I really liked this game. I think it's one of the tops in terms of "fun" for me. Art style is also very cute. I love the art for his pirate buddies.

Loved your game! The art was fantastic. Probably my favorite art in the whole jam.

The sprites look great! It's definitely a bit of a challenge, but I really enjoy the different abilities Izil unlocks.

Just popping in to say I beat this game without cheats! You must have done some quality adjustments in there. I actually found myself really enjoying this game. It was difficult but there was something that compelled me to keep giving it one more go. 

The sprites in this game are just perfect. I love the theming of aquatic creatures as enemies. Oh, and the sea monster? Definitely my favorite design. Can you upload that somewhere? I just want to keep looking at it haha

The cheats definitely helped. Nicely done. Izil is so darn cute in this.

Fun little romp, had to cheat. I do think the level design suffers from "utilize the maximum distance of whatever mechanic you just got" syndrome instead of letting the player explore or feel out the movement. I traded hits with the last boss because I didn't really want to learn the patterns due to that. 

I could not find DSD.

Thanks for the feedback.  Yeah, I really rushed the levels, dialog, and cutscenes since I left it till the last minute (not that they'd be much better if I had time).  I agree with you on the levels 100%.
As for DSD (I also forgot "Dark" in his name lol), at the beginning of floor 7 you have to jump and dash across and you can see a gap in the ceiling.  It's basically above where the long stretch of spikes are.

It's truly a good thing you included those cheats. I would've given up very early without them. Even with max upgrades the game is still hard, but certainly more enjoyable!

Thanks!  I originally had max HP higher, but the HP bar was getting a bit too long.
