This game is incredibly impressive! There's an amazing amount of features and systems in here. I know you said you used your own engine, but I'm still impressed. I even noticed the enemy vision systems. That's a great detail.

I do thing there's a lot of potential to this game, but as it is now, it's not very fun. However! There are obvious paths to making this game feel beyond a game jam: varying weapon effects, more levels, more enemies, player powers...it sounds like a lot, but you seem to have gotten a lot of the busywork of making a game out of the way. Be proud of this.

Great entry to the Metroidvania jam! I love all the different perspectives that you wrote this game from. The gameplay in general was quite good, if a bit repetitive. Level design was a bit repetitive as well, but you made a pretty huge map in a month so not a big deal. I really don't see how you did all of this in a month. I may have missed it, but an option to turn all of the blood off would be very nice; I wouldn't feel comfortable playing this one around any sort of younger kids.

I love how you can chain attacks together, and the enemies can as well! I have quite a few different feedbacks for different aspects of the game; let me know and I can leave them in a comment here or send them directly to you on Discord, email, etc.

Nice game. Liked the character creator and overall polish of the game. I would love to see some better level design because right now its a little boring and repetetive. Little weird controlls too (not too weird but unusual) especially the jumping key - it was hard to combo all the three attacks and then quickly jump. Don't know about the door keys either, I didn't really need to collect all of them to progress. Overall a nice game but a little too ornamented and less meat and potatoes :)

Congratulations on the publication! So much polish, between the character custom, the stats in the pause menu, and the little effects and dialogue. It's a very good game, with a nice handling even if I would have liked another jumping touch than H. Well done again!

A really great entry! I appreciated the depth in the equipment system. Perhaps the weapons could level-up automatically, like in Cave Story. The AI was pretty great too, backing up from the player like that. Got difficult quickly though, I died so many times in that spike room. Good stuff, great blood effects.
