Having finished the game I was forcing myself to do so in the end to "get my moneys worth" out of the game. The control feel unpolished, the hitboxes are wonky, and I ran into multiple bugs with clipping, or having flat out invisible walls preventing me from progressing through a stage, I really question who did testing on this, because it just feel like it could have been so much better of a game with a little bit more effort put into polishing it off.
I will say that I loved the music and how the game looked. It's a very pretty game, which saddens me more in the end with how it feels to play.

I wanted to love this game, it's a fairly chill platformer (at least in the few levels that I played)
But there wasn't really much variety in the moveset to keep me coming back so I ultimately decided to drop it.
Still recommend it if you are looking for a simple little platformer.
