Cool concept, for sure. Fit with the theme and with good sound effects too. The game is VERY unforgiving though. The life limit barely got me to lvl4. And then it's back to the beggining. Not satisfying, I must say. Maybe a death counter would work better to discourage dying? Also, something very small, but very annoying - the piano resets on every death, so every 5-10 seconds. There is probably some decent music in your game, but we'll never get to hear it, because it's constantly resetting. Still, the game is finished, playable and without a doubt challenging.

I like it. I love the concept of platforming with a shotgun. I agree with leotti that it feels slippery

Purple Chasm EscapeThe idea itself is really nice. The controls feel a bit janky and the movement might be too slippery. Maybe the gun could be aimed with your cursor instead of the arrow keys. Otherwise great game!

The Disease GardenI like the limited ammo as a less is more concept but the live count make it a little hard to experiment and figure out how to approach each level. Still solid nice work!

The Night Keeperits a bit awkward to control and the lives system is annoying but other than that its a super good game and is very fun and well designed
