This is really great. I'm always so surprised at how good level design can be in a game jam. I loved how triggering switches on the map would open all vents, which meant that returning to an older area meant I could usually explore more with the new vents I'd opened. like others have mentioned, I think the combat felt a little secondary, maybe a bit too simple. Other than that, the platforming is very solid and the level design is great!

The music was also quite good (although it didn't seem to loop, so most of the game was silent, not sure if that was intentional to be atmospheric or if it was a sound bug in the web version).

Nice work!

edit: I forgot to mention, I really like the art style! I know most games at 64x64 resolution tend to have similar art styles, but I love the 'spaced' art you've created, with minimal outlines and spaces to suggest geometry. I think it's really stylized and works really well!

I've got to applaud your use of the resolution restriction. You've got a platformer that feels really solid. I also love the sound effects. They've got that 8 bit retro charm.

I think the game asks a bit much from the player early on. The initial platforming challenges have you jumping as far as you can over pits of spikes and lava, and I died several times just trying to get to the sword.

I'm not sure I would have picked getting the player's health up as the first major objective, since it would have been nice to have more health while trying those challenges.

Absolutely incredible job! You managed to pack a lot of depth into this in such a short timeframe. The mobility mechanics were fun and had a certain precision to them that felt good. You really knocked the exploration and progression out of the park, and I appreciated the ending heads up a lot given I'd missed a coin along the way. The combat seemed largely superfluous, but that's far preferable to it being an interruption or an annoyance. Pretty sure I fired the bow once just to test it out, but maybe I would've used it more if I'd spent more time in Look Ahead mode. I also never felt the need to use the shield. I think they'd have been well served to solve environmental puzzles/hazards, but it was still cool to have them as combat options even if they sat unused.

There are some minor nitpicks, here and there; some grating sound effects, stationary arrows caused damage, an awkward checkpoint position lead to some frustration near the end. But overall, this was fantastic. The Artemis franchise is going places.

This is a proper game! kudos on this, godot comrade ;)

This is incredible, especially given the short time period! I really liked the visual style it worked really well. I did feel the player moved a little slow, but it wasn't a big issue

My biggest issue was actually the sound, I found the jump sound and the dialogue sound sO annoying I had to mute the game. I tried lasting out because I really liked the background music, but it was just grating around in my head too much! The signs were also slow to scroll by, so a skip dialogue or fast forward button wouldve been VERY appreciated!

I think it says a lot that my only real grievances were just minor annoyances, so good job :)

I also would've had a slower introductory level where you taught the player the basic platforming (since you have a ton of cool platforming abilities) before you introduced the magic system!

So, story and overall atmosphere were very good in my opinion, I do think that because of the number of controls you have, button prompts at least at the beginning would help me know what to do faster.
