Silly Australian person... What good does one stilt do?

GOG Galaxy doesn't seem to know what it is (though oddly it does know that a game named Stilt Fella exists, it just doesn't think I own it.)

Hmm, how does Galaxy learn about games, does it just scan player's libraries? If so, perhaps it's got my old, free, version of Stilt Fella registered in there somehow?

GOG Galaxy 2 takes its info from (
https://www.igdb.com/)
They're in the middle of some database move so they've disabled signups, but ask nicely in their discord and someone will generally help.

It now shows up as Stilta Fella.
No art, but at least it has the right name now.
I did a bit of testing, the game feels a bit like trying to rub your stomach and pat your head while standing on stilts.
I can't say if that's because I'm playing it with the not-recommended keyboard-and-mouse setup, or if it's just supposed to be like that - having to mentally battle against all the hard-learned muscle memory of standard game control schemes.
In other words - it's hard, but isn't that the whole point?
I got as far as the construction site level without encountering anything too serious. Only real bug was that I got launched into space a few times, especially on the farmyard level, but other than that it was pretty solid.
I did come across what I thought were a couple of bugs, but then realised that it was just my mouse driver/profile going a bit crazy and deciding to treat all click-and-hold mouse buttons as repeatedly-click mouse buttons. Amazingly, the game was actually playable like that!
Is it okay to post videos of the gameplay publicly?

I'd prefer if you didn't post em publicly just yet. If you wanna upload an unlisted video and send me the link that'd be great tho.
Well done on getting as far as the construction site! Yeah, it's supposed to be hard, but also I feel the M+KB controls do need more tweaking.
The fella getting launched into space now and then is something that... happens. Still looking into it.

Boy, do I suck at this. I am not entirely surprised, because it's a genre that's pretty much designed to make me feel incompetent, infuriated and inadequate (none of which should get in the way of my beta testing), but I do hope I'll manage to get further than That Level With The Tiny Gap.
Edit: Also, what this game desperately needs is a Bond-style title song. You know, "Goldfinger", "Snake Eater", "Stilt Fella".
