It's very cute, although I'm personally not a fan of the super low res pixel graphics. Maybe also because mixels look very jarring at that resolution. I think the effects you used mixels on could be very easily made using proper pixel sizes. I agree with the deer mount feeling too floaty and due to the small levels I never had the urge to hop on it to cover a larger distance + I can't fight on it either. Needs some extra polishing on the sounds. It gives me some animal well vibes overall. The boss was alright in terms of difficulty but since the rest of the game was so easy it felt a bit jarring to suddenly be challenged. Be careful with binding X/Z because german keyboard layout sucks, but at least you had alternate controls that were fine. Also I kinda hate not being able to jump with W, is shooting up really important for the game?
