The game is pretty good. The boss section is the weak part as the stealth power are usesless against him. And any of his attacks can kill the player from full health, but the second phase is especially so. 

Still good game.

Glad you somewhat enjoyed... the boss actually in the first stage did half a heart, and the second stage did 1.5 hearts per projectile. It appears to oneshot when you get hit by multiple projectiles at close range.

Such a beautiful and well executed game, loved the stealth mechanics!

The art is perfect, I loved every single part of it.

The music was a good addition to the game, only on the boss fight that it doesn't fit, maybe a more intense one would be better. 

The sections on which the enemies were placed were well designed, giving different ways to advance. But I have to say, maybe the boss fight compared to the rest of the game is a little bit too hard.

Overall a very fun, beautiful and addictive game, can't wait for more updates! Congrats!!

Nice one! I like it! Wish I had time to play more :D

Everything was so seamless, the tone was perfect and consistent through out all of the "pillars of design". Would have loved a ranged attack, but that definitely falls into the "personal preference" category, great job!

Maybe you could explore the "holes" theme a little bit more , but I liked it!! Very interesting graphics and music! Enemies were well designed and the boss was difficult but rewarding! Nice job!! :)
Here is our game, please consider rating it too ;)

Great polished game! Second phase of boss fight was too hard for me tho. I need practice. Music and graphics was cool and fit to mood of the game. Good job!

Such a cool mechanic and so well executed. The controls feel really good. I know I can attack from invisible but it’s so satisfying to pop out of invisibility and immediately kill an enemy before he can react. Love the character design too. The enemies are all unique and interesting. Great job on this game. It deserve every bit of the attention it’s gotten.

So far the best one I played, the gameplay was fun and intresting only a few notes, the enemy switching their patrol positions is too fast for even the first levels and the rift could be expended more on than just a hidey hole and ofc the boss, the only way to win is to make sure you spam him to infinity before he transforms. Otherwise great game!

Developer

Hey thanks for playing! The enemy patrol switch is a very interesting note, will definitely tweak that after the jam ends. The boss is definitely an area that we are looking to improve on in the future. Thanks for such helpful suggestions :3

The art is perfect, I also would like to know how do you make certain parts glowing? (Like the part on the boss)

The control is okay, I don't know if the rapid fire rate of enemy is meant to be designed for stealth.

In normal levels, it's still viable to win, but in boss level, it's just too hard to beat it in final phase.

I ended up spamming attacks to win.

But overall, the concept of the game is good, and it's smooth to play.

I love the graphics!  RATED!!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game.  The graphics are good, and I enjoyed the top-down game style.  I really liked your character sprites, and the title screen graphics.

It would be nice if you could attack enemies above and below you (instead of just right and left).  The controls where just a little award, but the game play was pretty solid.

I also really liked your lighting effects.

Nicely done!

What a great challenging game! Great work with both the hiding and time slowing abilities. i love your take on the theme!

Awesome design, and really creative mechanics, well done!

Liked the game, it's very well made. Sometimes it reminds me of hollow knight. It's fun, and hidding in the rift is nice. The boss is a little too difficult in the second form for my taste, but it is just personal. Good job.

Amazing work! Really interesting and well made  game, I really enjoyed it! But I have to say that boss fight was a little bit too hard compared to levels before. Despite that game was just awesome!

Really liked the Graphics and the whole Idea of the game.

I enjoyed it.  At moments felt like i was cheating when skipping enemies, besides that i liked everything. Well designed and polished game, 5 on design. 

Developer

Haha, you shouldn’t feel bad for skipping enemies! We wanted to reward stealthy and strategic players ;) Although I’m glad you had fun and we’ll take your suggestion into account ^_^

Wow, just wow.

I love your art. 

And your game mechanics.

I can only mention a few problems:

BALANCING : All levels were too easy compared to the boss fight. I think you could have added a few more challenging levels before the boss fight.

MUSIC : Music was great but I don't think it fits the boss fight level. That is just my opinion.

STORY : At the beginning the NPC said trust no one but there was no explanation or something to tell you what is going on?!

PAUSE MENU : There is none :(

Overall your game was awesome, I was sad that how soon it ended :(

I think you should release a full game out of this, it has a lot of potentials. Your game can be the next Hollow Knight.

9/10

Good luck.
