Glad you enjoyed the game so much!

btw that's not a bug, that room was gona connect later, but it was unused due to time restrains for the jam.

also the double transition was a bug I didn't have time to fix in the jam.

Thank you for playing! I wanted to try my hand at a zelda like for a while, and the theme just kinda pushed me to it. ForteXP's music is always a treat, so happy They helped me again this jam!

Glad you enjoyed it so much! Thank you for playing!

Thanks for playing! Yeah you start out able to go to town or the mansion, and I made the starting location kind of push you to the mansion first. the NPC teaching you how to play where my just righting throw away dialog, to fill the town a bit.

Thank you glad you enjoyed it! my friend ForteXP did all the music, I'm always happy to get to work with them. 

Thank you! I think getting the enemies to react in a good way is what sells the combat feel. I was playing link's awakening on my game boy as I was programing, so I'm happy I got it to feel right!

Thanks for playing! never played Illusion of Gaia, but a room mate of mine was all ways talking about it.

Yeah I should be more clear, menu has always just stuck in my head as an go to interface in games, so I though it would suffice sorry.

Playing on those old LCD screens in the car was almost impossible. the car turns and the suns no longer lighting up the screen UGH. so happy when back light screens became the norm.

Wow thats a lot of text! Thanks for finishing the game, Glad you enjoyed it so much!!

Yeah sorry for the Sound Balance, audio is not my strongest suit, I tried my best.

Also Wow, did not know about that softlock, gona need to address that, thanks for telling me! Guess I'll make the minimum starting health for a save 3, and stop pausing while dyeing.

Yeah the moving platforms is something I coded quickly in the last day. they apply velocity directly to the player. this is why play testing is important, but I didn't really have people to play test for me so I missed a few things.

It was, but I was using D-pad. I stand by up being jump is bad. even on keyboard I would have hated it LOL.

Interesting game you made, I can see what you where aiming for (maybe, I could have no clue what I'm talking about.)

Pros:    the environment, with the lighting, and the layering it very stunning to look at.  the visual effects are also very enjoyable.  I love the theme with the Germanic classic of a child lost in the woods of the fey, (but a bit more violent, or less?) 

cons:     The gameplay doesn't really work well with the Bullet Hell style, the movement can be clunky, making the best strategy just spamming the sword, until everything is dead and you can move on. and the Gun feels unneeded, its slow to shoot, and the bullet travel so slow the fairies will just move a bit out of the way and dodge. 

Bugs:  Some times I wall jump off the ground? that's strange. Also you can run past all the fairy's killing none, and still get called a murder (That ones just funny.)

Final Thoughts :     I did Enjoy the game, from what I played.  the best suggestion I can think of if you plan on finishing this entry, maybe focus on the movement and sword play? Give the player some dodge options, like a double jump or dash. make the sword have a small combo chain, with more lag after it. but let the player move while attacking.
or if you want to Keep the Gun make it easy and fast to shoot but weak, and keep the sword as a pure parry tool. 

With a bit of work, I think you can make something very fun. Hoped this feedback helped.

Great entry!

I love the touhou vibes from the Ui design, and the Bullet patterns.

The sprite work was a bit weak, and the bullets being the same shade as the background really made it hard to see them at times.
