Heyy, thank you so much for the feedback! We are huge fans of Hollow Knight and just wanted to make a game from the other perspective. We had very little time to make this and yes the gameplay mechanic definitely needs a lot of work, and we are already in the process of fixing the bugs and the feel of the game. Reskinning the characters is definitely something we can do, and we have plans of doing it!.
Your feedback has honestly been incredible and we hope you like the finished product! Please feel free to leave any additional feedback that you may have!
