The style of this reminds me of a Nitrome game with a yeti I liked when I was a kid. Overall this is a really solid platformer and I'm excited to see it expanded upon.

A bit too unresponsive for me as the up arrow wouldn't get registered and lead to many restarts. Sliding feels a bit too slippery. I beat this game on Mac and came over to Windows 10, where none of my stuff saved.

STANNco responds:

i don't know if there's any way to save across different browsers, maybe if you use the same browser i am not sure. It is odd that the up arrow wasn't response. But all aside fair criticism : )

2021, a soo good year

This is a fantastic platforming game! I love how expressive and smooth the sprites are as well as the fun interactions with other Newgrounds characters. Kudos!
