I leaped into the portal and found myself in new world.

This was super fun! I did not expect such a great dungeon and liked every aspect of the game.

I first reached the ending sequence without the spear and enjoyed this part as I like first wondering how to approach a sequence right then wondering if I'm missing an item or not, then being confident I'm missing something and looking for it but with still a little doubt I might just doing it wrong. So close yet so far with just an bowman stuck in the way, that's perfect.

Not totally sure if the music perfectly fits but at least it's very nice so it's fine either way, the dungeon is very detailed with plenty of verticality and the different tools needed to advance, I think you get an extra key that you can use in two different doors but both are accessible another way, I actually like this kind of alternative solution to a problem. The game almost plays as fast as you click which is great too and finally the combat sequence are not all trivial especially the last ones, I guess you can also try to approach a fight sequence without the right tools and it's actually not doable with what you currently have which migh be great but I don't think it happened during my run.

This is an excellent entry, congratulations.

The game was fun to play!

It is a bit confusing where you are supposed to go next so I spent time just wandering around trying to figure that out. Dungeon looks great, nice lighting. Enemies are plain and pixely and combat is deterministic and understandable. The reset position crystals was a nice addition. The puzzles could have been a bit more though out.

Excellent submission!

What a nice game! I really liked the combat how you need to carefully dance around enemies and know their attacks and your weapon abilities. And addition of dash and jump just reinforced that gameplay. Verticality was a great addition to that kind of combat, and you really need to pay attention to your surroundings, which is cool.

Great job, it’s really cool and fun game!

Interesting. Part puzzle, part dark souls, part metroidvania with a really solid progression that feels rewarding. 

Nice use of verticality, the world was more of a core part of the puzzle than a place to explore which I think fits this games mechanics well. The inclusion of traversal abilities is just a really interesting idea that I haven't really seen to much in this genre.

Enjoyed the combat, a little simple (Understanding given its a jam game) but I like that kind of positional combat and the ! made it easy to choreograph the attacks as opposed to having to read the animations or learn the specific timings which can be frustrating. 

Not sure if you pulled the background music loop from a CC0 source or its something you put together for the jam itself, but its nice. Really relaxing and chill vibe. At the beginning I thought it was maybe an odd choice for the game, but once I started to kind of click with the game as more of a cute tactical puzzle crawler, it resonated a bit more.

Hey,

cool game you made there. I really liked the combat with the strategic component esp. in conjuction with the upgrades. The visuals where fitting. I really liked the signs. The sound and music was a bit on the low end here. And for me at least it was a tit too long - the last part wasnt to much fun anymore for me. And was there something supposed to happen after the portal. The Game just stopped with the congrats and the portal filling the screen. Was a bit anticlimatic. :D A bit more story sourrounding the game would have been nice. But for this the time you put together a well polished game with a really nice amount of content!

A solid entry  with good mechanics and a lot of verticallity.

Decent ambient music and sound effects and good movement but I am more used to "Q" and "E" for turning not strafing.

There where some instances where I was floating in mid air (with no ladder).

It looks like using a health crystal triggers a respawn of the enemies, I got stuck in a "slay bats -> use crystal" loop until I realized this.

Nice and enjoyable jam entry.

That was intensive! The music got a bit grating after a while, but I had to complete it. I liked every mechanic of the game. Very well done!

I liked the combat system, having the enemies "charge" their attack gave some tactical depth outside of just trading clicks to kill. The progression was really nice as well, getting different items and opening up new paths to change up the core gameplay way great.

the fast paced combat is cool, getting little items that alter your way of playing and looking at the map is very cool too. Liked the game a lot, would love to see it evolve to a full game!

Nice retro vibes. Map seems huge and well crafted, good job!

Very nice - I liked the music and was instantly hooked

Nice job! great presentation and atmosphere!

I really liked playing this. It felt peaceful and fun

Great progression through one big level that isn’t big for no reason. It felt like everything had purpose and was designed incredibly well.

I would absolutely play a full version of this game with more mechanics / lots of movement puzzles like the ones presented here.
