Wow, this game is really polished in some places! Very detailed menu, lots of options, cool unique loading screen, a lot of unique character art. Overall, the character designs are very charming and memorable, and their attack animations can look cool too. However, all this polish makes some of the more unpolished sections of the game stand out more, such as the lack of clear feedback (audiowise and otherwise) in combat. I also encountered a crash while talking to the NPC after the first save (maybe because I was mid character swap?), and found out that by using the electric boy's abilities repeatedly, I could jump infinitely high, and eventually fell out of the map. I also took damage from the bottom of spikes when jumping into the ceiling below them.

Is there a way to get out of the catacombs to the left of the central area? I got through the thief door but it feels like everything else there is an endless labyrinth of spikes and fire. I wandered around for quite a while but couldn't really find out what I was supposed to do or where to go.

There's a lot of really cool stuff to this game, it makes a strong first impression, the art is gorgeous, but I think the core gameplay and level design needs more refinement. I'll give it another look if it turns out I missed something obvious!

The graphics are top notch for a gamejam, especially the character art and the UI background. I was amazed at just how much depth there was in the UI, even the settings menu had multiple, very complex options. And the characters had backstories! I unfortunately hit a platform that I was not able to jump onto, so was unable to continue my journey upwards, but will give this another shot later.

Some feedback:

- It's been said, but combat sounds and combat feedback would be very helpful. There are numbers, but at times it's not clear if the enemy is hitting me or if I'm hitting the enemy or if there are iframes or other things like that, just a lot of small combat considerations to be made.

- Everything feels pretty floaty, the character jump and fall as well as the enemies falling. I think locking some of the enemies to the platform they spawned on would alleviate that problem, it could get a little frustrating to have several enemies slide down to the platform I was planning on jumping onto, especially when I didn't know if they were hitting me or not at the same time.

- There's a treasure chest near the very beginning that I opened, but it's not clear if I got anything from it or not. Just that it was opened.

- I'm adding this one in because I'm also trying to wrap my head around making compelling 2.5D worlds. Some of the foreground obstacles, while impressive looking, block player vision for a bit too long and become more of a hindrance than the eye candy they're meant to be. I think there's a veyr careful balance to strike here when incorporating elements like this (trying to keep thm relegated to corners or decide on objects that would  logically be thin enough that they don't obscure the entire character model at any one time.

Overall the presentation is very good and from many of the details it's clear that you care about this project, so I hope to see you continue working on it. I'll also give it another shot later on to see if I can get past that jump and explore more of the world / learn more about all those hidden characters in the menu. Nicely done!

The game look great, but I do not have SFX for abilities. That aside, the VFX are cool, even though it might lack some feedback in the combat. There are many bugs with the interfaces (the most frustrating one, it hides my cursor). It has some good potential, I am going to keep an eye on it.

After download and see the beautiful menu resolution and settings. I started the game and had an Unreal Engine crashing error.... sorry hope this works out for you
