this is actually one of my favorite games on this website. The simplicity in both the art style and gameplay is what makes it so good.
edit; if this comment does get any traction and perhaps the dev sees it, you should add a palette feature much like downwell- just a recommendation.
second edit: a restart key would be good so that if you get hit at the beginning of the run and just don't feel good about it you can restart instantly instead of what I usually.
Thanks, this is very nice to hear!
The game was made for the B&W jam and the voting is still ongoing, so I cannot update it yet. However, I have some improvements already implemented and working on more, including a pause menu (with a restart button, indeed), rebindable controls, better camera movement. I will add all of that in a couple of days.
I have also created a palette swapping system (apparently every 1-bit game worth its salt has to have one), but I'm not yet sure how to use it. Perhaps it will be some kind of progression system.
