The very first thing I noticed was that you submitted 6 days before the deadline! Wonder what you could've done with all that extra time!
I enjoyed a decent runthrough! I particularly liked the fact that the enemies did not chase me to death, they have just a small aggro radius, which feels pretty spot on.
I died because I had to drop down and fell into something that I couldn't even see to begin with.. 3 times on the same spot haha :D I'd have liked to know what I should've done different. Maybe a small delay of 1/2 seconds after dying to show the screen and give the player the opportunity to see what it was that killed them would solve it already?
mann 6 days before the deadline!! Imagine. Thank you for your submission!
It's short but what's there is pretty good, especially in the theme and art department. I did actually beat it with over 100 souls even if I am terrible at platformers.
Very good looking pixel art! The aesthetics and music are very nice. The platformer part is good too, mostly because you have to pay attention to the enemies and be very quick not to get caught. Very nice game!
Game is really cool and sounds are great, everything fits well together but its very annoying that i have to refresh page when i want to play again and wait for the game to load AGAIN
Fun game but kinda confusing on what to collect and what to avoid in the beginning, as other have said the difficulty is kind of a bit steep and a try again button would be useful but I think you followed the theme, produced a good game, and deserve high ratings.
Nice 2D platformer! Art was very cool and the sound set a good mood for the game! It was hard but not impossible, although I don't think I could get all the souls without retrying a hundred times :)
And talking about retrying, a "Try Again" button at the end would be a QOL addition! Or is it there and I didn't find it?
Thank you for the fun!
Well Spectro is very cute, the hero for me was the palette not to say your art was not very impressive also. Music and SFX were solid too wow I am trying to think of some useful feedback....
Perhaps some more variation in enemy movements as they were very smooth and unforgiving if you misstep.
Love the art style and lighting. As others mentioned, a restart button would be nice.
I liked the pixel art sprites, very good looking!
The music was also nice. Maybe tone down a bit the death sound effect.
I got 74 souls in my first run. It would have been great to have a retry button at the end.
Good job!
Cool game. Love the visuals. I would suggest a MUCH easier first level to teach the player how to play the game. Maybe even have the camera lead when having to jump down and move side to side to collect those souls. Ease in the difficulty from there. Oh! And I would suggest making the souls orange, or the enemies orange. Everything being blue, it's harder for stuff to stand out. Nice artwork!
