i completely forgot to make an initial devlog, so here it is:
...what do i say now?
well, i guess i can mention that i started making the game at 28th of november and uploaded a prototype video to my youtube channel on the same day:

and, to this day, i have:

• an almost perfected main gimmick
• made half of the "sub-gimmicks"
• made almost the entire ost (while reusing 2 tracks from my own library)
• both the public and dev discord servers
• nearly finished game branding (game logo (?), font (reused), titular character)
• a barely working level editor
• 3 playtesters
  
• an itch.io game page
• been noticed by my favorite puzzle game youtuber
• only 5 levels not counting the introduction lmao

i think this is a lot of stuff done in just 12 days
feel free to ask questions in the comments, and have fun
