I actually think this game hits a really good difficulty balance for the most part.
The second stage is definitely way harder, but very few times it felt unfair. Definitely a little bit finnicky with the platforms, but that would be my only gripe in terms of the gameplay. Overall, it feels smooth, and the sound design helps a lot as well!
The standout is the visuals tho! I love the hand-crafted theatre design feel to all of it! The music ramps up really nicely as well throughout the stages. The story is a little mysterious but intriguing all the same. It's very stylish and unique, which I enjoyed!
For a game made by one person, this was a banger! Great work
