high chance we want to cover the game, but we usually wait until the game is effectively out in the wild.

👍 the Kickstarter begins in a few weeks, and then the digital versions will be out there to the backers once the KS runs its course. Physicals should be all shipped out by October
