This is a nice game, great work.

With some polish it can became a full game for sure.

One thing is the dash + jump to do that sequence that’s a moment that I have to press A or D + shift + space, so that’s a lot of buttons on close to each other, change the order would help allowing the dash after the jump.

And nice music.

But overall, it was a great game.

I’ll post a review for this game on my YouTube channel, probably tomorrow.

There's a lot here, but also feels like you ran out of time:

• Movement feels like it could be polished more
• My health never goes down when hit?
• Some of the initial platforming sections are a bit frustrating

Overall it feels like there's a lot of refinement lacking, but also a lot of promise if you keep working on it :)

I think this is a great entry, especially for not having a lot of time, like you said. I had a few issues along the way: 

• The first few platforming challenges felt pretty tough for early game - I found myself back at the first checkpoint many times because of the portion just after the first "up and over" rope bit where you have to quickly jump off a moving ramp, having gotten enough momentum and also avoiding floating obstacles. 
• I found the ropes a bit frustrating, maybe mostly because I had to do the first section so many times. I kept trying to speedrun from the first checkpoint to get back to the ramp I described above, but every time I'd jump and wind up just stuck slowly sliding down the rope. It would have been nice if you could, while sliding, use the directional keys to nudge yourself into the center of the rope to enter climbing mode rather than sliding mode. If there was a way to do this, I didn't figure it out. 
• With one of the platforms that moves you quickly upward, it took off before I jumped on it, and then I had to R to start again from the last checkpoint. I think I got too close to its side and touched it, instead of jumping right on top, and then set it off. 

Literally everything else about this was awesome. The sprites were great, the VFX implementations were super cool, and the music and graphics came together really well to create a really immersive experience. It felt like playing a retro game in an arcade that had a futuristic/post-apocalyptic theme. Loved the in-game tutorial overlays, the rails were great, enemies were cool. I especially liked the subtle parallax and how well the background assets worked - they had just enough detail to add interest without overtaking the player's focus. Overall such a cool and cohesive game. Awesome work!

Very lovely game!

It's fast, it's ebic, it's fun! The visuals are definitelly the star of the show here, everything looks super cool and smooth, visual effects  are top notch, and Satelea herself is adorable! Music is also a super awesome selection, even if it's not original. I love the sense of style tho, the "Ready set go!" on the start of each level and even the main menu are very eye candy!

Controls are also super smooth, very fun moveset to play around with.  My only nitpick there is that I don't like the default placement of the sword on V for the arrows scheme, it's a little confusing to have the dash on the middle of the 2 damaging moves, but oh well, that's very irrelevant on the grand scheme of things, you just get used to it lol.

Another minor nitpick I have is how the enemies kinda do their thing almost instantly after appearing on-camera, that made me take damage right after entering a room or right after respawning on a checkpoint quite a few times. Also, with the amount of visual effects going on (That are super cool as I already said) most of the times I hit stuff with a charged shot, the enemy bullets just get hidden beneath the bang bang boom boom, so I'd advice to always put anything that hurts on top of the visuals so we don't get hit by sneaky bullets. Also, the common sense for run'n'gun games where you stick to walls is that your character should always shoot to the direction opposite of the wall when doing so, because the player is totally going to be holding the direction of the wall to stay clinging on it, but Satelea is a little too obedient and just shoots the wall instead... So give my girl some self-thinking!

Minor nitpicks aside, now a bigger nitpick: The level design is... kind of a mess, honestly... Idk how to explain, but like, it wants to be a metroidvania and a fast-reflexes platformer at the same time, and it doesn't really excels on neither. It doesn't reallly let's you explore a lot since it's impossible to back track to earlier areas as soon as you leave them, and it also doesn't really present any real super engaging platforming challenge aside from a few small places here and there, like, the last level is cool, and I loved how you implemented the dash acquiring section, with the falling platforms to get there and only being able to leave by dash jumping, now THAT was an example of good level design, and I think that's more or less the direction a game like this one should be taking more, but right now this game is still on the middle of a little identity crisis sadly. 

Altought, maybe the real culprit of those mixed feelings is how the checkpoint system (doesn't) work... Firstly, checkpoints are a one time trigger, you can't pick a checkpoint that have already been picked before, and second that touching a checkpoint saves the state of EVERYTHING on the map, wich makes backtracking to explore kinda awkward since enemies won't respawn and moving platforms won't go back to their original places, and lastly a minor thing, but the checkpoints also save your camera toggle, so if you get checkpoint before camera toggling, it will untoggle your camera whenever you respawn, wich is weird. And the little hole on the very first rail tutorial is already a softlock if you fall there, wich isn't a good signal lol.

I still love this tho! I think I'm being a little harsh on it because that's exactly the kind of Metroidvania I wanna see working out! The open world Sonic-megaman-Celeste dream lives on, and I'm glad someone else also wants to see that x3

That was pretty nice! I really don't know what you're on about with this being a "short" metroidvania, the map is pretty large imo :P

The game is a weird mashup of sonic, megaman and metroidvania and I'm all for that!

The visuals on this are excellent, I really don't know what kind of magic you did to get some of those vfx(The sword! The charged shot! It looks crazy!!)

It's somewhat obvious that you're using stock music, but no worries, it fits.

The game has gotten quite a bit better since I playtested it last time. There's some unfinished ends but that's just how it is with the time limit sometimes :P

Really liked it overall. Good job!
