Really cool shader effect. I dig it! Also, the gameplay was fun, and the bosses were tough!

I loved playing this game, even more so when the main character's a vegan badass!
I was only able to find 1 secret in the first zone, 2 or 3 secrets in the second zone, and just 2 secrets in the final zone. They are quite the revelations of her life :o
My only problem was adjusting to the patterns of the first 2 bosses, while the 3rd boss appeared to be changing her patterns, at least until my second playthrough :p
Great work on this submission to the game jam, and I look forward to playing more of your games in the future :)
I loved this game! Well done. Being a vegan, I especially love all the powers she gets. Those bosses were tough!
I loved the vegan part of this game. I thought it was a really lovely tongue in cheek humour to add.
Love the swimming feature, that was really cool!
I also had the problem with the health bar. My heart stayed full until I died and respawned so I didn't know how much health I had left.
The boss battle was pretty nice, I like that the boss freezes when hit, as it allows the player enough time to get out of the way. It's pretty allright, and I like that you included a hint about secret treasures, as I hadn't run across one and would be able to keep an eye out for them in the future (though with how frantic the timer is, I feel as though I'd be pressed for time if I went looking for them-- you may want to tone down the counter a bit and find ways to encourage exploration.) Aside from that, I don't know how to feel about the touting of veganism; it seems a bit out of place and crass in how it was delivered, so it made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
You're probably right about the timer. Once the voting has ended I'll probably remove it
As for the Veganism I'm not sure what's crass about my delivery of it? It's supposed to be a play on the 'Veganism gives superpowers' thing. It's not my intent to make any kind of statement regarding Veganism itself, it's just a framing device. It's about the character and why she continues to be one. It's supposed to represent anything that makes you, the player, feel better about yourself and the reasons why you do it.
I'm not much of a writer, so any tips you have for getting that across better would be appreciated.
