Game Backstory:
The game takes place within a symbolic representation of a child's inner world.
The world reflects a state of emotional instability.
As balance is lost, the environment becomes fragmented, distorted, and increasingly unstable.
The surroundings serve as a projection of the child’s internal struggles rather than a literal location.
The player’s journey represents an internal effort to regain emotional control and restore balance.

General:
* Collision with platforms make you hover in the air.
* After I jump once in fly mode, I don't need to ever jump again if I jump from platforms and just instantly go into fly mode.
* Animations are off center and slightly delayed.
* You can just re-initiate the flight mid air without grounding first.
* The health bar and the stamina bar are out of the screen.
Level 1:
* It is very hard to notice the tutorial, I have not noticed it by myself.
* On widescreen monitor it's very easy to fall out the map or skip the entire level.
* The ESC pause menu does not work at all on this level.
Level 2:
* The background is very low quality and does not fit wide screen (stretches weird).
* When you break the square you are unable to fly afterwards.
* It is very unclear why the order that you activate the stones matter.
Level 3:
* The moving platform blocks you from flying or jumping.
* The enemy is annoyingly unkillable, nor does it make sense that the enemy pushes you when the only way to damage it is to attack it with rage mode.
