Thank you for your feedbacks :)

I finished Project Selene! The story and writing are very nice, good job.

My remarks:

• Graphics are simple but effective, it's very readable although it could look a bit nicer with more work.
• The soundtrack was a bit repetitive especially in the base, might want to add a few different sound in some rooms.
• The infiltration phase were a bit frustrating at times, the field of view was too small for me to be really able to plane my moves correctly, and I think the position of the NPCs were not reset, making it impossible for me to learn the timing (also true in the last antigravity field puzzle, impossible to see the whole map, so impossible to really plan my moves, I just go randomly until I learned it all).

Finally, personal opinion but, a society that executes a suspect of treason without any evidence or trial doesn't look ideal to me ^^ I'm not sure it's really much better than the one on earth.

I played From the Core, good stuff.

It was enjoyable to figure out how to use the apparently simple mechanics we start with at the beginning to learn how to do more and more with it. I actually wish there wasn't any hint, because it felt much better when I figured out a mechanic by myself rather than when it was explained to me.

My main criticism is toward the controls. I suppose it was made to feel like the old style metroid games (and maybe also to make sure the player can easily aim straight down when jumping?), but being able to only shoot in 8 directions was a bit annoying. It makes aiming extra hard in some situations, in the wrong way imo. The character movements felt heavy and slow, and the charge shot also felt pretty long.

I couldn't play with the controller because my mouse was conflicting with it, and it was hard to place the mouse relative to the character to aim correctly. Maybe use the mouse position relative to the center of the screen, that way when doing a long jump for example, we don't have to move the mouse along with the character.

I'm not a huge fan of the aesthetic, but I guess it's an homage and that will really be a personal preference :)

I definitely felt the sense of progression without power ups that you are talking about, so great job on that!

I hope you can give us some feedback on our game ;)

I played To the moon :)

The art is cute, both sounds and graphics. I think you should add some textboxes at the bottom of the screen to display the dialogs with more readability, both during the intro and the game.

There are a few bugs, I fell forever by going on the edge of the screen at the beginning and had to restart the game. The mouse is not locked in the window so I kept unfocusing the game when aiming.

It feels strange to be pushed away while shooting even when we are on the ground. Have you consider disabling that when the character is grounded? Or is it something you really want in your mechanics? Cause it makes it cumbersome to aim and shoot at one target multiple time since the character is moving at every shot.

Hope you keep working on it! I'd be glad to hear your feedback on our game ;)
