  you can avoid backtracking by just jumping into a hole

I really liked this. The tricky, restrictive controls both give the game a distinct feel and express tons about the character’s lifestyle and abilities. The whole thing has a sense of weight and physical immediacy we don’t usually associate with platformers of this sort.

Punishment for falling does get pretty harsh (was it really necessary to get pulled back so far?), but the premise and overall look and feel of the thing were compelling enough for me to finish it.
