This is super polished and really wicked. The art is extremely super metroid inspired but feels unique on it's own and I love that. The jumping felt really responsive and fluid, and the animations played out perfectly. The sound was really fitting especially the design on the slow down sound effects. The text at the start feels distant from what the game is and I wish you had time to work on that more. Waiting for all the text to pop up and fade away was very slow and didn't match the pacing of the game. I wish my health bar was more obvious.
