This was a really well polished game, I enjoyed the speed quite a bit! Like the others, I did notice that most of the levels would be passed quite quickly if I held down d and shift. However, the boss fights were a great addition and made it feel like a fun speed run to the boss room.

Thank you! 😄 I'm glad you enjoyed the speed and the boss fights! The easier main route is somewhat intentional — simply reaching the end is meant to be accessible, while getting all three stars, collecting the coins and reaching the upper routes requires much more control over the momentum. That said, you're definitely not the first person to mention the “hold D + Shift” strategy, so it's useful feedback and something I'll keep in mind when designing levels. I really like your description of it as a speed run to the boss room though! Thanks for playing! :)
