Nice work on the character sprite animations.
I like that you give the player options to use different abilities depending if they have equipped the trident or not.
From the map, it seems the game may get a lot of content to explore in the future?
Unfortunately I couldn't play much of the game as I had to give up at the second wall jumping section. I just couldn't get to the top and got tired of trying and falling.
Some improvement suggestions:
- Pressing "Continue" without a previous save game sent me straight into the map. I accidentally skipped the tutorial level by doing this the first time and was super confused. Make sure that option is disabled until the player has actually played the game at least once and set some kind of checkpoint.
- The wall jump definitely needs improvement. One shouldn't need to be a pro player to simply climb a wall.
- Player feedback can be improved when taking damage and when hitting enemies. Health bars or damage numbers are good ways to convey that.
