This is a really clean and tight platformer metroidvania. Very well thought-out, with fun new mechanics every time. A good level of challenge. Took me a while to beat.

Very cool music and art style. Unfortunately you will loose points from me because it feels not very towery.

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks! I was going to make the level design more vertical, to make more towery, but then I didn’t.

Awesome game with a great feel. I love the simplicity of the checkpoints blinking on when you run past. The controls are smoooth and the effect when picking up a new item is really satisfying.  Love the little details like the smoke puff when you jump and the subtle alarm in the music giving a sense of urgency and action.

Developer

Thanks!

I dug the color palette and the artwork. The puzzles were challenging but fair, and the wall / floor smashing was satisfying! The music was one of my favorite parts, with the weird vibe and changing tempo :)

The controls started to get awkward as I went deeper. They felt responsive and all that, it's just the key layout was something I struggled with. But overall great job!

The controls felt great! Generous coyote time, breaking through walls and the floor had a nice feel, and the music was pumpin'.

The colors really went very well with your fast paced and fluid gameplay. I loved the feeling of exploration and reward after finding a new ability. This game was very well-crafted and enjoyable to play. I really appreciated the checkpoint system as well. Fantastic work!
