I’m making this Celeste style game, and this is a demo of sorts - its very short. I’d like tips for making this style game (I’ve never done anything like this before) and ideas of all sorts.

From time to time, i’ll post updates to this game.

Here’s another update, with the jump fix ( @Air ), another short cave section, a checkpoint reskin, and signs that replace the sentences at the start.
