Here's a list of commands you can type in a PowerShell window to run the game on Windows (shift + right click in exporer -> open PowerShell here):
set-executionpolicy remotesigned python -m venv ./.venv ./.venv/Scripts/Activate.ps1 python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip python.exe -m pip install pygame-ce pytmx python.exe main.py
I like the artstyle and animations, very neat! I especially like the dash animation! The controls are ok, the character moves well, but the jump going off on release feels weird!
I think some aspects need some balancing like the visibility of the spikes or the enemies health (it takes so much time to kill them that I often just rushed through them), but overall it's a nice little game, very metroidvania.
