Oh wow, The Bee's Knees, thank you so much for your comment.
Coyote time is something other people pointed out and it is now well noted in my brain. I should definitely look into that more. Making a platformer is not difficult, making a good one, though... An entirely different story. Haha
I'm glad the theme and message seem to have resonated with you well. Really appreciate you giving my game a try. Good luck!
