An excellent game. Truly one of the most polished 2D platformers I've seen outside of industry products.

Simple but fluid controls. Level design hits a sweet spot of requiring good control, without being exhausting. Atmosphere really well set by the music and visuals. Cutscenes are incredibly clean. No artistic style conflicts at all. It's what I'd expect from the early 2000s professional games industry. 

You've got something to really be proud of here!

Thank you!

That was lovely! The challenges were difficult, but not overly so, and the music and atmosphere were both very nice. I noticed the screen would occasionally shake a bit after a transition, but I almost feel like that just added to the ambiance of being in a cave. I got 13 on my first run. Time to see if I can grab those last two!

Edit: I just got them! I have to admit I'm pretty bad at the trick from the end, but I think I'll get it with a bit of practice.

Great job! Yeah the trick is really hard, but we kept it in because we thought it was fun.
