The movement and actions feel really smooth, and the game is genuinely fun to play. I also really liked the visuals and the music.

If I had one suggestion, it would be to add a few more visual hints in the environment. Since the level is quite maze-like, after a while it can be hard to tell where you are or whether you've already been somewhere, and I found myself going in circles a few times.

Other than that, really nice work!

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.

I definitely agree on that point, there were several design issues that we realised a little bit too late, which makes the game hard to navigate. Unfortunately Sloth was left with just 2 days at the end to rush the assets and the background visuals, so we didn't had the time to properly design the levels for clarity.

Cool platformer! I appreciated the level of difficulty of the platforming sections and the ramp up to that difficulty. There are some really good feeling 'pace change' moments in there as well!
