No worries I expected as much that most people probably wouldn't make it to the end. I wish I had been able to playtest the level design. 

Thanks for Playing :D

Hey there, I decided to give your game another chance since I saw so little of it. I found out what I was supposed to do, I had to go up some one-way platform that I thought was a ceiling and got another ability, I think it was the double jump? Anyway I played for hours, kept running around in circles until I eventually found some new ability, rinse and repeat and I still haven't finished the game. This game is huge and I'm amazed at how much you work you've done!

I think I have better feedback now:

  • It's too easy to get lost for three reasons that add up together: the map is too open (you can move in every single direction), there is no minimap and every zone looks the same. Whenever I got a new ability I could remember some place I saw previously that could probably use that ability, the problem was remembering how to get to that place. This was why I really spun around in circles for way too long before finding those places I knew I saw earlier. Having a minimap would really help, or at least making more well delimited zones that look different instead of this one big square, trying to remember where something was could be literally in any point of it.
  • Some challenges it wasn't clear when I could do them or needed an upgrade. There are a lot of points where you can just barely make it with some specific set of abilities and I didn't knew if I just had to keep trying or if I had to go back to running around in circles hoping to find something I missed. There were a lot of bubbles you could barely reach with a double jump, some places that required the surf ability that you also could barely get to the walls, and some platforms you could barely reach with one fuel pack, after the second these diminish.

I got stuck after finding the surf in the ground ability, which I honestly don't know what it's meant to do. I only got 2 fuel packs and I don't know how long the game is supposed to go, it says in your page that you couldn't finish it but the screenshots show you with 5 fuel packs. There were a lot of places I couldn't reach so I know I haven't seen everything.

I wanted to play your game again because I knew there was way more to see and I felt like you love metroidvanias, and I love them too. I think you get what's important: ambiance, good art and good music, and above all, exploration. So yeah, good job. You really did a lot in a short period of time.

Thank you for all the feedback. I will take it into account when making the update. This is a big help, thank you. =)
