All that I can say negatively is that it's not especially creative. There's been a ton of "sacrifice your body to make a platform" games this LD.
Loved it, and I hesitate to ask for any convenience features, since I think that anything that makes it easier might well take away some of the ruthlessness that contrasts so nicely with the aesthetic, but I think a few tweaks might make for a genuinely more enjoyable experience.
First, I'd LOVE a short hop here. Being able to control the height of my jump would make dodging SO much less frustrating, and let me position my buddies more quickly and easily.
Second, I'd like just a bit more friction. A handful of times, I was just beginning to celebrate a seemingly-perfect jump only to slide over and off. Maybe this is just an issue of taste, but I feel like the game has enough challenge going on without the added unexpected deaths due to sliding.
Gorgeous art. Great sound. Would recommend.
