Awesome puzzle design in this game, I had a lot of fun. I think castle 1 dragged a bit for me, but I understand it's necessary to get used to the mechanics. Maybe one of level 3 or 4 could be cut, they felt a bit repetitive. The ramp up of difficulty on castle 2 is perfect to me! I felt in the flow solving the puzzles.
Highlight levels for me:
- Castle 2:6 is incredibly satisfying.
- Castle 2:7 is also great, honestly probably because of the swooping finish. If you redesign the main character you should consider adding a swooping animation if they're about to fly onto the count.
I like the 2x speed button's design, but when it's active it's a little tooo distracting lol.
Oh also, the game didn't seem to work on firefox for me (the gameboy renders but the screen is blue). It worked fine on chrome.

Thank you so much for your feedback I really really appreciate it this is the kind of feedback I was hoping to get!
Totally castle 1 is a bit slow in my opinion too, it's kinda the tutorial castle now but if it drags I could see people dropping before they get to the good levels. I was hoping that the 2x speed option would also make castle 1 a bit more challenging, faster, and more fun.
But feedback like this was what led to the improvements in castle 2 so I'm really glad that the difficulty felt much better! That flow feeling is what I'm always after creating for players.
I love your idea for a swooping finish that's an awesome idea I will totally do that if/when I make an original main character.
I had a bit tooo much fun with that 2x button haha lolz I'll consider chilling that out a bit.
Thank you for the heads up on firefox! I always forget to check other browsers than chrome. I'll check into that!
Again really appreciate the detailed feedback <3 Thanks a ton!
