Also, there is a micro-bug when left box near border sound FX of hitting wall will be looped.
My one critique is the on-screen control icons seemed to be for a controller, so they weren't too helpful to me since I used a keyboard. I had to keep checking the game description for my controls, which took me out of the experience a bit. Not sure if it would be simple to check the player's input device and show a different UI accordingly, but that's one idea to make it even more seamless.
Awesome job with this game and thanks for sharing it!
- Charming little postman slime!
- Music and SFX in compo is always a +
- I like the simple graphics you went there for
- Animations are also a big plus
- As other folks mentioned, climbing should happen automatically. Not sure which engine you used so can't help out with that immediately
- I actually liked the last puzzle, clever design!
- Liked the chilled atmosphere
A good entry! Great Job!

I really liked the vibe of this one. Super simple but really well executed in that regard. The music, graphics and gameplay worked well together, and I could see this game having a lot longer runtime with the addition of mechanics and level elements down the line. So it was a little bit sad that it was so short!
Nonetheless, I think you should be proud of this entry, and keep working toward your repertoire of simple, tight platforming for next time :)
Thanks for the game!
Excited to see your next entry
