Hey, your key art doesn't do your game justice. Everything actually looks much more beautiful and stylish in the game itself!

The visual style of the game is great, I love it. The only downside would be, it struggles with visual language sometimes. Certain level elements blend too much with the background, sometimes it is hard to tell a wall from a decorative background element. This also goes for projectiles passing through some obstacles but being stopped by others, in a seemingly random fashion.

Controls are great and smooth. Enemy attack and movement patterns leaves desire to have directional attack options (firing at certain angles, up and down, not only left-right). Also, I wanted to find a proper combination of dashing and dodging enemy attack - especially on tough drone battles at the end of the level - and I feel like sometimes avoiding damage wasn't possible at all. No matter how quick I was, there is a number of situations where I felt like getting hit is unavoidable. You might want to look into that. It would't be a huge problem, but extremely satisfying if done right. 

The tutorial helps a lot to understand what's going in the game, but I would advice to space everything out a little. It's hard to pull off properly (and I'm guilty of overlooking tutorial issues myself :) ), but you could entertain new players much better if you would integrate all those hints into levels more seamlessly, letting the player actually get to the game as fast as possible, only showing them when they are absolutely necessary to progress (dash over a pit, shoot to fight off a monster, etc.). I must say you did a good job presenting in the way it is, though.

Sometimes, it necessary to die to actually return to a previous part of the level to collect something instead of going for exit portal. Once again, not a huge problem, a lot of other games do that too - but felt like a little bit of an oversight for me.

I played through ~4 levels and I love it so far. Keep up the good work!

Hello! Welcome to Feedback Quest 5!

Playing through, I immediately felt like I had a better idea of what I was doing and what was going on compared to last time. I went through a few of the levels, having fun with my jumping and shooting while noting things that I felt should be covered.

One thing that was brought up already was the loss of keys upon death after a checkpoint. While collectibles stay, keys are lost and the player is forced to restart from the hub (not even just the level) to go back and get them.

Another thing was crumbling blocks vanishing from just touching them but not walking on them. While they do respawn, this can lead to some confusion from players and they may not realize until later that they respawn.

I had a point in one stage where I tried to kill myself on a spiked wall and ended up in the wall. That was fun. XD

Finally, one particular behaviour that I dislike from this, even though some of the games that are inspiring you did this, was that flying enemies could pass through walls if attacking you. I personally think they should be forced to fly around, both for consistency and to make a better challenge to the player. When enemies just beeline for you, you can usually move back and eventually get an easy shot on them.

I can't wait to see more! :D
