First of all thank you very much for your lenghty feedback. Really appreciate it. Here is some feedback to your feedback :D
What do you meant with utility in your first comment? The character customization is purely cosmetic and should make the game more interesting for you because you have a character nobody else might have :D Especially with the possibility to give him a name. Btw. the game is lying to you that your first name is not available because your name will never ever be mentioned in the game. I think nobody got that joke :D
Yes, Hollow Knight was my main inspiration. Did I do a good job reconstructing the controls?
Yeah, I did not really tweaked the gravity after I thought it was ok. I got then used to it while designing the levels. Unfortunately, none of our testers mentioned that the gravity was too high, so I didn't change it. But after getting this feedback several times now, I will pay more attention for my next games. Maybe I will make a checklist for my testers so that I get feedback for everything :D
Yeah, I used the cinemachine package from Unity which has a look ahead feature but I could tweak it so that it felt right. I will tweak the shit out of it for the next game :D
Thank you very much for playing the game until the end. Some people were not able to finish it and therefore didn't get the punchline/twist of the game.
