God damn, I was very surprised by this. A high quality entry for sure.
Love the game feel, the music, solid pixel art, everything's so well done.
The combat is satisfying as hell.
I got to the town, bought some kind of jumping ability/relic from the old man but I couldn't figure out how to equip it to proceed in that forest area. So unfortunately I can't finish this for now but this is a stellar project.
Excellent job, man!
