This game has great energy - no one expects the bald incursion. :)
Loved the art style on display here. Overall darker tone to the game was pretty consistent across the board, but will clear enough to distinguish everything that you needed to. Liked the effects on the directional indicator, and subtle effects like the screen shaking a bit whenever landing or colliding with a wall. Definitely made the game feel more alive. Character animations and menuing were also quite good.
For a few things that I felt could be improved - the speech audio effect was a bit grating; I get the general vibe that you were going for there, but I think after my fifth time listening to it from the vagrant was when I had to turn it down. I'm also not sure what the purpose of the text that pops up on collision is - it seemed like it may have been done for some comic-book style flavor; in that scenario, I think it makes sense to include, but maybe not on every collision event.
Overall a very solid game, well done!
