This game got me into speedrunning (though to an entire different game hehe).
The simplicity of just having 3 buttons: jumping, dashing, and holding working in tandem with the level design that fully takes advantages of said mechanics is truly outstanding.
The non-invasive story to explore hits so hard by fluctuating between really cute and very relatable.
The music takes your hand as you climb the mountain and makes you wanna try even harder every time you fall.
The art is so minimalistic but perfect for guiding you through the levels so seemingly and naturally.
I absolutely LOVE the feeling of overcoming physical and mental obstacles through your journey, every time you take a step further than the last one is so fulfilling, you can sense your progress, becoming a better player while Madeline becomes a better person and accepts herself for what she truly is.
I guess you can say this game is PEAK HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE...hehehe...he........he
