- Great music, nice color palette. It's really fun! The gameplay is addictive, kept dying and wanting to keep trying over and over. Being able to hold the attack button would be nice.

Cool music, nice mechanics, stressful and a bit difficult, but it's good!
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked it!
My personal best 😎
Game plays super tight to play!
Would be great if the attack button could be held down to trigger repeatedly, it's not very kind on my scuffed gamer wrists😅
Thanks for the feedback! I definetly plan on making the attack button be able to be held down once the jam is over. I'm glad you liked it regardless!
What a cool way to implement the theme, it was a challenging fight! I was not expecting so many boss phases! Can't say my time is anything to brag about though (79.047) XD. Well done!
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you had fun playing!
Very nice boss battle game. The fight isn't too hard and the visual works well in indications.
I'm glad you liked it!
Really cool ! This game has an amazing "feel" to it already, the sound design is great and the shadow mechanic is simple but it works great, this could be improved into a really fun longer game.
Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it
Man, that was a tough battle! But it truly feels rewarding when you win. This is honestly a really well polished game! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it
Snappy and simple gameplay. But it it's not boring or underbaked ! A
You rock!
Thank you!
Simple and effective. I really like the uncovering-map mechanic.
Pros:
Easy to grasp, player feedback, well-balanced inputs (main, alt, dash)
Cons:
hitboxes and movement is a tad sharp
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to play the game
A nice little boss battle with some banging music to get you in the mood. The ramp in difficulty caused a couple of deaths, but nothing I couldn't manage after a few tries. Super fun man!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it
Love it :)
Thank you!
I left a rating a few days ago, but apparently those are disabled now, so I'll leave a comment!
this game is super fun!! it picks up in difficulty fast and makes you feel the pressure, but not in a way that feels unfair. the burst attack is my best friend and my savior; actually, it might be helpful to have the player's sprite flash or something when its cooldown is over, because usually I'm too busy trying to desperately navigate my character to glance up at the corner of the screen.
Thank you for the feedback! I like your idea of having the player sprite flash when the cooldown is done, I'll likely implement it once the game jam is done. I'm glad you enjoyed the game!!!
What a treat!! This is a fantastic concept that I would absolutely purchase as a full game! I thought the movement and combat felt fantastic, and the art was out of this world! Only critique is that there are a few spots where you can be completely safe, but thats not really an issue :) Great job!!
Thank you! I'm planning on adding a couple more boss attacks once the jam is over to get rid of safe spots. Thanks for the feedback!
The gameplay is awesome! Controls feel great, music is on point, and the art style is fun and simple, yet still very informative. I would love to fight some more bosses!!
Thank you so much!!!
When the tutorial told me about how I can shoot away the light I was like "yess, that's some good design"
It's really great since it makes the common strategy of running in circles to avoid the enemies be much harder.
The difficulty is perfect, I won on like the 5th time, learning to make use of the area ability was key. Never used the dash though. Great game!
I'm really glad you liked it!!! Thanks for playing!
Super fun, very cool!
Thank you!
Really liked this one, shooting to both damage enemies and destroy tiles was a nice multi-purpose mechanic and I also liked the interactive tutorial!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
Neat game!
Thank you!
I really like the music, the tutorial is well made. Overall a very good game, well done!
Thank you so much!
This was by far my favorite submission! I love the concept, being able to shoot away the light as a shadow mage. And of course boss fights are awesome!
Thank you so much!!! I'm really glad you liked it <3
This is a tough but fun game.
I love the intractable tutorial you did, that is a very neat way to teach the controls and mechanics.
Good Job!
I'm glad you liked it!
