yup it works
got 49 gems but no idea where the last one was. maybe an indicator for whether there are any left on a room couldve narrowed it down,
liked the hidden areas, it gives a moment of anticipation
dash felt good
felt the game had the 'peaceful metroidvania' vibe. the music contributed a lot to that, its a really meditative track. it did feel a bit like a few seperate rooms you play in rather than a connected map
there wasnt any sounds but i think something like a sound effect for when you pick up a gem or a jingle that plays when uncovering a secret area would feel rewarding when you do find stuff
graphics were really functional, can tell exactly whats what
Thanks! There is a gem in the first room that you need air dash to get & is very hard to find, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the last one. I like the idea of having a gem counter for each room, that would make things much easier.
I'll have to look into making the map feel more connected. It gives a nice feeling in MVs to have a connected open world, but the doors are much easier to program. That would be a good project after adding that the basic stuff that is missing like sound effects.
I'm glad that the graphics were acceptable. I did everything except the hero sprite by myself for the first time & didn't expect it to look very good. I feel like it could be a lot better, especially the dash upgrade sprite.
Thanks a lot for playing & for your feedback!
