I am so mad I can't test it out ! Hope you re gonna upload it back when you ll have fixed your problems
Edit:
I played the game on your temp itchio page. The game feels so good like it definitely could be a full game with a story and more levels, I would enjoy play it. I wish I could have the music with the game too ! That's a really good piece of work !
For the bad things I didn't manage to fully understand the combat system, if you loose you can still pass the room like the monsters disapear, maybe it's a feature so we can't get stuck. I tried the normal way of fighting the boss but I just died without knowing if I was able to actually kill him (how many life points ?), the second time I kinda pushed him in a corner to fight him and he disapeared (don t know if that was intended). I really didn't figure out what was the grey circle appearing on the screen ?
That's sick game despite of these little things I didn't understand. I wished it was a bit longer haha !

thanks so much for the kind words! I'll probably put the music on bandcamp or spotify at some point because I would like it to live somewhere. as for the combat system, that's a totally fair assessment. the boss doesn't respawn after you die which is a significant bug. and the fact that it glitches and disappears when you corner it is also a bug. we'll definitely work those out if we decide to continue development!
the idea behind the grey circles was to establish a combat system separate from health points-the grey represents Olive's anxiety. so when she gets hit, her anxiety increases, and when she hits the boss, her anxiety decreases. the art team had some icons mocked up for this mechanic (hearts for the red dots and swirls for the grey dots), but unfortunately we didn't have time to build them into the actual game.
edit: OST is free to download on bandcamp now
