[@KadenzJade6447]

you know, the way this game presents itself reminds me of another platformer game featuring 4 characters! It's called Vibrant Ventures and it's a really colorful pixel platformer by a small indie team that started from a Roblox game into it's own beta in Steam! What reminds me of it is how you can swap between the 4 characters which all have different moves and passive abilities! Not trying to downplay btw! I think both games are wonderful and are incredibly charming and promising 💖💖

Feels like there might be too many cakes - if a difficulty setting is added that changed enemy/cake layout this could definitely be the 'easy' versions of the levels (and if not I guess we just don't die on accident)

[@MeesterTweester]

It's because this is going to be only World 1 of several worlds in the full game, which will have less cakes. We also wanted the game to be beatable for most players, as quitting due to difficulty was one of BFDIA 5b's biggest drawbacks, so lower difficulty was often requested.
