COMPLETE: Return.

I spent exactly ten minutes on this, but they were ten very cute, charming, well-spent minutes.
Return. is an indie pixel platformer with graphics that kind of look like a Super Game Boy with a vaporwave palette filmed on VHS, complete with scanlines and the red/blue layers intentionally not quite lining up.
... Red and blue... hold on. *Digs out old 3D glasses* ... Okay no but that would have been amazing.
Anyway. Return. is a short auto-scrolling romp. You can quadruple jump but each jump is, uh, not very high, so you're mostly fluttering. Avoid spikes, the cats are checkpoints, try to keep up with the scrolling, and enjoy an adorable game about an adorable angel-goat thing and her quest to reach the end of the level.
Return. is donationware, in that it's completely free, or you have the option of buying the exact same experience for 99 cents. There are no differences or "premium version" shenanigans; the purchased version is just to 1) give the devs a tip and a "thank you" and show your support, and 2) pin the game to your Steam library (free games disappear when you uninstall them.) I'll probably end up picking it up at some point.
Anyway, this was neat and I enjoyed it.
