My feedback is pretty much the same as pdil. I enjoyed the art style and the extra dimension. The combat felt pretty good, with nice animations and a variety of weapons that all felt distinct. I bet it would feel really nice with some SFX.

I got stuck for some time on the "crystal jump", and even now I'm not really sure how it's supposed to work. It seems you have to stay stationary when you jump, get the timing for the attack just right and then input a direction? It's very hard to pull of, which is a shame because I figure it could be used during combat to avoid enemies and attacks.

But just like pdil I gave up in the room with the weird blue-ish shape. I was expecting to collect an upgrade that would let me use the metroid-shaped thingies, but I just couldn't figure it out, despite pressing all the buttons on my controller. All the other abilities had a tutorial popup explaining how they worked, but sadly not this one.

Still, a nice-looking entry that would make for a pretty interesting game with more polish. Keep at it! :)

I really enjoyed this but I think I downloaded before it got delisted (?)
You should unprivate it I had alot of fun (once I figured out controls)
I beat the final boss and I was such a high level it couldnt do damage to me lol (I killed very enemy I came across)
Very cool hack and slash metroidvania 
If anyone else managed to download before delist I will add controls below

Controls:
Arrow Keys space to jump
w to interact with/accept ability rectangles
z to attack z mid air to activate blue ability
if using the blue ability above an area that resets your position dont move until bounce for it not reset your position to start of room
space midair to activate green ability
x + a direction held to use red ability

Hi, thanks for trying. Yes, I accidentally un-listed the game.

Despite getting stuck and struggling with the controls, I really enjoyed this!

  • Something is off with the collisions, especially with the projectile attacks, so if you're standing near a wall, it seems like you don't fire anything but I'm guessing they are hitting the wall instantly.
  • The first star jump is really hard, I almost gave up initially.  the next one I got first try.
  • I got to the square with 4 rectangles around it but couldn't figure out what to do to progress.  One try glitched and put my character mostly off screen and I couldn't move so I had to restart but I still didn't figure it out.
  • Changing weapons really confused me, that I bring up the menu then have to "activate" it to choose.

The character art was great and while not super deep, I enjoyed the combat.  I've done a 2.5d beat-em-up before and the collisions can be tricky.

Hi, thank you for trying my game! Yeah, I had quite a lot of difficulty making this game work without bugs, so I basically spent the entire jam debugging. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though!
