Good game! The artwork is incredible. Very cohesive and professional. I wish I could commission the artist for my own 2D game.
My biggest problems were really my own skills, I'm not good at platformers in general. I'm also assuming it plays much better on a gamepad, KB+M is always a struggle for games like this.
My only nitpicks besides the controls would be that it wasn't always easy to tell what I could walk on and what I couldn't.
it took me a LONG time to figure out how to do this jump. eventually i had to look up footage on youtube and i learned that there's a drill attack and a ground pound move, but there was really no in game tutorial mentioning them. C is an awful default keybind for shooting. when games are controlled with arrow keys, the default shoot button is usually Z or X while i was fiddling with the pause menu i pressed I and i found myself fighting against a boss? i don't think this was intended for the players, not this way at least the art is genuinely amazing, some of the best i have ever seen, but the first level of a game should introduce the mechanics to the players step by step, while this one was actually pretty punishing, with multiple enemies and even a chain of ground pound jumps over a chasm which isn't exactly beginner friendly

Keep it up!
thanks for playing and appreciate the vid feedback!
Gamepad is recommended, but you can also rebind keys in main menu settings

My fault, I completely forgot to enable the tutorial prompts.
You can skip to boss by pressing U in pause menu
