Fun game! Loved the creativity and how you took the theme. I tryharded and went into epic gamer mode but still could not beat it D:

Music was sick, loved the CRT Shader and all the other post processing.

However, when it was my first time playing, it wasn't clear what I had to do (since I couldn't beat the shield thing). Maybe add something that explains that you have to pass shield thing to fight the boss? (You might have idk - i suck so i couldnt even beat the tutorial :P)

Overall, I loved the game! Well done!

This game is extremely difficult! And I love it! The mix between platformer and rhythm works wonders. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish the game, I found it to be far too difficult for my level of skill. However, for what I did play, here's what I can say about it:

I think that the artstyle is really nice, I love how the camera has a distorted look to give it a 3D feel. I also love how everything looks glitchy and buggy, it really does further add to the theme of the game. 

The rhythm parts when you play as the shield having to get the arrows at the right time, I thought were the most difficult, but the most fun. I would love to see a full game dedicated just to this style of gameplay, and I love how the music matches when the arrows hit the shield, it feels and sounds so good to do.  The blue bullets the get shot out are quite hard to dodge, I found myself dying to them most of the time. The dash ability is a bit weird to use; It doesn't feel like I'm dashing when I use it, rather it feels like I teleport to a different location, so I avoided using it simply due to not feeling good to use. 

Despite all of that, I really bloody love this game! It's so much fun to play, and I'm gonna try get this game finished! (Well, I'll TRY, thats if I don't rage quit in the process xD). Great submission, well done!

Thank you so much!

Very very cool! Really unique and weird in all the good ways. Super hard but I understand that was the point and it really added to that 'one more go' feeling! The sound design alone was brilliant and the shifts in gameplay and amazing visuals really added to it! Felt like two games in one that could have easily carried individual games by themselves tbh! Amazing work.

I did it! After like 30 minutes of trying lol. Actually really fun, you combined 2 games that I really loved, terraria and undertale. Music was a banger too. I just couldn't find any use for the crouch, also the teleporting arrows could've smoothly travel in a curve instead of teleporting, I feel it would be more intuitive that way. Other than that, really great submission!

Nice! Thank you for playing and actually beating it! XD A lot of people found it too hard for them. XD

Very epic game, the art is awesome, music and sfx is on point, movement feels very nice as well, the only thing Imma complain is that it's too hard, even epic gamers like me can't beat it. Overall epic game, keep up the good work :D

Thanks! There is a warning disclaimer about how hard it is! XD
