I love the color palette, the whole graphics is very nice.

Submitted

nice game and graphics

Submitted

Nice art and choice of music.

A restart button and camera adjustment according to area, would be nice to have.

Developer(+1)

I've added a restart button on the endscreen. I'll look into the camera changes as well.

Submitted

Nice! The improved camera offset, made the game more fun now =D

Submitted

The very first thing I noticed was that you submitted 6 days before the deadline! Wonder what you could've done with all that extra time!

I enjoyed a decent runthrough! I particularly liked the fact that the enemies did not chase me to death, they have just a small aggro radius, which feels pretty spot on.

I died because I had to drop down and fell into something that I couldn't even see to begin with.. 3 times on the same spot haha :D I'd have liked to know what I should've done different. Maybe a small delay of 1/2 seconds after dying to show the screen and give the player the opportunity to see what it was that killed them would solve it already?

mann 6 days before the deadline!! Imagine. Thank you for your submission! 

Submitted

It's short but what's there is pretty good, especially in the theme and art department. I did actually beat it with over 100 souls even if I am terrible at platformers.

Submitted

Very good looking pixel art! The aesthetics and music are very nice. The platformer part is good too, mostly because you have to pay attention to the enemies and be very quick not to get caught. Very nice game!

Submitted

Nice art design and color palette. Spectro (aka. Draggy Dog) is very cute. Nice lighting effect. Enjoyed reading your dev log too. Scored 102/159 ;)

Submitted

Game is really cool and sounds are great, everything fits well together but its very annoying that i have to refresh page when i want  to play again and wait for the game to load AGAIN

Developer

Thx for the feedback. I've added a restart button on the endscreen

Submitted

Fun game but kinda confusing on what to collect and what to avoid in the beginning, as other have said the difficulty is kind of a bit steep and a try again button would be useful but I think you followed the theme, produced a good game, and deserve high ratings.

Developer

Thx, for the feedback. I've added a restart button on the endscreen. I'll try to make things more clear so it's more obvious what to collect

Submitted

Nice 2D platformer! Art was very cool and the sound set a good mood for the game! It was hard but not impossible, although I don't think I could get all the souls without retrying a hundred times :)

And talking about retrying, a "Try Again" button at the end would be a QOL addition! Or is it there and I didn't find it?

Thank you for the fun!

Developer(+1)

Thx for the feedback. No there wasn't a retry button, I've added one now

Submitted

nice graphics, managed to collect 27 souls

Submitted

A real challenge, i will try to collect all the point and i rly love the graphics styl

Submitted

Really Nice Game! I really like the Graphic style, I loved it! Congrats!

P.S. I hate you! :P (In a good way)(you put the enemy in very strategic point, it was VERY difficult to doge them some time :D)

Submitted

Very nice! I really like the lighting  is made

Submitted

Very cool looking game, love the colours

Submitted

Well Spectro is very cute, the hero for me was the palette not to say your art was not very impressive also. Music and SFX were solid too wow I am trying to think of some useful feedback....

Perhaps some more variation in enemy movements as they were very smooth and unforgiving if you misstep.  

Submitted

Love the art style and lighting. As others mentioned, a restart button would be nice.

Developer

Thx for the feedback. I've added a retry button to the endscreen

Submitted

I liked the pixel art sprites, very good looking!

The music was also nice. Maybe tone down a bit the death sound effect.

I got 74 souls in my first run. It would have been great to have a retry button at the end.

Good job!

Developer

Thx for the feedback. I've added a retry button at the endscreen.

Cool game. Love the visuals. I would suggest a MUCH easier first level to teach the player how to play the game. Maybe even have the camera lead when having to jump down and move side to side to collect those souls. Ease in the difficulty from there. Oh! And I would suggest making the souls orange, or the enemies orange. Everything being blue, it's harder for stuff to stand out. Nice artwork!

Developer

Thx, for the feedback. I'll keep the feedback in mind for my next jam

Submitted

Nice jump and run. I like the great color theme.
