I really liked the visual style and the level designs, and the shoot mechanic was nice. I disliked (a lot) that the text is modal - i.e. it blocks gameplay - but pretends to be non-modal. So - very often - you walk up to something, interact with it, nothing happens, so you walk away. And then ten seconds LATER the dialog finishes playing and now the item is 'magically' usable -- but there's no reason to go back to the ittem because as a player you already 'known' it doesn't do anything.

This is a problem even without the slow walking speed (Which makes it worse every time you have to walk back to something that was invisibly disabled by the dialog).

If you're going to have gameplay-disabling dialog, it should really cover the center of the screen and stop the player from doing other things :)

(I only stopped playing because of the slow walking speed -- take one wrong turn, and it punshies you badly. I was shooting at an enemy forever and nothing happened. No indication if I was damaging it or not - I suspected I needed a different waepon, but the thought of walking slowly all the way around the level in case I found another weapon -- or to re-interact with every object - was too much)

Interesting game. Gameplay is engaging, but as already mentioned in the comments, I think the movement should be faster or the levels smaller. The way it is now there are big chunks of gameplay where nothing really happens. Also the aiming with the bow was very hard on keyboard. Sadly I didn't finish the game, because i got stuck in the room where I was supposed to get the bomb. When defeating the enemy here everything in the room disappeared and I couldn't get out.
Nevertheless I like the idea behind this game. Great job!

I like it. The hand-drawn paper art style is great. The audio is chill. Navigation, exploration, and environmental traps are good! The weapons and how you get them as you progress are nice.

One suggestion: add some signal for the bomb ticking or a visual notice for the player. I got killed because, when I first placed the bomb, I didn’t know if I needed to interact with it to start defusing.

Really fun chill game. The art style reminds of playing through a DnD map and the controls and sense of exploration reminded me of a Zelda style game. I also admire anyone who sets up controller controls. Overall the best advice I ever heard when making a game is make everything twice as fast and see how it plays. This game would have been better if a bit faster. The music is nice and chill. The sound effects were lovely but. I would have liked a little meatier hit sounds/trap sounds. Clever use of enemies but they would have been fun with a little more movement. I enjoyed your sense of puzzle design and I think you've got some real skill there, the light puzzles, bomb puzzles and sequence puzzles were all a lot of fun. I was frustrated that I somehow missed two coins (I think it might have been some weird sense of spawning in the water boss room). Overall though, I really dug this game, it has a strong vibe.

I really appreciated the hand drawn graph-paper aesthetic. Nice little game!

This was a very fun game to play! I enjoyed the puzzles and lighting. I do agree that the movement/arrow speed should be faster since the map is pretty big. Also, I got stuck after defeating the boss. I left then came back into the room to get the chest but was locked in again. Overall, great work and I loved the art! 

Good gameplay and art, I quite liked the crossbow mechanics.  My main advice would be to make everything more fast paced, faster movement make the arrow move faster, the game is also too forgiving healthwise.

The gameplay is nice. It has minimal art, chill music, and lighting. I enjoyed playing this; great work!
