Hi! you can dodge using [K] on the keyboard or (B) on Xbox controller.
You can use L to make the dialgues go faster(My bad, next time will be the same key used for next line).
You're not clumsey, the enemies are too hard, they attack very fast with little to none anticipation, that's something that should be balanced. After the Jam finish you can came back and play the updated version of the game,. Thank you for playing!!
This is a great game overal, good concept, a good level design that knows how to play with the main concept(jumping kill's you), and an very original implementation of what a metroidvania can be.
What I think could be better:
Some kind of feedback when lossing hearth, I died a lot of times because I forgot about my hearth.
Animations, Sounds and Presentation in general, But this is very dificult to have in time for a Jam.
When I land on the diferent colors and effect is applied to the player(lossing or gainning hearth), but this doesn't happen when walking over, this limitation makes the games harder, but is agains what normally happen in most games(effects on collition) so is not very intuitive.I didn't get how that works until late in the game, so maybe a mini tutorial explaining that could help
Loved the art style and presentation in general, is one of the best in this Jam. But I didn't really like the level design for some reason, I think it wasn't very intuitive for me or maybe is missing some kind of motivation to continue exploring the game. I will continue playing later after finish with other entries, after that I will have a better feedback for you.
The recovery time of the enemies is almost instantaneous, and is something we need to fix for the future, also for the feedback on hits maybe a blood effect or other visual clue should be enough.
about the telegraphing, was something we notice too late, the final boss has a lot of telegraphing in his 3 main attacks, in one he even make a sound before start. we are going to add more importance to that. Especially with the normal enemies that are the more common fights.
To speed up the dialog boxes you can press [L] on keyboard or (B) on Xbox controller, but there's no clue inside the game of how to, using enter is a better way and more intuitive way.
Thank you again, this is very useful, I will literally save your comment :-)
