I was just thinking I needed to make a map for this.
Then I fell thru a crack into a water room, respawning in a wet corner.
There is no exit so infinite deaths.

Sounds like this one might be about being transgender.

I made myself a map, but only found one new room.
I got stuck in the same wet corner as last time but from a different room?
Well now I don't know if no save is a good thing or not.
It lets me restart, but honestly I am not going to again.

this is a waste of time!! Why even post?

You can only jump N-E-S-W but all of the jumping is at an angle (NE, SW, etc.). Am I missing something. Nice looking but awkward.

I found three decorative items (hat, flag, ghost), three heads (flower, chicken, robot) and three bodies (jump, push, skeleton). Very nice touch with the music for each individual part and different combos of heads/bodies. A map would be useful, not sure if I missed a secret room or item.

The controls on this game are horrific. Looks good, but it was a beast trying to control the critter.

Is there a way to change the view ?
Otherwise with no save or map I quit!

It's so tiny.

An interesting game, but the controls are just too floaty for me, it's a little too frustrating to try to play through

The edges need to be tighter too.
Does not jump at the edge a lot.
Fell through a crack beside a platform a few times.
Also the doorways are the worst because is sets your respawn.
I was able to glide to safety a few times after a bad respawn.
But when you fall through a crack into a new room your done!

Yeah I'm with the rest. Seems like it might be fun but the controls are insane. The constant need to move diagonally when your controls are not, combined with the sloppy slidey motion of yourself, and precision jumps, and places to get permanently stuck...no thanks.

Wow! You figured that out! All by yourself! Good job, sweetie!

Why do I keep trying this?
Keyboards don't like 3 key combos.
I keep finding new ways to get soft blocked.

I thought it was really well done. Great isometric metroidvania with some great puzzles.

You should likely just move on if it is frustrating you that much. Personally, I had no issues with the wasd controls. There were some great puzzles in the game. I don't think it is possible to get soft locked, likely not thinking about all the options.

FYI. The arrow keys don't work when jumping diagonally. The WASD keys do. But I've never used the WASD keys in my life. It's like starting gaming all over again.
