Great job submitting a game! I had a lot of fun. At first I felt like the game didn't give me enough direction but I was surprised at how natural it felt to discover boss fights and upgrades which led to using the mini-map and exploring the entire island. All that said I still think I would appreciate a little more direction and context at the beginning.
I loved the small puzzles scattered around, especially the skull sokoban part as well as having to get more upgrades to access other areas. I couldn't understand the benefit of expanding the HUD. It was awesome having to return to the starter area for the last boss. Big props for making a unique boss design for each one. I appreciated that at death I still had my upgrades and could use them to return where I was more efficiently. Thanks for participating!
