I don't know who hates me more, my fingers or the keyboard x). Jokes aside - I really enjoyed the music, look and narrative, I also felt really stressed by the enemies (in a good  gamey way).

I really like the visual polish of this game, the waypoint indicator was a very nice touch. 

My hand got really tired playing though, there's quite a bit of button pressing. I find myself keeping my hands on the spark button and ignoring the dash/directional ones because of how often you have to use it.

The writing is very interesting and it made me want to finish the game even more, really well done!

Such a great experience. It had a really interesting balance of intense button-smashing gameplay as well as calm mellow story moments. Loved it.

This contains a lot of beauty. I'm a fan of the minimal visual style, appealing colour selection and music choice. I found the controls were a little wearing after a while.

I'm so glad I played all the way through because the last 2 lines of the reconstruction poem had a really arresting twist. I don't think I've ever experienced that in a game before, let alone a jam entry. <3

Thank you so much for the feedback! I appreciate it immensely. 

Also glad you enjoyed the little poem!

Masterpiece. Thank you for bringing this into the world (although my hand is numb lol)!

Developer

PS. I don't normally 'promote' my twitch but you can watch the recording of AshAshZa and I play Dirge of the Little Soul in my last VOD:) Look around the 1h:43min mark (https://www.twitch.tv/u4ia_za).  Best of luck !
