I liked the music, the dithered background and how everything overall looks. Well, textures are filtered which isnt ideal for this kind of game and I don't know how to progress. I entered all the portals and killed all monsters but yeah no progress. Still a nice idea though.

I like the pixel art artwork. the music is also great. 
but i don't know how to progress in the game, i try the left bottom portal and the right portal, all just lead me to a empty room.

I loved the music and the aesthetic. Really nice and polished intro. I did run into many bugs though, when I entered the room that's connected to the bottom, nothing happened. Also the collision didn't seem to be consistant, so sometimes I didn't lose any HP despite being hit by bugs. But any how I do see good potential of a solid metrovania. Keep up the good work!

This is a really nice aesthetic that has been created here. The music feels very ethereal, and I especially enjoyed the boss music.  The opening splash screen looked great!
