I love the ambience you built! The intro sequence was really good (maybe even a first among minetest games?), the helpers are super cute (even though it's a parkour game I wish there were more optional interactions!), and the maps play well.
Good choice of soundtrack too.
In general the game looks very polished for a game jam entry, congrats!
The controls surprised me at times (long slide, unexpected momentum when jumping off, abilities not working at the edge of blocks), but I quickly got used to them.
Maybe I’m supposed to play in third person? That would explain the slide distance.
Yeah, having a real intro and ending sequence was very important to me to make sure the game feels "complete". Different than many sandbox games that just throw you in with ZERO explanation. The soundtrack was created by Visager, and I chose it on the very last day. I initially planned to do even the music myself, but then I remembered I had near-zero experience lol. Thankfully, using external resources is allowed (and many entries did). But everything else was my own work.
You may or may not play in 3rd person, I personally felt like playing in 3rd person MAY a little bit easier, but once you got used to the physics, playing in 1st person can be just as easy. The choice is up to you.
Maybe it would be better if the game started in 3rd person by default, but that's a missing feature in Minetest. :(
