Intresting, a metroidvania!

Often a dev make a metroidvania and submit it for a jam.

I played a lot of this games but are all broken or very incomplete.

This is different.

Yes it's small(obvious, it's a jam game) and the power ups it's not super original but it works really well. Has a good progression and even a "AH-AH!" moment if you explore well (no spoilers ;) ) reminds me a lot of Ghost and Goblins (yeah, i know, not a metroidvania) in the jumping and even the enemies. I played  about 40/60 mins beacause i had fun e wanto to explore all of it.

Couple of issues: 

Like you said: controls for keyboard it's uncofortable. I'm a "seasoned" metroidvania/platform player forged by the flame of thousands jumps and tricks so, with a little bit of effort i could still playing it. People not in the genre...i don't know with these controls.

In the Casrtle Garden there is a small platform that protect you to go in the purple water but i pressed S and I ended up there anyway. So i tried to go right and left and i could pass under the walls. I tought I found a secret but...nope. Then i died when i got close to the spikes.

The S button for jumping off platforms sometimes works and sometimes the character get stuck in the middle of the pixels

In the Center Yard if you try to explore with the bat form you can jump completley the first boss and go directly to the shadow lord room. If you go further you can go out of bounds and fall infinitley.

But despite that (not big issues in my opinion for a jam game) , it's a great work!

This is a super cool game and i love the visuals.

(I played the Linux build of the game)

I would love to continue playing the game cause it looks great, but unfortunately the control scheme is really making it hard, can't get even out of second room :(
WASD is a good movement choice when you use the mouse to do most of the action, but since most of the action keys are on the left side, together with movement options (like time stopping, and even shooting even though I tried to use the CTRL key on the right for it), it's too difficult for me to coordinate the movements, since I almost need to use only my left hand to play the entire game.

Would love to go back playing this if the movement was also assigned on the arrow keys though, it looks really well made, liking all graphics, animations, and music too, great job!

Bravo!! The game is amazing

This is crazy!! Can't believe you made this in a week! Can definitely see this being on steam.

Cool !!!

This was a treat, really well made, and the visual/music fit the vibe of the game perfectly!

Reminds me of that feeling  you get playing oldschool Samus and stuff

Incredible submission, every powerup felt meaningful, the map was designed so well to not make me have to backtrack and I loved it the entire way through.

this is absolutely insane for a game made in only 10 days! i haven't played all the way through yet, i plan to later. i love everything about this game, especially the music. Good job on this one!
