The gameplay was amazing both equally fun and challenging. The art was the best I've seen. I would also say that the jumping does need a bit of work.
The presentation of this game is the best I've seen so far, and the left right movement feels good but as others have said the jump could be worked on a little to make it less of a challenge (especially considering the spikes insta kill)
Pretty stunning character design and animation amazing job, the backgrounds are pretty nice too. I would suggest giving a bigger jump, as this one seems too small for the character. I felt the jumping was harder than the rest of the game
The camera transitions when moving up and down on platforms could be more smooth since it jerks in some place "When I went down a few levels" to pick up an orb but it works. A larger field of view woul d be great too I don't think I can react fast enough to 2 shot the enimies to kill them by the time they get to me, so it's not exactly fair. I guess you can at least prefire a lot but seems cheap personally.
There is a clear and defined goal which is to get the orbs which is great.
The first enemy I saw looked pretty cool, like a seal mixed with a angler fish, trying to jump over them I learnt that you can charge the arrow up and shoot it using the "F" key, which was awesome, so I kicked his ass ( and all the other ones ofc). I like how you can let the arrow charge on it's own to manually do it, that was awesome attention to detail.
After collecting all the blood orbs, I played level 2 and more jumping ahh, I could not bring myself to beat it but this game was awesome so great job.
The art of the backgrounds and title screen is really well made. The collection of other assets is decent too, I really like the ambient music you found. The sounds for shooting and dying need to be turned down a bit. The gameplay doesn't feel as good. I like the shooting mechanic but it has infinite range so there's no reason not to spam it down a hallway. The jumping feels really low and jumping over spikes is too precise. The boss also moves a bit too fast which makes the fight tedious however it's not too long so it's fine for now. Really great ideas and design just held back a bit by execution.
Like the art and the controls. Good hitboxes overall. nice shooting mechanics.
The controls are on the game page just scroll down
good game! needs a screen telling you the controls because I couldn't figure out how to shoot but I really like the art style and the movement nice and doesn't make the game too easy.
