Hello, wanted to mention my daughter and myself are playing this game. It's quite interesting but seems a bit confusing sometimes. I love the gameplay the colors and the way to level up, I think.
Bug fixes: One thing I did see is when we tried to figure out air dash it wasn't listed in the controls screen. This needs a fix. If you can the main menu having back buttons on every screen would be helpful also instead of clicking another main menu button to open another screen.
Player experience: As for this, we had fun and plan on continuing our play of the game. As we make progress, we will post some videos if you wish and will give any feedback, we see that needs a fix.
If you'd like to reach out sometime add me on discord at username dx3crosscrows56.
Just finished a little bit of the game myself, and I like it!
Just finished a playthrough as of this moment, come check it out!
Has a fair share of challenges to offer and teases the brain in coordination and problem solving at times.
