Your design

Feel free to share your ideas for future updates — I’d be happy to hear them!

• Maybe could use dash to break through an ice block?
  
• Think could do with a 1min or something time left reminder. If you're not near the exit already, 10 seconds isn't enough. maybe 30 at least.
  
• Grapple/swinging might be interesting but seems less necessary after few early upgrades.
  
• Occasional Moving blocks/ledges? Imagine that would be complicated in procedurally generated worlds and have to kill or injure the player if get squashed.
  
• Couldn't see any clue what the 4th icon/ability does (one that looks like a backpack, default key Z) so took while work out what it does.. Isn't listed in controls either and I kept thinking was meant to open the bazaar.
  Can't figure out what the first icon's for either, the 3 lines one with no control indicated. I assume meant for something later.
  
• Careful time jump over top of a red blister about to pop could be used as a risky jump boost like rocket jumping.

Thank you!

Already did in 0.4.

Noted. It's easy.

Grapple/swinging might be interesting but seems less necessary after few early upgrades.

I have a sketch for it. Since the game is getting faster, I haven't done any testing yet.

Planned.

Couldn't see any clue what the 4th icon/ability does (one that looks like a backpack, default key Z) so took while work out what it does. Isn't listed in controls either and I kept thinking was meant to open the bazaar. Can't figure out what the first icon's for either, the 3 lines one with no control indicated.

I see. Since I'm not focusing on the graphics yet (icons, for example) UI may feel a bit chunky. By design, the icon without a bind works all the time. And it is a Wall-running ability.
The Z ability is a Jetpack. The game uses physics, so you need to hold it a bit to take effect. And I forgot to enable it in the binding menu, yes...

Careful time jump over top of a red blister about to pop could be used as a risky jump boost like rocket jumping.

Interesting, I'll run some tests.
