I saw your post and remembered I loved your game from brackeys' jam, so I hurried here.
This is well designed. There are few notes I'd like to mention:
- I didn't see the boss at the beginning, I immediatly went left at the start and was kind of lost in the loop there until I figured there might be something there. Maybe a visual cue would help guide players like me who always turn left first :D
- Death is slow. It's never fun to look at a text and wait. I do understand that you need to explain that youv'e got a new ability. But when you die without DNA you just wait.
- Animations are dope. But, triggered my archnophobia. It was fine, but still something to put in mind.
- I could get anywhere with the jump and fly only, I think that I might not even need the fly but I'm not sure. It made me not want to die and walk all over again for basically nothing. (Also, drowning takes a lot of time.)
- Cool boss.
Overall, I knew I'd like this. You didn't dissapoint.
Well done!
