I like this game a lot. The art style is very cool, and the backgrounds look stunning. The sound design is also really nice, i like the kinda musical sound effects (on ladder etc), very enjoyable and pleasant to the ear! I’m also love the fact, that you can use your attack in mid air, to gain further distance, that’s very fun to use. Also that you can jump down ladders, use your attack mid air and then catch yourself on the ladder again, this makes for really cool combo possibilities. I also found the level design really good. Where in a lot of cases when you fall, you don’t fall all the way and just have to repeat a shorter section. And also so secrets are well communicated if you pay attention, nicely done.

My Only issues with this game is that the controls don’t feel tight enough for a platformer. It feel quite laggy, especially the jump. One reason might be that the jump sounds tirggers way to late, so you don’t get the instant feedback for the jump. Another issue is that you can not turn which way the character is facing in mid air (you just can control his direction) which is relevant if you wanna combo with the attack in mid air.

Thanks for the great feedback! For the level design I made them by playing a little bit, adding more to the level, and playing again until i felt like the level was enough, so I'm glad that translated to well-designed levels! (Which i usually struggle with)

I think your critique on the jump controls is pretty spot on. If i do a post jam update i definitely plan to tighten up the movements and give you more air control

I loved the overall style and aesthetic! My only complaint is the controls and handling felt a bit off. I liked the attack animation and it felt very satisfying to kill enemies.

Developer

Thanks! I played around with the controls and couldn't decide if I liked them a little more slippery or not, but I guess making them tighter would have been the better choice
