This was sick. I love the graphics and voice acting. I did end up softlocking the game when I pressed q to use the hypnosis and shift at the same time. Other than that, I had fun. Good job. :)

Really cool voice acting! The mechanics were cool, especially the attack feels really snappy! Sometimes I did have some trouble jumping on the platforms, I would sort of get stuck on the corners. 

This reminds me of the Hercules game way back in the day, with excellent voice acting and abilities and effects that make it exciting to play!

It was a bit disappointing that the mechanics don’t play a bigger role in the game, but I guess you’ve hit the limit of what can be done in a week!

I’d be excited to play a more polished release of this game! Let me know if you’d like my complete notes, especially if you’re considering to continue the development!

Great job on this game. I was not expecting such a fleshed out world and well designed and written characters. The art really stuck out to me and the voice acting was a great touch! I did find the gameplay to be a bit challenging at times, but still enjoyed progressing through your story and being in this world. Great job!

This was a really complex game, really good work with it. I particularly liked the voice acting at the beginning and the Greecian style of the whole thing. The powers and feel of the platforming were quite reminiscent of  Castlevania - which is great cause that's an awesome series!

A couple of suggestions that I think may improve the experience though:

- I wasn't too keen on the colour palette if I'm honest - I appreciate the look you were going for, but it being mostly grey made the levels look a little dull (which was a shame because the modelling was excellent!). I think splashing hints of colour here and there would greatly improve it. Like maybe the torches giving off a vivid yellow light or the monsters having a brightly coloured mark on them, etc.

- I could hear the clicks of you turning your mic off / pressing the keyboard after some of the spoken audio tracks. You can easily fix this by using free software like Audacity to limit background noise and trim the ends of your audio tracks.

I saw that you wanted to expand this to a series so hopefully those suggestions are helpful in some way! :) Good luck!

Nice voice acting. Some of your level design was really clever, I liked the part with the Medusa heads, and how there was a path that you could take to always be under them. I wish the controls were more responsive; The wind up for taking shot is pretty long for instance.

Nice game rated it, pls check out my game also if you don't mind - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1418152

I wasn't expecting full voice acted dialogue in a game jam game, and the main character design was very cool! Good work!

The main character is AWESOME! I love their design and animations! The enemies look super cool too! I'm a little confused on the shadow mechanic though, when I press shift nothing happens. How does it work? I would love to give this game a full playthrough, since it looks awesome and the other comments mentions how in depth it goes, just confused on the start!

I love the music in this game, it's so epic! A platformer where you can acquire powers is such an awesome concept, I had a lot of fun with this game, I will definitely keep an eye out for part 2 of this game. Excellent gam and great job!

Looks awesome! Love the idea of using shadows!

The art is very good, the story is intriguing but I get lost and I don't know where I have to go, I go room to room looking for a door that will take me to a new room. I didn't use the darkness and the sleep bullet  much. It is a good game with cool art.
