Developer Feedback Questions
Hello! I have been working on this Metroidvania for 1 year.

I would love any general feedback or suggestions. (everything is a WIP)

I hope it will become a game that people enjoy exploring the world in.

As with most Metroidvanias you have to explore and find upgrades to gain access to the new zones. (If you are a metroidvania fan, I'm really curious what you think about the world and progression.)

Your main ability at the start is you can use your magical spear as a weapon and a platform!

Very impressive work so far! The controls feel solid and using your weapon to platform is a fun concept. I could definitely see how some unique powers could really change how the game feels to play, which is important for metroidvanias. I would love to see the mapped key appear when I can interact with things. I'm interested to see how this game develops!

This game is beautiful. Gives me strong hollow knight vibes, which is especially fantastic for me since my own games visuals were strongly based on hollow knight and similar styles. Great UI, very stylized and professional. This is a game I would definitely pay money for in its current state. To be honest, not a whole lot I can gripe about, just had a great time looking around to be honest, almost as much as I did actually engaging with the gameplay. I'm very stingy with 4 and 5 star ratings in these jams, but this game definitely deserves it. Very impressed.

Wow thanks for the amazing comment! I will work on it for a year or 2 more :D It's really great to hear that a Hollow Knight fan likes the game, I'm a huge fan too! I'm making the game for people who enjoy metroidvanias, especially Hollow Knight fans.  Thanks again!

Of course. I'm very excited to see how far this game goes. It has an amazing aesthetic. Do you plan to include any hidden lore, like in hollow knight?

Developer(+1)

Oh yes, I hope to put a lot of world-building and lore into the game~ right now there are just some hidden spots, statues, and NPCs spread around.  I want to try and reward exploration with cool lore and upgrades :D

I remember this game from #improve26, and I love the new addons. The new feel is great and the UI is quite slick. And the birds that fly, hopfully I am not mistaken, but I dont remember that... New? Looks awesome. 

Great job!
