I liked the artstyle and lightning. The character movement and platforming felt pretty cute. Well done^^

For some reason, the character truly resonated with me; they had a humorous charm. The nod to Dark Souls with the campfire saves was a delightful touch. While the camera angles could use a bit of tweaking, overall, it's a commendable submission. Well done!

I like the camera and room layout, also an interesting art style. I did manage to complete it! Here's a recording at timestamp 1:21:53

Very nice! I adore the art style, it's simple but just well thought out and cohesive. Something about the little stick figure and the gratuitous amount of blood gives me a sort of Flash game vibe that I really dig.

Sometimes when I respawned I would start out running, which was a bit disorienting. Something to look into if you're planning on working on this more.

Overall, nice work!
