Hi! This is the first game I've made. It's a short, difficult, and very forgiving platformer in which I tried to use gliding in as many interesting ways as I could. Hope you enjoy! (Note: This game was intended to be played with checkpoints turned on. I am not responsible if you turn them off for your first playthrough and suffer.)

real hard. methinks the player hitbox coulda been a little smaller. but also maybe im just bad at video games. really liked this, i had been thinking alot about the windwaker leaf over head glide and how that could be in a platformer, then bam, this comes out the next day. love it, keep it up

This is a great game with an interesting mechanic and well-designed challenges. It was the first game I played after accidentally typing an "s" in my Pico-8 console last week, thereby launching Splore. I just played it through for the second time. You did a great job on this. I am really impressed if this is the first game you ever made. You nailed both design and execution. I hope you make more games for us to enjoy.

Thanks for the amazing game! Really enjoyed the various puzzles you put together, very well made!
My only criticism is the length, would love to suffer longer on a few more stages! Looking forward for your future stuff!
Recently we played it on stream, if you are interested in my live reactions, but be warned there is a lot of F bombs in there at some checkpoints.
