I'll never recover from seeing Mrs Kitty in chains like that 😭
For this run, I played on my laptop using Safari. I noticed that the game plays much more quickly on this browser than it did when I played on Firefox in a previous run. Still a great metroidvania with incredible art and fun gameplay, but on this run I was wondering how the game would play differently if the map could be accessed more quickly via the unused select button another button combo instead of exclusively through the start menu? It was an essential part of my first run, and on the second one I started I found myself reaching for it less (having played through once already), but I still think it's useful enough of a feature that quicker access would be valuable!
Edit: thanks Kuro for pointing out that select is used for changing abilities later on after getting the first one. Duh!
