Another great entry. I replayed this one for 2023. Hoping for something new in 2024 :)

Nice! The gameplay feels just right, and the graphics are nice and clean. Love the world map. I thought that the Coal Stocking power-up was thematically perfect, too! Everything is so incredibly polished, it's just a shame the demo is so short!
If I had some suggestions for multiplayer:
- It would be more fun if you could bump into each other or jump on each others' heads, like in New Super Mario Bros Wii. My wife and I are both good at platforming games, so we like to compete and try to mess with each other :P
- I hope there is a way to respawn if one player dies early on in the level!
Looking forward to the full game!
I liked it! Exploring to find the key was fun, and the levels were nicely laid out. I think it could use more checkpoints at the treadmill and swinging platform part, though! Also, I figured out you could sprint a little too late, lol. Nice music, simple controls, and some nice clean graphics. Good!
Excellent! You nailed the UI for Picross--very responsive controls (which are surprisingly important when solving these puzzles quickly!). This has become my most-played Playdate game.
The only thing that's missing for me are some nice minimalist sound effects when navigating, filling, and marking. Also, I can't wait for the Playdate SDK to get network functionality so we can upload our puzzles :)
Great work. It was a steal at $2!
