Thanks so much! This is helpful feedback.
"I also really really love all the little chase sequences and little enemy gags, it's setpieces like those that I really miss on most Metroidvanias tbh." Really glad to hear this. My favorite thing about making games is creating experiences like these, so I'm thrilled to see that it resonated with you. I told my teammates that the potato bois could either be super lame or super awesome depending on how we used them. Glad it worked.
