This game is pretty fun, I also really like the graphics even though they're not original.

Great game! Loved the progression. Really only thing I missed was a close attack. I didn't even notice the shop until after I finished the game. Great job!

Neat little metroidvania! The new abilities were satisfying to get, the upgrade and shop systems are cool additions, and even the bosses were pretty fun. If I had to nitpick, the visuals are a bit inconsistent (maybe because they were pre-existing assets), the flying enemies are hard to hit, and it's easy to have more money and souls than you need, but it's still very enjoyable.

Great work on this! I wish you could get a checkpoint after bosses, so you didn't have to face them again when you died to a common enemy. outside of that this was a really fun Metroidvania esque game!

Awesome :) A lot of effort has gone into it. I liked the game. There was one error, or I don't know if it's an error. When the ghost attacked the game froze.
