Nice platformer with some very charming graphics! Parallax effect was a bit strong imo and the platforming was a little unforgiving (I saw another user mention coyote time and I'd parrot that suggestion). Overall well done!

Game Description
The Way Back Home is a short, 2D platformer with light puzzle elements. Inspired mainly by Celeste on the Pico-8 (in art, and difficulty on hardmode)
How does your game tie into the theme?
For me, cozy is family, sitting by a fire, drinking tea, Christmas trees, etc. I wanted to get the feeling of family sitting by a fire, telling stories in this game, forcing you to rest by a fire to get warm. It is a rather shallow incorporation of the theme to be honest, but at least it's something.
