Haha yeah, I definitely need to improve my art for it. And I like the idea of a bard system. As for the camera feeling a bit funky, that was one of biggest pet peeves and an important one. I enter the jam with the goal of implementing a different metroidvania framework than I have been using. It definitely sped up the process and I did want the camera to lerp to the center of the rooms once the player reaches the edge of the camera's view, but I think the issues lies on the camera itself. Thats one of the things that's on my list to explore and figure out if that was the case or something else.
Thanks for playing and leaving feedback!
