How does your game fit the theme?
Find strength in isolation. In this captivating adventure, play as a hunted magical creature. Every step into the treacherous forest weakens you, forcing you deeper into solitude. Outsmart deadly traps, face relentless foes, and battle exhaustion and hunger – all to rescue your captured companion. But a dark secret lurks in the shadows, threatening to consume you both.

This journey challenges the limits of your power. As isolation grows, manage your dwindling abilities strategically. Will you cling to fading magic, or adapt with cunning stealth? The choices you make will forge your destiny in this unforgiving world.

The game is similar to mine lol. But I like the graphics especially. Good game!

Very cute deer, though something about the way they’re looking over their shoulder feels off. It was very easy to get out of bounds going right at the start, which let me get to the deep forest easily, and then die due to enemies respawning too fast. Also couldn’t figure out what the deal with the frog statues were. I really like the theme and overall art direction though, would love to see what this could become :D

Nice pixel art!

GAMEPLAY
Game will need some love. The controls function well, but the game could benefit from clearer objectives or guidance, such as more explanation or a compass, to improve player understanding and engagement. I was now also just spamming shots.

ART STYLE / VISUALS
The pixel art is beautifully executed and is a standout feature of the game.

AUDIO / SOUND DESIGN
Currently lacking a soundtrack and sound effects, which are anticipated as part of future updates. The addition of these elements is crucial for enhancing the overall atmosphere.

INNOVATION
The game does not introduce significant innovations.

THEME
The theme is present but addressed only minimally. 

Overall a solid base for expansions and updates in the future. Keep up that good work 💪

Neat game! I like the sprites in it

The art direction of this game was beautiful! The gameplay felt a little stiff however and my shield didn't work. All in all great job!

Wonderful sprites! Game was a bit too hard for me ( maybe I'm just bad at the game XD )

Very cute sprites. I reached the room with the black frogs and I couldn't get further. It wasn't clear to me what to do there.

Beautiful spritework! I did not have any sound or music on both Firefox or Edge, though.

There is no sound/music, we sadly ran out of time.
