  • Super cute, needs some more enemies. And test for bugs, if you run away from the bugs and run back they dissappear! Other then that it's pretty good start to a game
  • Lovely style and lovely music! The gameplay is very cute, but lacking the shadow part of the theme. The potions don't top up your counter if you only use 1 or 2 sips of them, that's a bug that should be squashed, but all in all, I loved the experience. Thank you for your hard work! Keep it up!

Did you include your Game Design Document as a Google Drive link?
Yes

Seriously... did you include your Game Design Document?
God I think so

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes!

Tell us about your game!
It's supposed to be a story about waking up in a tower with no memory of who you are. The only way to to uncover the truth is to force your way up the tower with only your wits and some potions.

Extra Notes
Writing a GDD was new for me so i relied heavily on the example provided. I'd appreciate any kind of general feedback there as well as the mechanics in my bare bones demo here

Very nostalgic, even the music reminds me of an old Mario game. obviously quite short, but that's okay!

Good work!
