Great game!

This is easily one of my favorites from this jam. I love the aesthetics, the music, the SFX; everything blends very well. I think the level design is spot on.  I can't wait for it to be finished to replay it.

Nice  game. Enjoyed the graphics and sounds, with good level design. Good luck with the jam.

This one flew under my radar until now, but it is an exceptional retro-style game. You got a lot of mileage out of the simple aesthetic. The game nails the fundamentals and has some great extra details. I'm glad I wasn't the first to play it and comment though, because the comments helped me have a great experience. I totally would've wandered around for a long time after the double jump XD. But that's a good problem; people want to keep playing!

Some observations:

• I got stuck for a minute after getting the projectile weapon. I thought maybe the game ended there or there was a bug, but then I watched dan collins' video and realized I just wasn't quite hitting the mark to open the gate.
• The first time I did the lava room I didn't realize what happened. The lava kind of blended in for me and I didn't see it. 
• I appreciate the generous placement of save points. Good thought went into map and room design.
• It is a little weird the way projectiles almost obviate melee attacks. The game seems unsure whether it wants to be a primarily melee game or projectile game. If you want melee to keep being primary, then the recharge is probably too fast.
• I had no idea there was a map, but I didn't really need it. The progression is quite linear. 

Excellent Game! I love aesthetic. It is like the opposite of Castlevania with its bright color palette. The level design & mechanics are solid. The graphics, SFX, & music mesh together well. I don't have any major criticisms of the game. This entry really sets the benchmark for me. Great job!

Great Job!

Hello!

It was genuinely great, I really enjoyed it and explored everything in a row. I couldn't really stop playing, it was quite addictive. The player plays right from the start. The game is direct, fast, fluid and tells me what I need to know when I need to know it, and nothing more.

I want to see more of what you develop, please keep me posted.

Congratulations!

Cheers

PD: try to find the sequence break in our game :D

The gameplay are nice, i really the movement control of the player. The boss are pretty chanllenging but it isn't unfair, which is nice. And the visual and music are nice too. Basically the overall quality of the game are great.

There is a room that if you enter the game crash, which is fine since it is game jam but the room under it can go up to that room through the secret upgrade place and i dont think it suppose to be able to do that. Also not sure how to go through the 2 hits kill river, maybe its same as area 3 which is unfinished?

Anyways, really ncie game!

Out of all the 2D games in this jam that I’ve tried (only a handful, but still), this may be the best one yet! All that juice made every movement and attack so satisfying and I loved your art!

I was a bit disappointed when I found the Lead Fixation ability: with such a fast-paced gameplay up to that point, I didn’t expect to find an ability that made me move much slower and also wait for it to recharge between uses.

The camera almost always tracking the player closely when jumping felt a bit disorienting, but it may be just me.

Lastly, I encountered a couple of bugs. When grabbing that specific ledge as shown in the screenshot below and then performing a melee attack to the right, I could damage myself.

When I tried to access this area, the game crashed with the following error:

In the end, I had a blast playing this and I cannot wait for you to release the full version!

PS: The Windows build worked fine on Linux. However, even though it would detect my controller, no inputs would register, so I used my keyboard.

I Love this! I feel like superstar Jesus in the Temple of Doom or something, the controls are great, the pixel art is great, the music is good. Overall great job 5/5 will come back and play this again. I have rated about 40+ games in the Jam I think you are the 3rd or 4th 5/5

Also it HAS GAMEPAD AND IT WORKS! Your a genius

Great Job!

Loved this game!  This is one of the juiciest games I've played in the jam and I really appreciate that.  Every action seems to have a sound with it.   Really liked the dark portion too.

While I praise the juice, I think it might need to be toned down just a tad on landing on the ground.  I'm not sure that needs screen shake and maybe just a less dramatic sound effect.  However I'm happy it's in! 

I had a lot of fun playing this one. Everything felt very polished and the abilities were cool and interesting.

 The bird boss was really fun to fight and I felt that the enemies encountered before that helped prepare me.

Great game and I look forward to future updates!

I finally found someone who uses Graphics Gale! :D That was my first pixel art tool.

I like how you latch on edges and the four-directional attack, which I also have in my game. 

I encountered a bug, though, where you would always look right by default. Which would make attacks to the left a bit harder. Which was ultimately the reason why I died quite often when there were enemies on my left side.
I liked the first boss fight. I haven't made it much further because of that bug. I might give it another shot later, though.

I am really looking forward to the post-jam version of this game. 

good game, tho the screen flashes black when i got hit

Superb little retro romp!

The controls are great, the visual and audio quality is consistently good, the puzzles, secrets, and map are very well designed!

Even with playing the HTML version and getting a black screen on every hit didn't detract from my enjoyment.

Very, very good entry!

I love the pixel arts! and the music pack really fit in with the game choice.
