art/animations are very good. level design is just corridors so I wouldn't call it a metroidvania, just an action platformer. combat feels like it's missing a crouch attack or combos or something to spice it up. game's also pretty buggy at the moment, couldn't get out of one animation's end pictures so I had to restart the game and that was frustrating. think it was the owl but I don't remember for sure, was something earlier on at least. that made me not want to lose to anything which isn't any fun in these games. it's also not clear that you'll respawn at the beginning of an area rather than at the start of the game. gold requirements are too high, I went through the whole thing destroying what I could and only got enough for one picture which sucked.
anyway, shows promise, but won't play again in its current state
