Loved how fast paced the game is, really kept the adrenaline pumping! It took me a couple of tries to really understand the mechanics such as the powerups or switching colors to hurt the mages, but ever death felt like it was my fault so while a difficult game it didn't feel unfair or cheesy.

The mage cat animations on the side are very cool. They give it a sense of eerieness like they are more powerful than us. Good idea about adding the keyboard controls on the screen as cues.

While the game looks cool, the amount of information I have to learn at first to play it feels a little overwhelming for me. Starting the level easy and incrementally making it harder would be a nice idea if you’re thinking of doing a future update. Having some more text / icon or sound cues when interacting with things would also be nice because with all the icons sometimes I’m not fully sure if I’m doing the right thing. I’m also not sure if there’s an end of the level or if just keeps playing, as I don’t really see health bars and I’m not sure, when the cats disappear, if it was me who defeated them, or they just left.

I’m a bit bad with fast paced games like this, so I might be out of the norm! It looks really good though and I think if it were a bit more incremental and had a little tutorial I might adjust better to it.

This game has a very strong sense of style and great art direction. It is on the difficult side, which is very fitting for the story of escaping from the clutches of very powerful mages.

Pretty fun, I like how it seems to ramp up the difficulty over time

Fun game! Seems somewhat difficult based on the bit I played. My only real feedback on it would be that due to my hand size, holding two fingers over x and c can get uncomfortable and lead to inaccurate button presses. I tried another pico-8 game and it had the same controls though, so maybe it isn't something that developers can change.
