yep, thanks for reporting; it's an intermittent bug that made it into the official jam release :( Reloading fixes it, but it does leave a bad aftertaste.
It was a fun diversion and felt very metroidvanish. It's hard to judge the assets, as they are external (which is OK, especially since there are 4 engineers writing a game :).
The only gripe I have is that when I arrived in the boss room, the door closed behind me and the room was closed. I then realized that there was a big guy running around in spikes in the room before - probably the boss escaped its enclosure and soft-locked me in that room.
Very nice, especially for the first jam. I was impressed and drawn in by the graphics, the sound effects and animations were spot on. The controls were OK, shooting took some time to get used to.
I didn't manage to go very far - the transitions between the rooms disoriented me, I couldn't find my way out of the first few rooms. Decided to jump into space obstructed by some bushes, just to see if I'd find a secret exit there - then I appeared in the middle of some room with spikes to the right (and a trampoline mooshroom in the middle). I could not make it neither by the closed door on the right or the wall o the left.
I would definitely spend more time on a version with bigger areas, or at least with a less eager camera, it's a great material for SMVM.
A very astute reader might notice that while graphics is done by J Hopkins, I am credited with "additional GFX." Well, the meatballs are the "additional GFX." Sorry.
