The atmosphere is cool :) i like when games use non-standard gamey-sounds, but something more natural, like here f.e. :)

puzzles are nice too. i guess inspired by moon-leap. i would find it a bit better if you would always see the spikes that currently are not active as well, but it's fine :)

hii, i really wanted to play this, but the game goes to a black screen after it loads you into the first level/tutorial? im one chrome. 

hi seems like its working on both chrome and operagx... try reloading or providing a screenshot of the problem :)

it's just a black screen, not much to screenshot haha. i can see the first level for about 5 seconds. if it works for other people i guess its an issue on my end. unfortunate :(.  art style looks rad!

I enjoyed some of the more puzzle-y aspects and the style is moody yet cute, but the controls just aren't good enough for the precision platforming in the later levels, especially when the level design punishes you with instant death for being half a pixel off.

Also disabling player controls as soon as you touch the last bell when there's almost always spikes under them feels unfair.
