I was sad to hit the wall of the cluster enemies because I was enjoying this one. Cute graphics and a good vibe. The music is especially good. As others mentioned, the jump is a little weird the way it disallows short jumps.

The game is fun, and I like the abilities. I figured out you can go past the cluster enemy by slowing time and going through, but that got me nowhere (I got a couple keys but wasn't able to open any doors, it seems). Then I went out of bounds and got stuck, unfortunately. Also, the background is trippy.

Is there a correct way to get past the cluster enemies?

Great game! I enjoyed the overall design and vibe. The general gameplay was a lot of fun too... although I got stuck at an impasse fairly early.

A couple points of feedback:

  • I was only able to get the main menu to work by pressing ALT+TAB. And I read here that just TAB works too, but the red flashing doesn't work properly just pressing TAB only.
  • The jumping felt over-tuned. I got used to it after a while, but the platforming was made more difficult because there wasn't a way to make shorter, more precise jumps.
  • I tried both keyboard and pad controls — the former felt very cramped up while the latter was great!
  • Some buttons didn't seem to work? When I got to the clock, I tried both the buttons prompted (and just spammed attack, jump, etc) but I wasn't able to save.
  • Maybe intentional... but can that spider cluster thing even die? I was attacking it for what seemed like minutes before moving on. Every area was blocked off by them though.

All in all, a very enjoyable game. The damage text and hearts gave me a dopamine kick.

I think the main page may not have mouse or input enabled. 

yeah you have to use TAB

Thanks for catching that!
