So my review as my perspective:
The Game has very nice gameart, I just love pixelart.
The music was very Good, I liked the mood you gave to this world.
The Gamedesign was very nice I liked the mission, so to train your lie so you can pass this guard, but the problem was I didnt really understand what to do, I pressed space and cubes started to spawn on the screen till i checked that this is were I need to go. I didnt really understand what these black shadows are and died because of them. This was really confuesing.
The game fits very good to the theme I think.
to the minimap: I dont know that the minimap is there for, you just see what you see, but just in small XD.
But overall a great game, Keep up the great work !
