Just tried your game! I waited a bit before trying because when I read metroidvania I was like "okay I think I need more than 15 minutes to get an idea of this" :P
Overall, it's pretty cool and very clean for a year of work! :D
Left some feedback below!
Feedback
- I loved using the spear a lot. I found myself tapping it alot (thank goodness I can't kill NPC or I might have ended the poor Moon Priest on instinctually spear throwing when she first appeared)
- What you have done with the spear has already made it pretty juicy! Though I think you could potentially make the sound that the spear hits a surface sound a bit cooler!
- I was thinking of maybe adding something to the high frequency like a "ding" to make the sound fuller?
- Small suggestion/experiment to try, maybe it would be better to map the throw button to RMB, attack to LMB and Dash to shift. It felt a bit funny attacking with the center mouse button, which led to me throwing the spear a lot as it felt more instinctual since LMB feels more natural to click.
- Using the spear was very intuitive, and felt good! Got the gist of it even before the small hints started popping up
