How does your game fit the theme?
Doors are meant to be walked through, but some will not let you out. Walk the nightmare scape of a dungeon where life is turned to stone and memories to ash.
Doors can consume you and trap you inside them, unless you destroy their hearts of course. The dungeon is a living being and it does not wish to have its rest broken.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
YES!

Wow, so well deserved #1 for Audio and Graphics. After overcoming the first hurdle of dashing upwards, the game got me hooked and extremely excited. Jumping diagonally forward over the trap enemies felt almost too overpowered, but such a nice pacing and ending as well.
This is why I love game jams. Just WOW! So much polish and care into the small details. Great great job with your game. Hope you keep working on it
Amazing art and animations! Breaking stuff feels super satisfying. The player controller could use some changes (the falling is kinda floaty) but it's still awesome. The sounds are epic too. Even with such a big team it's pretty impressive this was made in a week! Amazing work!
Thank you <3
Top tier entry here. Insane art and brilliant level design! Love this game ♥♥♥
Our thanks for playing!
Beautifully done game - art, animation, music, sound effects, story are all amazing. With so many of the parts there, I wish the mechanics had gone a bit deeper, but I understand you can only fit so much into a jam game. Keep polishing this up and I could see it as a full game release. Awesome job by the team.

The art is top, the eeling is great, i wish breaking stuff gave something in return sometime, like hp or anything really. The doors minigame is pretty cool and stressful in a good way! If you guys are a team and wanna make a big game, i think you could for sure!
Thank you for your kind words!!!
beautiful art, great controls, juicy sound, just overall fantastic. i would love to see where you go with it if you decide to continue!
Thank you for playing!
Amazing art in this one, really nice controls too, it feels like I'm playing a small section of a huge metroidvania or something. The attack and dash can feel a little "floaty" and unresponsive at times but other than that, excellent work!
Solid game! The only note is the very fast respawn of the player after death. You often die right away again because you haven't released the run key yet.
Yes, we know about that, but had no time to reimlpement it! Thanks for playing!
I'm pixel artist myself and playing few minutes felt awesome on that one.
This game definitely has potential, keep going :3
Thank you!
Impressive, that's all I have to say
Thanks!
The game is really good, it shows you know what you guys are doing, keep up the good work!

First of all I love the Jam page. The game feels and looks very nice. I especially love the colour theme and the animations, great! The hitting feels nice and the game is overall polished. Well done!
I always try my best with the Jam page :)
Thank you for the nice words!
The art is amazing , wp !
Thank you!!
very impressive that you made this in a week! fantastic job
<3
This looks absolutely gorgeous and plays great! My only suggestion would be to add some kind of visual or audio (ideally both) prompt to let players know when the dash and attack are available, the cooldowns work well to make it feel more intentional and less button mashy but it can be a bit frustrating at the start when it feels like your inputs are just getting eaten.
You are right, if we decide to continue with development, we will add sound clues! Thanks for feedback and playing our game!
Wow, this was super good! The visuals are great, the music awesome (made the end feel really intense), and the concept was overall great. I was unsure if destroying a door before it could eat you vs beating it from the inside had any impact on anything since they have different sprites after the fact, but I think it ended up all being the same? I think the only thing I could give any criticism to was that sometimes the dash was hard to control and some crumble platforms would fall apart even if you didn’t actually touch them, and one time a door ate me and it’s heart was just invincible, but those are all relatively minor flaws to an overall great game. My highest rated yet this jam!
Oh I rememeber you from a different game jam! Nice to see you!!
The different door sprites were meant to hold continuity with the first three doors, but yeah, there was no difference really. That could have been confusing. Dash, invincible door bug - noted. :)
Great points. Thank you!!!
Loved the story you told with this! Amazing visuals too!
Great work on those controls, the game already looked and sounded good, but most importantly it FELT good! Combining all of that together this was pretty cool to play through, nice job!
<3
it's amazing! the style is reminiscent of the not yet released "earth blade", from EXOK, and "blasphemous", I think if you continue to work on this game, add interesting lore and plot, it will be wondeerful game with an interesting style
Oh Earth blade fits so well! I didn't think of that, some of it could have served as inspiration! :D
Thank you!!
